RIP Steve. Was never a fan of Apple products but there's no denying he was a hell of an innovator and a hell of a businessman.

Wow, cant believe that! 56 yrs old?

Loved that movie pirates of Silicon Valley. Me and my best frend in high school that studied electronics together were a younger version of Steve J and Steve W....so I identify alot with the motivations behind Apple...and the brotherhood relationship with the competition and clashing views. My senior year in High School I got to attend a big trade school that had all the latest electronic innovations, and one kid was allowed to borrow an Apple computer, forgot what model it was maybe the 2E, and he loaded up Choplifter written by Broderbund software, used this fancy Joystick with big buttons to play, and we we all speechless in the classroom - clearly this was way ahead of anything out there in 1982 at the time with the colors , graphics and sound. My big dream was toown an Amiga computer later, but I put the Apple so out of reach in my mind, I never thought about it much after that, probably cos the price tag was in the thousands if I remember right.

I thought this was going to be a joke thread, lol. This was quite unexpected, but I just hate that people are now saying "OHHES HE CHANGED THE WORLD", it really pisses me off. He made Mac, iPod and iPhone but it didn't change the world. TBH I think Apple's products are pretty shit.

I think that Apple sold his soul to the devil when it started to use x86-based processors. It was only for money, because powerPC processors were better and faster than x86 ones.

RIP, Steve! it was funny, without money, in 1984...

Let's not forget that the Apple II back in, I think, 1977? Was one of the great innovations of the era. Probably the most advanced personal computer of its time (certainly way more so than the Altair 8800 of a year or two earlier!) and a big step forward.

Of course once IBM got into the game and the earliest PC came out with the first version of MS-DOS, the future was set!

I bet you believe yourself, don't you lol

He indeed did help change the world to an extent. But he obviously didn't have his apple a day, now did he? And when it came to dying, he didn't have an app for that Still a genius

"Truly a staple of his sucess, is the fact that most people found out about his death on a device he invented".

It's never too soon!

I hate how people praise him as if he made some new generation, besides the only people I see using Apples products are pathetic emotional teenagers having their periods and crying on it and using facebook.

Yes, Apple seemed to be highly advanced with the hardware side, but not many
people were writing sw for that platform. If you watch the POSV movie, they are launching new hardware all the time. SW is something that Bill Gates / MS
want to get into, but Jobs is scared that he will steal the Apple technology, when Gates is really a software guy and could care less about the hardware, hes only interested in exploiting the hardware for his software. Jobs get mad at him for stealing the technology he pioneered, but anyone with enough bucks could buy an apple and reverse engineer it. Sounds like something IBM would do, MS was too small at the time to achieve this..

If Bill Gates was Professor Moriarty, Steve Jobs was Sherlock Holmes.... and all things considered, he fn owned plenty of market's outside home computing.

Steve Jobs = Silicon Valley pioneer.

Steve, the man.

He will be missed, insanely greatly.

Seriously, i got EMO about this.

I was there back in '84, bought the 256k mac, (also bought "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") for it.

He lived his life full throttle, and no one told him how to dream!


Thank You Steve

You seem to be on your period and you're emotional. Why be a hater? He did what he did. Give him props.
