-

Just shut down the damn company. Maybe we'll have less hipsters and iDiots.
-
Some people had to ruin apple's reputation.
...Jerks...
-
Aww, as much of a PC guy I am its still sad to see a visionary and inventive genius like him go.
-
56? That's pretty young to die to be honest... what'd he die from?
-
Cancer.
-

He got pancreatic cancer in 2004, its a wonder he didn't die 5 years ago.

@Enigma: The products tend to be great, man. People just have a vendetta against the company because of the 'hipster'-ness of the iPods/iPads/iPhones etc. I love the Mac, if I only had enough money to buy one. I'd find it useful for the increased amount of music software, etc. If anything it'd be great if you showed a little respect in this kind of circumstance?
@Noodle: Seems they did pretty well keeping him going that long then o.o

I agree with you. I may get an iphone this weekend.

Aww, as much of a PC guy I am its still sad to see a visionary and inventive genius like him go.
Quoted for truth. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
-
I'm pretty sure Apple will just shut down in a year too. I couldn't be any happier, now it's Linux's turn to rise as the new computer phenomenon. (highly unlikely, but a guy can dream, can't he ?)
@craig
I have an ipod, that's the only good thing they made imo.
Also, there computers are uber expensive, and they only have like 5 gigs of ram.
-

Both of you pretty much sum up my thoughts. (':
And because they're expensive means the company should be shut down? Let's shut down Sony and Microsoft while we're at it 'cos the 360/PS3 are more expensive than a Wii :P
-
Their things are really popular, so Apple will be around for a while.
-
*searches on apple website*
Okay, so the new macbook (cheapest model) is over $1000, yet it only 2.3ghz. lolwut
-
As much as I am a PC person now, Apple will always be in my heart.
-
Is a nice looking, expensive car less desirable than a cheaper, ugly beast? :P
ANYWAY I need sleep, school in 7 hours.
-
Not saying mac is good, but you can't just look at numbers like that.
Otherwise you will be stuck with an E-Machine..... And nobody wants an E-Machine.
-
sh**, in hindsight that's has got to be the best-timed resignation in history
-
Here's (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/apple-co-founder-chairman-steve-jobs-dies-000149459.html) another article about Steve Jobs and his life
-

Yes.

RiP Steve Jobs, you literally made every single piece of computer technology possible if it wasn't for you.

I laughed so hard.
But seriously, this is unbelieveably tragic.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs - Another creative midn blown to the wayside.
-

5 gigs of ram isn't bad, my gaming comp only has 4...
RIP Steve Jobs, great man

I know people on the internet aren't all model citizens but please show some friggen respect for the recently deceased whether you liked him or not.

would you say these words if it was hitler who recently passed away ?
>implying this is 1945

People die every day, why is he so special?
-
Here's something really sad, people extending their condolences to i-****ing-Justine Why, just why is that necessary? She's not related to him, unless you count the copyright-infinging little i in front of her name. ****ing lemmings, they'd walk into the ocean if that false-thumbnail talentless whore told them to. And **** ijustine too, she probably is going to make a Steve Jobs video with adsense enabled within 24 hours.

Didn't the constitution say that "all men are created equal"? If I died right now, nobody would give a sh**. Steve Jobs dies, everyone cares. Everyone talks about how his stealing of scientific inventions to paint white and call it a fruit was pure genius. Jobs gets my respect, but if we took the time to feel sorry for everyone who's ever died, all of us combined wouldn't have the time on our hands. And then they tell Ijustine that they're ing sorry for her. When Bill Gates dies, I might as well go tell Hitler that I'm sorry for his loss. Someone dies every day, Jobs isn't special. Grow some goddamn balls and move on.

Hitler was a great man, a true visionary.
-
Dude, calm down.
"All men are created equal" is false. We are represented equally, but we are not the same.
Saying nobody would care if you died is silly. People would (don't you have a family or something like that?).
Jobs is special to those who appreciate him.
Good day to you, freeziez.

freedom died in this country a long time ago, bro.
@mnb
im..inclined to agree. XD

Hitler did bring Germany out of its depression.

He's famous, so people give a sh**. Deal with it.

