Steve Jobs Dead at 56

All the money in the world can't fix you when you get cancer.

He was a genius and his inventions, and legacy, will live on LONG past his date of death.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

Sort of reminds me of the lines.....

No money could save him
So he laid down and he died


Brilliant guy. Too bad he had to go so soon.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

Awww man :(
the guy was a genius!
Ironically the CEO MVP who earned.. only a penny a year.
He was a genius and he had even rarer - Taste.
Thus Apple products.

Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

RIP. sorry to hear that he passed away so young.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

What an impact he had in those 56 years though. I want to say RIP, but I believe God wants his network made to perform better ;)
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

That man is leaving quite legacy behind him, RIP to him.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

This is really sad. I wasn't expecting it as soon as this.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

Not unexpected, but tragic nonetheless. I know about six weeks ago when he issued that resignation statement that the end was near. Such a brilliant mind, such a magnificent legacy. He will be sorely missed.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

This is sad news RIP Steve.:(
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

RIP Steve. You had a long battle and did many great things with your life.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

I kind of had an inkling he was not well. It wasn't like him to step down unless it was critical. After two liver transplants, it seemed his time was up. Very unfortunate, he was a brilliant guy who turned a dwindling company into the the richest in the world. It seems that being rich was not his driving force... it was more the success of his visions that made him passionate.

Yes tragic. I never owned an Apple product, but he was one of my few heroes. Brilliant, Tasteful, Driven.
And yes, when he left his Creation 6 weeks ago you knew it was dire.

Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

I'm not a big fan of Apple products, but the guy was definitely an innovator and had a brilliant mind for marketing. RIP Steve.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

What a great loss to our society. Very sorry to hear he is no longer with us.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

iSad.......
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

This is sad, but he lived a great live. He also knew he was going to die, and I hope he spent his final days surrounded by his family and everything he loved.

Especially by those who loved him. So sorry for his family, particularly kid #1.

And all that
beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th'
inevitable hour:-
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave.

Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

This is very sad, he was a genius, and ran his company extremely well. He will be sorely missed.
 
Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

Yes, his legacy of child labor will live on:

Will child labour claims stop you buying Apple?
An audit of Apple's suppliers has found all sort of transgressions. But will we ever take notice of the real reasons that our cheap electronics are so inexpensive?

Was your iPod built on the back of child labour? That's something everyone should be wondering after Apple said an audit of factories highlighted numerous failures at factories that supply it - and other companies - with electronics.

The report, which is posted online, lists a litany of failures - including several instances of 15-year-olds being employed by the unnamed suppliers, nearly two-thirds of factories failing to pay workers properly, long hours and poor environmental and safety credentials. The company, not surprisingly, says it wants to "eliminate" these violations.

You can take several positions on the affair: that it's reprehensible that Apple should ever work with companies that treat employees so badly, that it's positive that an audit had picked up such transgressions, that Apple has to really up its game and make changes.

Re: Steve Jobs Dead at 56: MSNBC

Yes, his legacy of child labor will live on:

That's not his legacy. That's the tech industry's legacy. It just becomes easier to tag big companies to it, particularly one.
