He will be missed by both friends, competitors, and spectators alike as only now do we fully realize all that he meant to us. Not only did Steve Jobs build Apple out of his garage, but he also represented an era of great innovation that captured the hope, optimism, and innocent awe of a generation as consumer electronics redefined our lives. I envy his passion and dedication in the pursuit of something different as he continued to carry that optimistic spirit for the future while others began to settle for the present. I remember using my first Macintosh with real "floppy" drives in elementary followed by candy colored and pearl white iMacs throughout middle school. I remember playing around on itunes in that library while I was supposed to be doing... something. I remember gazing at the first iPods in stores when I still carried around a CD player. I remember getting my first color-screen cellphone in 7th grade, dreaming with my dad about how future phones were going to be computers in your pocket, and then sitting on a bench outside an Apple Store six years later clutching my iPhone with a feeling of absolute joy and sly guilt. Do you remember? I wasn't always a fan-boy, but Steve Jobs will always have my respect and admiration. Rest in peace. "Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

He didnt show us the future, but i must say he was the force that drived the development, and he brought good stuff to the masses. Even though i dislike apple and most of its products (basically all) I still think Apple is a good thing since its drives the competition forward so other companies are looking for ways to make products better then Apple. Still, accomplishing what he did is amazing. RIP Steve Jobs...

yeint Estonia2329 Posts October 06 2011 07:37 GMT #526 I keep struggling over which words to use. Visionary, great man, innovator, none of these are quite specific enough to describe how I feel about Steve Jobs. So I'll just say that he truly impressed me. He was a designer, not an engineer. But as much as Apple products are blamed for being nothing but style, the opposite is true. Steve Jobs' Apple made beautiful products that were a joy to use, while other tech companies, to this day, tend to make products whose feature lists are a joy to recite. I am primarily a PC user (because I'm a gamer), but I've loved every Apple product I've ever owned, because they were beautiful devices that were intuitively pleasant to use every day. I don't know why his death is impacting me on a more personal, emotional level. I guess it's a sad reminder of how transient everything is. But most of the sadness I feel is for those he left behind, because as far as Steve himself goes, he did more with his 56 years on earth than most people could do in 560, and he lived and died doing what he loved. I can only hope that when my day comes, I can say I lived doing what I love.

Steve Jobs is my hero and I've always wished I could be more like him. He was brilliant, brave, and genuine. I feel lonelier

Rabbitmaster 1357 Posts October 06 2011 07:56 GMT #539 Don't care much for Apple products in general, infact i hate many of them. But noone can deny that Steve Jobs had something special, he was a real visionary in many ways, so RIP.

HaXxorIzed Australia8434 Posts October 06 2011 08:00 GMT #540 I don't think I have ever really connected or cared that much the modern reverence for Apple products. But Jobs was a man with a unique understanding of memetics and marketing, and manage High-Tech cool in a way many thought could not be done. He was a hugely successful man, very influential and will be missed and lauded for his accomplishments - and remembered as one of the inspiring entrepreneurs in cultural memory. RIP.
