RIP. Not a fan of his products, but you gotta respect the marketing clout of the man.

Wow, I didn't expect to see a thread about him dying, it seemed like he stepped down from Apple over health concerns only a couple of weeks ago.

Requiescat in pace.

Mighty Mouse, iPod, iPad, the list goes on. Jobs was a great innovator, had remarkable savvy. This for a fruitarian...

An Apple a day, I guess...

RIP.

Dead at 56. Looks like Apple didn't install the 2.01 patch.

First computer was an Apple][. I never got into the Mac and various iGadgets, but the dude could move product.

I never cared much for Apple products, but he was a hell of a CEO, a visionary, and the tech products I do use are undoubtedly better due to his efforts.

A modern day Brunel. An autocrat, visionary and complete bastard.

But without such people we'd be rubbing twigs together in the dirt.
