RIP: Apple's co-founder, Steve Jobs

he changed the world in a big way. he is the new generation thomas edison. he was brilliant. that even he was suffering a lot of pain it did not stop him from making and improving his vision. clap clap clap for Steve Jobs, for a JOB well done. my your soul rest in peace and you will be missed. i salute you Mr. Steve Jobs, you are the new generations hero.

So sad, he was so young. I remember seeing pictures of him looking pretty thin and sickly not too long ago. It was either in the checkout line or just one of the news headlines on yahoo's main page. He had four kids. I feel bad for those kids to lose their dad so young.

I had not heard this, but I'm so sorry. Steve Jobs was a hero to many and a good business man, too. I'm not a Apple person, but one doesn't have to be, to mourn this loss.

When I heard about it, I didn't take the news very well. We knew Mr. Jobs was sick, but this was unexpected. But we must thank him for what he has given us. His vision help create industries and rivalries (look at his 'baby' vs Samsumg battling it out). But what he has given us goes a lot further than the iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac. I think some of his best lessons are not the ones with Apple. For example, his fortune came more from Pixar than Apple, and he took almost no salary. Apple was his baby, he almost did this out of love. He raised it, where it grew up, and took care of it like a father. Apple was the outlet that Mr. Jobs created for what was on his mind. And some of his best work came from failures. Remember, he was fired from Apple, and the NeXT company didn't so well, and he never obtained a college degree. And as some of us may have kept up with, not everything Jobs thought of at Apple was a great success. But rather than let it stop him, it fueled his fire. The devices help us communicate better, obtain information in different ways, and help educate us. It was always said that most humans only use 20 percent of their brain. If Mr. Jobs wasn't using all of his brain to create this, we may never know what the other 80 percent would have brought us. Though we see the loss of a great mind, somewhere out there, or down the road, is another person, who may be the next great person with the next great idea. Right now, for all of those who have used some of Steve's inspiration to create, defy, or work harder, I would like to say, Thank You, Mr. Jobs, and may you RIP.

A very sad news. We offer our condolences to the family and friends of Steve Jobs. It was just recently when he left his position as CEO. Not all of us are Apple lovers right but we admire a person who has contributed a lot to modern day technology. Thank you Steve Jobs for all contributions you gave that made Apple a success.

i was like wow myself. i was thinking about getting the new iphone4s but now i know its going to cost more than all of my body parts to buy...i know the real story behind steve jobs on top of everything else

I agree this is sad news and very unexpected. He contributed a lot to the new age of computers and technology. So young too!

He became such an icon that i think he will really be missed. I may not be an Apple user but i've tried the ipad and iphone ( not mine though, my nephew's) and it is amazing just can't afford it lol. But i guess it is time to say goodbye to such a great mind and he left such a legacy.

Yeah, that's too young to die. I think it is because of cancer. This man will always be remembered. May he rest in peace.

I have watched Steve Job on television ( CNN & BBC )and I like his passionate interest in modern technology especially in the mobile phone sector. In life good people hardly live long. This is a man who has used is technology to change our life and he is dying at a tender age of 56. I would have love to see Job live up to 100 years but God disposes and we proposes that is a popular saying.

If Steve Jobs is only an Apple co-founder, then who is the founder of the Apple McKintosh??? for what i know is only Bill Gates is the Founder of Windows OS and all of the Windows softwares and programs, including IBM....

May he rest in peace.... He's a man who will remain in the hearts of Apple technology lovers. My daughter talked about his resignation a few months ago. Then there was already a previous discussion about him maybe that was yesterday... That he will be remembered...

may his soul RIP.... the man who taught us the art of "touch"!!

Yes,Jobs is a creator.He combined the world's lastest technology with the product people need.Others can have the technology,but they cannot know what consumers want.Others can know what consumers want ,but they cannot have the great technology.So,the combination is revolutionary.Thanks for Jobs,so we can have the perfect products.

what is RIP?

indeed a sad news. i am an admirer although i do not have any of the product because they come in costly, but i really admire the brains behind these technical innovations. he had made it big though it is sad that it is likely the cancer that took his life.

That's life. He has money and name but it never saves his health and life. He is a great contributor to Apple co and technology and will always be a part of the company's history. Have a good day

Yes, it happened in a sudden and the news article shocked me at first. It seems so unreal that such a presentable figure who always showed his best to the world is no more. I am humbled to have witnessed the technology sectors most wonderful meccas. Even though he is no more, his eminent tone, charismatic appeal and undeniable success will always remain in peoples minds. My prayers are with Apple's founder.

Indeed the news was a shock.It was only just a few weeks back another news surprised all. It was his resignation as the CEO of Apple. A great man with imagination and practical ability. What to do! A great loss!

I was especially shocked to here this crisis of Steve Jobs. I found this out actually by a posting of ashton Kutcher on facebook. I am horribly sorry for his loss. His family will miss him and his wonderful mind.
