He will be missed for his contributions to personal computers, music players, smartphones, tablets and CG animation. He will be missed for being a marketing innovator who had visionary ideas on consumer electronics and the latent needs that they could tap into once enabled by technological advances. He will be missed for being an icon of the era when the computing industry blossomed from a niche industrial field to a ubiquitous tool for everyone, the latest generation of innovation and development that has created knowledge and wealth. But we should not be saddened with his loss. We should celebrate his contributions, and try to be like him in vision.

I don't blame the Democrats or the Republicans.

I don't blame Wall Street nor the financial system.

I blame cancer for our loss of Jobs.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs


Great man with an even greater legacy. It is very inspiring to see what he has done in his life and i cant help but feel motivated to try and emulate it if not surpass it.

If everyone had this drive to change the world, it would be a much better place.

RIP Steve. WP

RIP, have never cared much for Apple in general (though I love the iPod) but his Stanford commencement speech has inspired me a lot when I first listened to it. Great man.
It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather than to bow one's head and succumb.

I despise apple products, and it's fanabse even more, but nobody can hate Pixar if they have a heart. For that alone, this is a sad thing. I know they'll continue to make movies, but they would not have existed today without him, and wonderful pictures like Wall-E or Up would never have existed. For that alone, I am sad that he has passed.

I've never bought a single Apple product and don't plan to buy one in the future, but his achivements are undeniable. He may have died early, but he is now immortalised in a way by his followers and his legacy.
A great loss.

It kinda makes me cringe when I see people opening the post with some form of I hate Apple (even tho they never used one of the company's products), I don't understand since I never saw a thread about anything PC related where people using Apple products had the need to come and open with I hate Windows.

That is terribly sad, specially since the devices you are typing (even more if you are on a mobile platphorm) would be a lot more behind if it not for Steave Jobs and Apple.

His ability to sell ideas and make people excited about anything no matter how minute or crazy it is (best demonstrated on his amazing keynote presentations) is why the tech world is not 10 years behind now.

RIP

So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

It's quite intangible how much influence such a remote person, his visions, direction and passion had on my life.

Through the Macintosh I discovered my passion for graphic design, my love for all the little details and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful.

Without the Mac, I wouldn't have opted to work in the creative industry, I wouldn't have studied design, I wouldn't have the job I have now and never met the girl I'm in love with.

Thank you.

I don't own any apple products, but I still think he is one of the largest, if not the largest innovator of the 21st century.

RIP Steve.

When I first heard that he had passed away, I was sad, of course, but outside of a "Well that sucks" I had no other reaction. So I proceeded to hit up a stream, and pass out to the wonderful sound of banelings melting marines. A few hours later I awoke, and after a quick trip to the bathroom, failed to return to my peaceful slumber. So, I refreshed TL to see who was streaming, and refreshed twitter to see what was going on and I saw a tweet by slasher.

"My first computer was on an Apple IIc. I started my Warcraft 2, Starcraft and Quake gaming on my iMac, part of the first ever mac-only clan." Which was followed by "My competitive gaming experience started on GameRanger, a mac-only client, and with mac-only players. A part of my childhood left today. RIP" Then it hit me...

I've spent most of my adult life being a PC elitist, trash talking every apple computer, the iphone, ipad, with the only piece of apple technology I own being an ipod, and I hated needing itunes on my computer to sync my stuff to it, as well as it not having a standard USB cable because im always losing my sync cable.

But it hasn't always been that way. Like slasher, I too started on a Macintosh computer. When I was still in grade school I passed the nights away, staying up until 3AM, playing Starcraft, Warcraft, and Command and Conquer, and then catching a few hours of sleep before leaving for school. Somewhere in life I forgot this. I forgot I played amazing games on a Mac, and became a complete hater of almost everything apple. I laughed at the idea of the ipad. I searched for ways to show the inferiority of the iphone.

Because of Jobs genius, vision and his companies I got into RTS games, and fell in love with every movie Pixar has released. To that all I can say is thanks. Thanks for the experience, thank you for the pleasure, and thank you for helping shape me into the gamer I am today, even though it took a long haired, short-shorts wearing dude to make me realize it.

RIP
