EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the RIP celeb thread. Could a mod delete/move this?

I think this deserves to have it's own thread.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I'm sure many do...I know I do.

But I don't think the mods will share that opinion.

^ They dont, and IMO they're wrong. His death deserves it's own thread. It's too big to brush into a cluttered thread.

IMOIMOIMO.

Jobs was a huge innovator to the Milky Way galaxy. I think he deserves his own thread in my opinion.

heard about this a bit ago, sad day for such a great mind. I was never an apple fan but I do have an iphone 4 and I love it, and for that, sleep well great prince.

Not unexpected, but still so sad. A huge loss.

Edited most of my videos in Final Cut Pro - a MAC only program. Damn!

Yeah, Steve Jobs was more than just a celebrity. While I wasn't a fan of Apple and it's overpriced products, there's no denying he was one of greatest innovators we've had in a long while.

He will go down as a true legend. R.I.P.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I'm glad to see none of the "WRONG SECTION" comments.

R.I.P Steve.

RIP Steve

Yeah I was sad to see the one in the celebs forum merged. This death I'm sure will have wide reaching impacts.

R.I.P .

^Eh, IMO he wasn't exactly a celebrity. Well recognized and brilliant, sure, but not exactly a celebrity.

Steve Jobs wasn't just a celebrity - he was an icon who played a large role in defining the times we live in. He will be greatly missed. RIP.

How did he die?

How did he die?

Cancer.

^Eh, IMO he wasn't exactly a celebrity. Well recognized and brilliant, sure, but not exactly a celebrity.

I'd consider him a celebrity, you don't necessarily have to star in a movie or be a sportsman to be a celeb. By definition, all a celebrity is is someone who is well known. Steve Jobs was very well known.

But that's just my opinion.

 

[Spider-Vader]

How did he die?

He had cancer, so I'd assume from that.

RIP Steve Jobs. You truly changed the world.

I'm not a fan of his overpriced products of today but the man is a pioneer/inventor of our time. Not to mention his help in starting PIXAR so for that, I tip my hat to you sir.

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

I don't even own any apple products, but I can still recognize that the man was a visionary and he did change the world. R.I.P.

His life is an amazing story of following your dreams.

This, and this is why I'd agree that this should have it's own thread.

Not an Apple fan in the least bit, but like you said, he's been an innovator.

RIP Steve Jobs.

My condolences to his family and friends.

IMOIMOIMO.

Then all the deaths do. Or is Jobs just more important than anyone else?
