Steve Jobs has died.

[Ltsurge]

This. While I am fully aware that this is death and no laughing matter, to say that you wouldn't be able to live without your iPod (yes, people are saying this) is just plain stupid. Steve Jobs was an innovative genius and his inventions have shaped the technological world, but I'm pretty sure that you could live without listening to Lil Wayne every 5 minutes of the day.

Posting this on a Dell computer with Microsoft, and I have never owned a single Apple product before in my life.

Same... but the way he has influenced the entire computer and technology market with his apple products is phenomenal. In this way, he has changed the world; I didn't mean I couldn't survive without apple if that's what you are saying.

He died because of pancreatic cancer........ RIP

this is really sad cuz he was one of my main idols and people i look up to. now that he's unable to react with this world and is just unavailable to anyone is absolutely depressing. i hope everyone of us will be able to thank him and remember him for everything he's ever given the world.

Without him, the world wouldn't be the same.

Disagree, yes the tech world wouldn't be the same, but not the entire world. He didn't end world hunger. He didn't change Africa, and definitely not North Korea, you don't hear about people on their iPhones there.

ok... perhaps (he changed the world) as I know it

I definitely know what you are trying to say..

but I'm pretty sure those who are in North Korea or Africa would at least know of an ipod and what it does...

I think I'll say he changed the developed world as we know it

Uhh... I don't think so. Most people in that country are so ill-informed that they don't even know that man has been on the moon.

Citation? I believe they are mostly only mis-informed about politics.

I can't really provide any written material, but there was a documentary by Lisa Ling in which they went to North Korea to help people with eye problems such as cataracts, and they smuggled in cameras to show how terrible the country really is.

True... I read a time article that said something like that... Still the second part of my post made sense... I think

Steve had been ill for a while.

This post is not being typed on an Apple computer, btw.

In many ways Apple had a worse "lock in" policy than Microsoft. And Thom, I'd guess you would be quite a fanatic linux user right??

PS! Typed on an XP pc (irrelevant ...)

On the train on my android phone, I looked at the 5 people around me. 3 are using ipods/iphones, 1 has white headphones in, and white used to be solely Apple so I'll assume.

Not really. I just use it because it works.

 

[mr6768]

Kir always uses whatever others don't !

 

[antoineccantin]

Weird, me too. What kind of HP are you using?

HP Pavillion

I'd have respect for him now if I'd had much for him when he lived. Honestly how many people know about Woz? I bet he wont get 1% of the coverage when he dies that Jobs did. Why? Cause he decided to teach elementary kids about computers I guess. I wonder who was happier in life?

 

[d4m4s74]

isn't it ironic Steve Jobs died of PC?

 

[Jostle]

Not really.

XP also works. I tried linux (red hat and others) many times but it always failed to install all my hardware properly. That was maybe 10 yrs ago ;-)
I'm sure it's better now

OSX also works.
