    You know, I've been pleasantly surprised at the posts here, I expected a lot more disrespectful posts. Yours isn't even disrespectful so much, its more of just incorrect. Even if you hate him and hate Apple, his work and vision has influenced almost every interaction people have with their computers and smartphones. You don't think the computers most people use and the smartphones a lot of people use are beneficial to people?

    A sad day indeed. The world has lost a visionary, a brilliant man whose work had a profound impact on various industries and many people's lives. Rest in peace Steve, you will be missed.

    I've never been a fan of Apple, or their closed architecture design, but I have always had the utmost respect for Steve Jobs (even though I frequently made jokes about him). Steve, you were one of the most innovative and valuable leaders of our technology community, and your passing is going to hit the technology world very hard for many years to come. You were a brilliant mind, a wonderful philanthropist, and we wouldn't be where we are today without your hard work, and determination. Rest in peace. :(

    Really? Whilst most people (on this forum) don't like Apple and Steve Jobs, we still had respect for the guy, even when he was alive

    Didn't Steve just step down from any real position of power with Apple? So in very short order, Steve step's down, then dies, damn! Talk about a terrible blow to the technology world, for Steve was a super innovator. I wonder what will happen with Apple and possibly any ideas that Steve had for the company and it's products before his passing. I can only hope that Apple currently has some very skilled and competent and very innovative running the show, for Steve's shoes will be very hard to fill.

    R.I.P. Mr. Jobs

    Steve Jobs, though I had have never owned an Apple product, I believe that you have left an indelible mark on the world with your revolutionary and visionary products that set the standards for others to follow. You will always be remembered. Rest in Peace

    Today is a very sad day I think. Not personally a fan of Apple and I don't own any products, but like many have said, a brilliant mind has passed away.

    RIP Mr Jobs!

    Thank you Steve for revolutionising my music and phone experiences with the iPod and iPhone, you were a true genius at design and marketing.

    I thought it was a bit strange that he stepped down a few weeks before the 4S launch... maybe that would explain Tim Cook's borefest a couple of days ago

    In my opinion I say he had a premonition/vision of his death and stepped down beforehand.

    I have to agree. I think Steve had a feeling his time was coming, and wanted to be sure everything was ready. After all, he's the one that recommended Tim to take over. Who knows what would have happened had he just plopped out while still the head hancho. I really do think he was preparing. Some people just know when their time is near.

    Then again, maybe he went to his oncologists and they told him after running tests that he maybe shouldn't take out any yearly magazine subscriptions...but then again maybe Steve was a scryer.

    Occam's Razor or mystical prophet, who ya got?
