I thank him for my iPod touch and his technology that made computers possible. Rest in peace middle aged man, cancers a Lovely Woman.

I think Bill Gates will be the big guy with Microsoft once again now. I don't think anyone has such a great mind like Steve had so yeah Apple will probably still go on but not the same Neutral

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Apple has a huge market share or the MP3 player, phone and PC industry, and it's stiffling innovation imo. I've never been a massive Apple fan, and although I've been sorely tempted on a few occasions, there's no way I'd ever fork out £1000 on a basic macbook when I can build a cutting edge desktop for the same price.

It's very sad that Steve's gone though. Apple was practically dead before he took the helm again. I remember my friend buying the first gen iPod when it came out and being a tad jealous (even though my old MP3 player was a lot older and still smaller, his was prettier.... and it had that damned scroll wheel thingy!) He brought style back to an ailing brand.

^^ This right here, I don't care how "OMG awesome!!!" Apple products might be, I refuse to pay that much for one. School, or work later, wants to hand me one, fine, I'll use it and be ok, but I'm not just up and buying one for myself.

It is a loss though, we can only hope that Apple doesn't let the loss derail them completely, as much as I argue with price, they have some really cool stuff.

Poor guy, cancer is hell.

Other than that: Thanks for pushing technology forward. No thanks for being a di** through most of your career.

Im strangely indifferent to his death. Well, life is a bit** and then you die.
