Steve Jobs is dead

[absolutehell]

I know what you're saying, but I'm guessing that he enjoyed the fruits of his labor every morning when he arrived at his office. Kind of like Enzo Ferrari and other iconic figures, people like Jobs don't look forward to sitting in a rocking chair at 65, like most of us do. They're blessed to be doing exactly what they'd like to be doing forever.

This is really different. It's VERY unusual for a business leader (or even an engineer/inventor) to be seen as a "rock star". But there are make-shift memorials popping up all around the world right now, according to Bloomberg.

Very well said indeed.He was more concerned about what he was doing, and he exactly had an idea about what he was doing.Had he lived 100 years, he's have done the same thing.

R.I.P Mr.Jobs.We will miss you.

:goodpost: I guess so many of us do jobs we hate we can't comprehend someone doing a job that they would also consider an enjoyable hobby, I'm sure that's what kept him working right up to within a couple of months of his death

When a man who works so passionately and diligently at his job retires for health reasons, his time is unfortunately very near.
May he rest in peace.

Cancer is an insidious disease. May he rest in peace. A true pioneer and visionary, his legacy will live on.

I doubt Jobs would've done much without electricity.

And iTunes wouldn't have amounted to much if recorded sound hadn't evolved.

It should have been Gates instead

He was such a cool guy
Thanks Steve

Another bummer, he was still presenting new technology to the very end. We need more people like him creative as he was.

I'm shocked ...

RIP Steve!
