I didnt expect this to happen anytime soon, clearly more was going on behind the scenes than we realised. The tech world has lost a true innovator and visionary, i especialy respect him for how he revolutionised the use of phones.
Will be interesting to see how Apple copes without him now. He must've known his time was nearly up when he resigned, i agree etaab, a lot must have been going on behind the scenes. [ This Message was edited by: Tsepz_GP on 2011-10-06 09:44 ] RIP in peace Steve Jobs...
I'm completely im shock never did I expect he would die so soon I guess Steve Jobs surprised us till the end
Apple will not be the same without him may he rest in eternal peace! RIP Steve.
Steve will live among us with apple's every single creation... Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech, where he addresses his mortality. An inspiring speech, excerpt from Observer.com. "No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." On 2011-10-06 11:02:38, adnansanni wrote: RIP Steve.

The entire speach Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish [ This Message was edited by: laffen on 2011-10-06 11:40 ] The rest of the world,tech geeks and the people left running Apple will have learned so much from Steve Jobs. He has big shoes to fill. But i guess he will inspire them to go on and do better. Even though i am not a big iphone fan Steve Jobs changed everything and was a clever man. God gave him a gift of his talent. I wonder if he will be buried with something made by Apple.
Why does he need to be buried with anything Steve Jobs IS Apple and always will be since he invented the brand and company. I didn't know that he also founder of Pixar Animation Studios.
Pixar has produced Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3 and Cars 2. Pixar started life as a part of George Lucas' Lucasfilm (the people that made Star Wars etc).
Steve Jobs bought it from him some years later and gave it the name Pixar. I never liked apple, but I do respect how what he achieved in making apple the biggest company for electronics, and although I hate apple and their products I admire how they have managed to do so well. Sounds sick to say it, but rivals will be relieved about this news, because they're is a clear link with apples success that can come down to Jobs.
Interestingly the SE facebook has written some nice words about him, "The digital age has lost its leading light, but Steve's innovation and creativity will inspire dreamers and thinkers for generations. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends and to all who were inspired by him." So what are they saying here? Admitting that SE (and other brands) were inspired by the iPhone and that they were the 'leading light'? Are they actually officially the worlds biggest electronics company?? I know they are huge but did not think they were the biggest. I have no idea.
There is something special about men who wore round glasses and another amazing man sums up Steve Jobs life perfectly.... http://i.imgur.com/8Se3R.jpg [ This Message was edited by: julias on 2011-10-06 14:14 ] Yes,John Lennon too he was a legend with round glasses & a brilliant man!! Steve Jobs is now up there in the iclouds  I cannot believe this is the same guy & how much weight he lost & how different he looked. The last photo is sad
[ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2011-10-06 15:21 ] i salute to a great guy who turned the mobile industry into a new path of innovation.i respect steve though im not a fan of iphone.. i hope TIM will try to depict u in ur future ideas to become true
