#113Walter Isascson had better be prepared for the amount of books he is about to sell - http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jobs-Walter-Isaacson/dp/14516485... A more 'perfect' PR stunt, the official autobiographer of Steve Jobs couldn't ask for...before you start downvoting me for a seemingly insensitive comment, I don't mean that is perfect that he died. Absolutely not. I am dealing with the loss just like any other tech-lovi…
It's a bit insensitive to use your referral code for that amazon link if you ask me. Here's a non-affiliate link for everyone interested: http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jobs-Walter-Isaacson/dp/14516485...
There's no referral code in the link. The `ref` parameter in Amazon URLs is something internal. Amazon referral IDs get passed in the `tag` parameter.

#114What Apple is going to be missing without Steve Jobs isn't creative talent or even someone capable of saying 'no.' It's going to be missing someone who has the absolute credibility to say it. Anyone can be a tyrant. If Steve Jobs was a dictator, it was because people thought he had the right to be.
A very well earned right and credibility indeed. Very few turnaround stories in the tech industry that are of the magniture of Apple's.

#115My thoughts go out to his family and close friends. We all will miss Steve but few of us really knew him, his family and friends must be devastated this evening. Stay strong.

#116He worked up until he barely had a month left. That's passion for you.
yeah, that's what's so crazy to me. Others would take a trip around the world or something. He was very devoted. Makes me think of that Dylan Thomas poem:
"do not go gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light. "

#117A very respectable tribute, right down to the img src. http://images.apple.com/home/images/t_hero.png
"hero" is a standard term for that kind of image size and position in print and on the web.

#118"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have s…
"Quem Metui Moritura"
AEneid, iv. 604.
What need have I to fear--so soon to die? Let me work on, not watch and wait in dread: What will it matter, when that I am dead That they bore hate or love that near me lie? 'Tis but a lifetime, and the end is nigh At best or worst. Let me lift up my head And firmly, as with inner courage, tread Mine own appointed way on mandates high. Pain could but bring from all its evil store, The close of pain: hate's venom could but kill; Repulse, defeat, desertion, could no more, Let me have lived my life, not cowered until The unhindered and unchastened hour was here. So soon--what is there now for me to fear?
-- Edward Rowland Sill

#119R.I.P Steve Jobs. Thank you for Super Breakout (game) and everything else!
And that's how I got inspired to get into computer science, learn programming, to build games like that or do cool stuff with computers.

#120Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs will be remembered as the greatest inventor and entrepreneur of our era.
No, he won't. And I think you know that if you stop and think about it. Bill or Larry or Sam or people like that fit that category. However, Steve Jobs might have been the only one who gave a %!&#% about his products: what they did, how they worked and what people could do with them.
