    Default RIP Steve Jobs

    http://www.npr.org/2011/10/05/123826...obs-dies-at-56

    "Steve Jobs — the man who brought us the iPhone, the iPod and the iMac — has died. The co-founder of Apple was 56 years old. Jobs had been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for years."

    This is sad for anyone involved with technology from the most casual to the extreme levels, because without his hand in innovating technology we would not have the computer technology we have today.

    I believe it will last. I doubt Steve Jobs left them with no ideas to work on.

    As much as I hate Apple and their products, I gotta give the man something.

    He made people love and accept technology by creating products that appeal to idiots because they're easy to use even though they're overpriced.

    xBlazex, Apple was the company that pioneered a GUI, or Graphical User Interface for their home computers. Prior to that, everything was run off a text-based command-line prompt. With your horrible English, I doubt you'd be able to properly function if home computer operating systems were still text-based today. So show some goddamn mother****ing respect.

    Please.

    Don't really care, never will. Sure a good man died. Props for his work but I honestly find it hard to go all "touchy-feely".

    OT
    The guy was smart, and helped a lot to the tech industry early on. Over the recent years though He hasn't done a whole lot in my eyes, he helped introduced people to gadgets, but at the same time selling them overpriced garbage and making the Coffee-House-Hipster that much worse.

    Still, rest in peace bro.
