Bill Gates must be over the moon right about now. R.i.p. Jobsy. Take it from a person who hated apple, yet owned a lot of stuff made by them, I doubt anyone will rival his innovative mind.
Hoss.
I think that now we will finally be able to see how big a presence Jobs truly had within Apple. I predict we will either see another big Apple personality, or we will not really see anything amazing.

Right now Apple is probably wishing they had not built themselves in to a cult of personality. Or perhaps they plan to make him in to some kind of martyr figurehead?

That is way too harsh isn't it? Traditionally we have allowed threads like this just out of respect at the very least...


Sidenote: this topic is getting a LOT of attention on /b/ and /g/

Fee says: We now have Off-Topic, which already has a thread to pay respects. I have the utmost respect for Steve Jobs and what he has contributed to his industry. However, that is no reason to use this board for a purpose it was not designed for when you have a perfect alternative (Off-Topic).

Its a shame he died so young, especially of cancer.
Apple should go fine for a while until they stop using his ideas, cos they just make the iPad crap at first then put add ons which they could of done at the start just to get more $$$$ out of you. R.I.P Stevie
RIP Stevie

I know that Apple was a big company, but what do you remember most from your childhood: Apple Co. or Disney and Pixar?

Of course, i am more grateful for Apple computers... i have a mac myself. I just thought that should be brought up.
