Wow. Shows how precious life is.

Cancer didn’t care a wit that he is a multi-billionaire and one of the geniuses of his time.

RIP.

A man who had the ability to craft very useful things for people, from movies to computers to phones, has left us today.

Steve, may your family be comforted by God at this time. Thank you for the legacies left behind.

An offbeat guy, but he was a true visionary who brought immense satisfaction to consumers and created billions of dollars of value. 56 is way too young.

RIP

Somehow I am thinking that the new I Phone “S”, may now have a meaning. “S” for Steve.

Sad

Thomas Edison of our time. He was on fire recently. He should had another 20 years of inventions in him. What a great loss to humanity.

So sad! Steve - rest in peace now, your pain is gone now. Despite what the haters say, you have contributed mightily in a positive way to mankind.
Your work greatly influenced my life, starting in 1977. I still have several early Apple II machines, from SN-311, and fond memories of the personal computer revolution he helped foster.

May Mr. Jobs requiescat in pace.

His vision and hard work transformed the personal computer world and brought us the iPhone and iPod Touch and iTunes. He will be missed.

He was given a brilliant mind and incredible talent. A miracle he was not aborted; I believe God had a hand in that gift of life. God have mercy on his soul. He did a lot of good in this sick, troubled world.

Steve could be a control-freak and horse’s ass, but he did some amazing things and had great vision. I appreciated the fact he could make you dream.

Literally changed the world.

RIP Steve.

The Feds will be along shortly to collect their cut.

Love to post that at DU. See how they feel about the “Death” tax now.
