When news broke about his passing, I started putting together a small archive of stories about him. I continue to update it when I come across new stuff. http://www.hausmag.com/steve-jobs.html Miss you, Steve.

He was some kind of a man.
My mom sometimes talks about how she felt when John Lennon died, and I always sort of scoffed at the notion of being overwhelmed by the death of a celebrity stranger. I understood what she meant when Steve Jobs died - I was really overwhelmed, I think because I derived such a big part of my life, livelihood, and identity from iOS over the last 3-4 years.

Minefold (YC W12) launched 3 hours before Steve Jobs died and got, uh, 23 upvotes[1] before disappearing into oblivion. [1] http://cl.ly/image/371P0B3j3g3H
Haha, I remember this. Worst launch day ever.
The publisher pulled all advertising and all copies were hidden at the back of book shops as a mark of respect / so as not to be seen to be trying to profit from such an event / out of general decency.
Pretty much killed it.

RIP Steve Jobs
That's when I had my flag option taken away by mods, because I flagged all of these except for the top one.
Thank you mods! Though I suspect that was an automatic script detecting your egregious over-flagging.
