Just 56 years old. Big loss for the tech industry and maybe most of the population. Makes you really reexamine your life.....

Really sad, he was a special person.

Steve Williams · Oct 5, 2011

I was posting this at the same time. The world has lost a true icon

I just saw it come across the news. It's sad, but not unexpected given his health issues. We will see how Apple with carry on without his vision.

I'll forever remember my 512+

First computer ever used!

Man was a genius at name branding!

He'll be truly missed.

Sure Apple stock will take a hit tomorrow

Sad news indeed and I was not an Apple user. RIP Steve, thanks for all of the contributions, you will be missed.

A huge loss for business, at least for the few that can hear the lesson of his life. Technology was Jobs' product. His business, his success, was an uncompromising devotion to the customer experience.

A huge loss for the world. And I am pretty certain a Spectral owner at one point, until he sold them and focused on the iPod - or something like that...

The full text of the Commencement speech Steve Jobs gave at Stanford in 2005 is really poignant and honest particularly when he talks about death and life. I have been an Apple user since the Apple II and Apple (and Pixar) and Jobs really reflect the best of what America is and can be.

For his speech see here:

I read an interesting article in Macworld today about how Apple would fare when Jobs was gone!!! I believe Apple will be just fine. There are no guarantees that Apple would not have hit a bump in the road (with Job still around) being in the technology business. So that may still happen.

Steve hand picked and groomed the new CEO and they have in place Apple University to teach the culture. No guarantees they won't screw it up but my bet is that they will be OK --- I'm a big fan and user - not a stock holder.

Steve's products have vastly changed and improved many aspects of my life from communicating, to listening to music.
I was a Luddite/technophobe 10 years ago, and now...we'll I'm typing this...
RIP

Totally agree, one of the tech giants and will be missed by many, not just close friends and family.

R.I.P. Steve.

* And by your simplicity as a human being you left us a lot...

_____________________

I'm crying inside as he was so young (exactly my age), and I luv him for how he simply dressed casually in public, and also because he was not taking himself for someone else like so many others do.

He was trying to bring the computer world into human harmony.
We should all continue the path toward that goal so we can ALL live in a better world, without starvation and wars... ...towards Peace all over the entire World, our planet to us ALL.
It goes way beyond our own perception...

*** Communication is key, and the Messages are the ultimate Life's conclusion.
Good to have your full life in your pocket, another to have the right messages in there...

Next; iSave, a portable device for saving lives... ...Then iPeace...
{I should have worked with Steve.}

He was a great man.

“This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.”—Steve Jobs

Yes have seen that pic

Way back when, I was trying to arrange an interview with Jobs via David Wilson. Unfortunately never came to fruition but would have been cool had it