I'm just saying that you should generally respect deceased people (especially if he/she did nothing wrong to you)
You wouldn't go into the obituary section of your local newspaper and start drawing devil horns and Adolf mustaches on people's faces.
-
I just saw this in Equestria Daily, and God all those people posting RIP and respect just bothers me to no end.
I don't know him. I won't pretend to, even if everybody in the world tells me I "should". The honest part of me admits that I am very indifferent about this event.
Which leads me to wonder how many people are actually sincere when they post all those RIP and respect.
-
Well I certainly respect him, and the people I know respect him. Maybe it is because we know without him, all of our technology wouldn't be where it is today and we are thankful for that.

If you look closely, you'll see me trolling in there. :trollface
And, yeah, I have just as much respect for him as for everyone else, but will thousands of people update their facebook page about me when I die? Well, maybe if I become famous....
-
Or if you completely revolutionized the electronic and computer hardware and software history.
-
AKA becoming famous.
Also:

And yes, I still in some twisted way, respect Steve Jobs for his accomplishments.

I'm slightly indifferent about this, too. Just as I'm indifferent about Tesla or any of those guys. But that doesn't mean I don't have respect for them. That's pretty much it. It DOES get on my nerves when they extend their indifference towards others (like those on EqD, actually). And bigots who simply spout hate just because his products are associated with hipsters should just off.
Enigma's just a mild case, because he's a kid. But this...
(http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsmhxf7unI1qz82gvo1_500.png)
ing hypocrite.
-
So he died ? Couldn't care less.
Why yes, the iPod WAS a good idea, and Macs are certainly good if you don't care about all the restrictions... but i'm not a Mac guy (even though I'm wearing a Mac Tshirt at the moment, but I just wear it because it's mine really, not for mac), and will probably never be.
Respect for him ? Didn't knew him well enough for respect.
And yes, that massive Internet self righteous uproar amuses me and confuses me as well. I mean, who in their right mind would suddenly feel sympathy for a guy they didn't really know, apart from the probably shining image of him carried by the media ?
-
The guys dead...
You all don't have to be assholes about it. :/
-
RIP, despite the fact I prefer PC, it is a sad day for technology today.

Pacifism be damned when they start doing this.

Can't help but feel like they're joking, that post just sounds like "this is what they're expecting us to say" Fifty bucks says the Phelps family is a no-show

Let's hope so. I think they're one of the few examples of human beings I've seen with absolutely no positive qualities- even other monsters had some degree of intelligence, charm or charisma.
-
Well actually they are very successful trolls, so they must be charismatic enough to annoy people so well, and they must be cunning enough to find the right words, so nope GF :P
-
A sad day for the electronics industry.
At least he copped it at a high, economically, I guess.

They're dead, who gives a crap?
(unless you go all WBC and start picketing their funerals and/or attacking their families)
-
Better point.
-
To be fair, there weren't too many things sad about Steve's death. He was a billionaire, he'd just retired from a huge electronics company, died of natural causes surrounded by family and friends. So I have to wonder why random people off the street are grieving. In hindisght, I didn't know that iJustine a creepy stalker Jobs fangirl, so I guess it's justified for her to cry. But everyone else should really just be indifferent.
-

This. Wesboro are the epitome of trolling. I kinda look up to them.
And my only complaint about the EqD post was that it was not pony related, yet some people were mad at me for saying that. Why?
-
oh and i thought this was pretty lawlzy:

Because when a fandom grows too big, you are about to get every kind of ponies in it.

I'm pretty sure Apple will just shut down in a year too.
Apple has essentially been run by Tim Cook (the current CEO) for the past couple of years. They're not going anywhere, especially not with the massive bank account they have.
I couldn't be any happier, now it's Linux's turn to rise as the new computer phenomenon. (highly unlikely, but a guy can dream, can't he ?)
It's time for an open source platform to take the place of a tech company that spans across various forms of media, computers, phones, and portable media players?
@craig
I have an ipod, that's the only good thing they made imo.
Also, there computers are uber expensive, and they only have like 5 gigs of ram.
What I don't like about Enigma is that he only ever posts in Greek. Facts be damned.
-
Anyone heard of Steve Wozniak?
-
Duh...

ok, you got me on all those. xP
-

Yes. He's a lovely Ewok who rides around on a Segway. His engineering tallent, combined with Steve Jobs' vision for what a computer should be, is what got Apple its name in the early days.
-
Then there's this guy, who contributed far more to the area of computer technology than Jobs ever did, but no major news network even bothered to report his death.

Just saw a "documentary" on Steve Job's life.

I have never seen so many people kiss a dead man's ass so hard in my life.
