Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

#143R.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.
Your inspiration might actually be Steve Wozniak. It was him that did Super Breakout, not Jobs. "Maybe they had an inkling that he'd actually work on Breakout with Wozniak, who they already knew from his low chip PONG. As Allan later said "Jobs never did a lick of engineering in his life. He had me snowed. It took years before I figured out that he was getting Woz to 'come in the back door' and do all the work while…
Geez. I know it's not good to say anything bad about someone who died, but that plus other things he's done makes me think he's a real ----
I hope Woz gets a similar level of recognition and mourning when he passes (decades into the future, hopefully)

#144If you watched the iPhone keynote yesterday, you may have noticed this: http://i.imgur.com/BsIoS.png This shot was shown for about 5 seconds right at the beginning of the recording. Front row, center. Reserved. Empty.
I have this image of Steve watching the keynote on TV from his hospital bed, and then turning to his doctor and saying, “OK, I’m done here.”

#145Sad news about Steve Jobs, but I'm glad he's through the pain he must have been in. RIP
Re: Steve Jobs has passed away.
#146happened way too soon, sure he was sick, but you'd think with all the resources under his disposable he'd be able to hang on for at least a couple of years...as it is it happened almost overnight
He kept working right up to the point where it was no longer physically possible. Almost anybody else would have left their company years ago.

#147Well said by Tim Cook: "No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much." RIP Steve
Re: Steve Jobs has passed away.
#148"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…
My absolute favorite line of that entire speech is the very last, "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." I live by it and will continue to do so. What an iconic brilliant genius the world has lost.

#149Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would have been much more impressive if he'd proven that being rich while alive didn't matter to him. Honestly, how many people care about how much is in their bank account after they die ? Probably not very many. Plenty chase riches while they're alive, however. And good old Steve was no exception.
Steve was rewarded proportionately for his contribution to the world. He (and Apple) changed millions of lives, and indirectly influenced the rest of our lives. A byproduct of his actions were his net worth.
"Steve was rewarded proportionately for his contribution to the world."
Don't even get me started.
