Just read this on twitter.

Yeah, I got an Associated Press breaking news alert about it on my Iphone. Ironic.

[Brazoo]

Wow - even though he's been very ill for a while I still feel a little surprised.

[sauce]

WHAT?!

RIP Steve Jobs
You made your mark on the Earth

I was locked in research on All Things iPhone when I saw this thread. . . .

still shocked

[SeattleEd]

WOW!! We are shocked here at work.

[Brazoo]

He's that incredible mix of genuine innovator and genuine icon to me - I have to admit, it's a weird feeling.

I honestly think that he maybe one of the few people in our lifetime that history really singles out and remembers - you know, 'that guy from the computer age' - the way that Henry Ford is remembered now by high school students.

knew he wasnt in the best of health but very suprised.
he has certainly left his mark on our culture

[toys2cool]

that sucks, rip Steve

[cjefferys]

Sorry to say that I could see it coming, but it was still a bit of a shock to read the headlines. He was an incredible innovator. RIP Steve.

[Nostalgiabuff]

wow, i mean we knew he was ill and his stepping down frmo CEO was a good indicator how sick he was, but this still comes as a shock. RIP, he was truly an innovator

[Johnny]

That's a real shame.
Incredible visionary.
A great loss for sure.

RIP Steve.

[Mawni]

I'm really bummed about this.

One of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes:

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?" -- The line he used to lure John Sculley away from Pepsi to be Apple's CEO, according to Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, by John Sculley and John Byrne

Just found out about this. I guess the fact that he stepped down should have been an indicator that things were much worse than anyone imagined. R.I.P.
