RIP Steve Jobs

Just saw an AP notice pop up on, of course, my iPhone. Very sad. Like Apple or not, he was an incredible person.





RIP
 
I haven't copped an Apple product in about 20 yrs, but the Apple IIe (and then the OG Macintosh) definitely defined my early tech development yrs. in grade school/middle school.





I will never forget Oregon Trail on the Apple IIe!
 
r.i.p. mr jobs. i've never bought apple. but if you can make people think the product they hold is superior and develop brand loyalty the way apple has, you've won the marketing game.
 
Damn.


A heartfelt thank you to Jobs for changing modern life in a America and reminding us that art and design can coexist with technology. Will be watching toy story with my kids tonight in his honor. Rest In Peace.
 
I work in the same Victorian house-turned office space in Pal* Alt* as steve j*bs' wife L*rraine. I overheard her in the hallway last week talking to someone that they had stopped treatment completely since he wasn't responding to anything the tried.





RIP to a madman genius!
 
RIP.





Man will always be a legend. Very few people out there could build a company the way he did. Only to get fucked over and have it taken away from him, to then come back after the people almost destroyed the company and then build it back up to what it is now.
 
A titan of the era, few people can claim to have shaped the world as much as he did. It will be really interesting to see how Apple handles the next few months and years.

Respect and rest to this incredible man.





What bums me out here (like having open casket viewing) is that from CNN to WSJ to APPLE.COM to AP all pretty much 'seem' to have had the article, photo or whatever ready to go within 5 mins of the announcement (mixed judgement)...yea it's 2011 but transparent to me at least and just wish it was more organic. I know why this is, but I just want it to be not so calculated if that makes sense.





STFU to myself and just comment on the loss, but.
