I'm no fan of Apple, but it's a damn shame for somebody so involved in the industry to die so early.
RIP.
Steve Jobs has died.

Where ever your soul is now, Steve Jobs, I hope it's at peace.
Returning to more mundane matters, many problems in this world come about because people simply don't care — after all, it doesn't immediately affect them. So the problems fester and grow, and by the time they *do* affect a lot of people, it takes far more resources to solve than they would otherwise. But, I guess that's human nature, and only a more-evolved version of humanity will be able to overcome that current shortcoming.

A posthumous thanks to the man who saved Pixar some 25 years ago.

I shed a tear on my lubberlee lil Apple lappy, my favorite bedwarmer. 
Bye Mr. Jobs, I hope your protective hand from up there keeps comps from getting boring again.

I don't go reading the obituaries saying RIP to every single person on those pages, I have no intention of doing so to SJ. I find it strange that when someone is famous for something everyone says comments like RIP and populate the web with such messages but it is only because they are famous for something and that something is not solving world hunger or bringing about world peace, it's merely making a product or being seen in a film, or singing a song. If you read or watch the news, on it you will see people dying all the time for many reasons and some far worse ways to go than others yet you don't say RIP out loud to those, so why to celebrities... This mindset of saying it for famous people on the net is dubious imho you don't know him, you just know of him.
You are missing the point. Stop ranting and think first. Thank you.
As for the death of Steve Jobs, may he rest in peace...he was a wonderfully creative individual. I have respect for such people.

I think he's referring to Jobs buying Pixar from George Lucas.

My respects to the "iCEO", a man who put emphasis on solutions instead of features.

Never really knew him or his work. Never liked Mac's because they've mostly been incompatible with games. But a man like Steve Jobs deserves respect. A Great visionary and person has left us for the great beyond. Both knowing when and how to push your staff, and how to reward success.
R.I.P Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011. Leaving the world a better place.

RIP Steve Jobs.
Today (or rather yesterday?) is a sad day indeed - especially for creative people all over the worlds. The (greek) gods shall know that I've been the first to critizise (sp?) Apple's products and business plans. Steve Jobs, however, I've always seen him as a visionary, a man way before his time, and a man that always dared to go against the stream. When someone said or adviced him against something, he did it anyway - and usually it went ok - sometimes it went great. Steve Jobs was a man that believed in his vision for Apple, he also believed strongly in making technology userfriendly; without him I doubt we'll have had the pc roll out during the 1980's and the 1990s.
Someone mentioned he was a god, maybe he was - he was, as I see it, a man that was larger than life.

I'm going to try to translate this blog post and see what people think.
Steve Jobs, a victim of alternative medicine.
In October of 2003, a person was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Only one out of six survives a year after the diagnosis. But instead of a death sentence, the doctors had good news for him: not all cancers are the same and, in his case, the tumor was of a rare kind, much less aggresive and operable. In the face of such stroke of luck, this person chose to refuse his medical team's recommendation and follow an "anti-cancer" diet. He was buddhist, vegetarian and skeptical of "ortodox" medicine. He was Steve Jobs.
That his tumor was of such a rare kind that it didn't advance at light speed like all the rest of pancreatic cancers allowed him to change his mind about his stupid decision nine months later. Any other person would have died by then, but he was special. Five years later, when only a pitiful 6% survives, he was one of the lucky ones.
In 2009 he had a liver transplant—the pancreatic cancer's favorite organ for metastasis. He lived for two more years, eight since the diagnosis. To make it to ten would have been a miracle. A miracle he could have made true.
What we wouldn't have now if Steve Jobs had not gone through that surgery? What we won't have because of that stupid nine months delay? Geniuses are human, too. And because of that, from today, the world will progress at a little lower pace.

Pancreatic cancer isn't a fun way to go, here I'm hoping they find a cure soon.
