Steve Jobs has died

[Slushy]

In all seriousness, I'll just share one of my favorite quotes of his:

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

There have been some incredibly nice, touching things written here about Mr. Jobs. I'm sure he would be really flattered. Well done everyone. Well done Mr. Jobs. Well done.

I liked this ...

"3 Apples changed the world: 1 seduced Eve, 1 fell on Newton & 1 was offered to the world half bitten by Steve Jobs."

 

[BizarroAids]

Heh, I like that.

Makes me want to rewatch "Pirates of Silicon Valley."

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Cancer.

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

Of what kind?

 

[tzarinna]

Fare Thee Well, Mr. Jobs. You rocked my world. There's no denying I'm an Apple fangirl to the end. I still have my first Mac from the early 2000's.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I don't think he really died. I think they took him back home to his home planet.

You inspired by Men In Black? Or is that some old joke I don't know of?

 

[terry78]

Yeah, it was a good ride. Hopefully the rest of Apple rises to the occasion to continue the innovation and not just slightly upgrade the same **** every few months.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Maybe a little. I think he was just too smart to really be human.

Anyone else find it funny that, to announce the Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting at the funeral, they tweeted with an iPhone?

You would think, a better way to protest their negative opinions of Steve Jobs, would be to boycott the products he made.

 

[Raiden]

I think many years later, people will talk about Steve Jobs like they did about Thomas Edison and other great inventors in our history.

 

[terry78]

I know I *****ed in another thread about no one really being innovative like they were back in the day, but he was the one man that was.

 

[moviedoors]

Goddamnit. **** cancer and **** alternative medicine. 56 is way to young.

 

[TDK Joker]

Of what kind?

I believe it was pancreatic. I may be wrong though.

Why are these people protesting his funeral? Wait, let me guess. More media coverage. They make me sick.

 

[terry78]

They say he didn't give any glory to God.

 

[TDK Joker]

And yet protesting someone's funeral, which would be one of the saddest days of the passed's family and friends is totally praising God.

 

[Raiden]

They say he didn't give any glory to God.

Anyone who believes this is the reason why they're picketing his memorial service, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that I want to sell you.

For how long?

 

[TDK Joker]

For how long?

I think it was diagnosed 2004

 

[The Apocalypse]

For how long?

A couple of years. I think they had it under control but then he just lost the battle. Pretty sad stuff. I hear that's the worst form of cancer too. RIP Steve Jobs.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

I hope this isn't in poor taste, but doesn't anyone find it convenient that literally ONE DAY before Jobs dies Apple introduces basically AI for iPhone?

All I'm saying is if Jobs was half the genius that he was (and chances are he is) you know that he discovered a way to digitally record his brainwave patterns and store them on a server, thereby effectively making him immortal.

Apple will never confirm this though.

Taiwan's New Media Animation came up with a surprisingly moving tribute for Steve Jobs, considering the fact that they usually produce sarcastical videos mocking celebrities:
