Whatever side of the PC/Mac/Linux divide you stand on this is a sad day. He made Apple the company it is today and whilst you may not like the products they are without doubt pioneers in their field. His products will have touched all of us in someway be it love hatred or just awareness. He will be missed even if not initially but for the ideas he will now never share.

Shame most of the successful apple stuff wasn't designed or thought up by Steve, and at least now they might rethink the ban on running Flash.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

R.I.P.
As person above me posted, 95% of apples products were not thought up by Steve, but of course he gets the credit for being at the head of the company and presenting them. Definitely a loss, but not as huge as apple fans make it to be.0 -
Who had him in the sweepstakes?0

Credit to him and his return to apple for driving the idea that technology could be good looking.
RIP0 -
ObamaThe world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.
What a way to go. I probably be found 2 weeks later rigamortis on the floor of a council flat. :shock:DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY0 -

I came on to go "Pancreatic cancer; there wasn't an app for that" and I was already beaten to it by hours. Ach well.

I heard that Steve Jobs was dead.....iCried. Hmm, too zune for jokes?You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.

What a load of bollocks! He was a bloody good CEO but he wasn't 'an inventive visionary' by any means.0 -
