RIP Steve Jobs

[Brazoo]

I believe this was created years ago as an example of one of the free online services Apple use to offer to people who owned Macs.:

As a Macphile, I was very shocked and saddened to learn of the passage of this man who brought SO much innovation to the world in such a relatively short time span. Plus, he seemed genuinely interested in making that innovation available to everyone, not just a select few. Steve's physical passage from this world will rob us of his next great ideas and innovations, but he did leave us with a firm foundation to stand on and launch from for the next generation. I sincerely hope that the folks he leaves behind at Apple can truly follow in his footsteps and not squander his legacy or his genius on pettiness or greed. To Steve's family and friends, know that he is in a much better place now, no longer suffering and that his vast imagination and will is now completely free to explore this vast universe! Rest well, Mr. Jobs, after a life well-lived and a world made better by your ideas. You were one of the great ones whom we shall surely miss in days yet to come...

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

Wow, what an amazing quote.

Thats just sad and may he rest in peace!

I think he had the same type of Cancer Patrick Swayze had, Pancreatic. Most people who have it don't find out until it's in the late stages. No symptoms of it until it has progressed.

Michael Landon also. Sorry to learn this.

What an amazing life. From Apple to Pixar and back, his work changed the world and made it more beautiful.

The Mego Museum was made on a Mac. Couldn't have done it with him.

Amen brother...amen...

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.

Damn straight.

500 years from now...no one is gonna have a clue who the hell someone like Paris Hilton or Justin Beiber were...but Steve Jobs will be remembered like we now remember Leonardo da Vinci.

RIP Mr Jobs...I thank you for your creativity, innovation...and for making the world just a tad better...I salute you...

He was a true visionary and will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of our time. R.I.P. Mr. Jobs!

Yeah, that's a bad one. One of my father's good friends died of that. By the time he had symptoms it was too late, he was gone a month later.

He didn't quite have the same cancer as Swayze--his was a rare kind of pancreatic cancer that has a bit better prognosis....it's why he lasted 8 years. Most pancreatic cancers get you in 6 to 12 months......

Anyway, sorta hard to deny Mr Jobs his contribution to business and culture. A true visionary. RIP
