I think we need eat an delicious apple today in memory of Steve Jobs.

#312I never met Steve. I even never got into Silicon Valley or US, Being a non American I could only touch and feel Steve by using his products.
It is easy to love role models but damn difficult to follow them, Today I promise myself that I'll try to follow lessons taught by Steve Jobs. Thank you Sir for giving human side to technology.

> He stood down from Apple less than 2 months ago, I wonder if he had any idea how close he was cutting it. Of course he did. I think he held onto this thing until the very last second. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual resignation wasn't a long-ago prepared statement sitting in his lawyer's drawer for years. End-stage liver disease also means a rapid mental decline, so I'm assuming they triggered the resignation…
That's really sad to think about. I hope he had the chance to appreciate the iPhone announcement yesterday, even though he couldn't make it.
As morbid as this sounds, he probably died yesterday morning - the close timing to the iPhone event suggests they held off on announcing his death so as not to overshadow the product announcement.
I have seen a few patients with end-stage liver disease during their last days and I have to say they don't recognize their surroundings nor are they capable of reflecting on their own state. And this is a good thing probably. At times like these, it helps me to remember that lives are not defined by their endings, they are defined by how they have been lived.

If you run out of ideas, you start to help the world in the easiest way - by giving away your money. Jobs hadn't run out of ideas though.
Wait a minute, are you really putting a negative spin on someone giving away their billions to charity?
They're Apple fanboys, what do you expect. Next they'll start quoting Ayn Rand.
Thankfully Steve himself had far superior cognitive capacity.

#316In the face of all that he has achieved in his short life, the thing that saddens me most is he won't get to see all the cool technologies and gizmos we'll have in the future. He laid the ground work for a large part of this future, it's so sad that he won't be there to witness (or shape) it.

#317RIP Steve Jobs. He's been a great inspiration for me. Making tech simply work in the hands of human beings.
Think different.

Re: Steve Jobs has passed away.
#320"I want to put a ding in the universe." Perhaps his biggest ding was inspiring so many of us to pursue our own dings. R.I.P.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it was dent. "Do[n't] you want to make a dent in the universe?"
It was "ding" according to most sources that come up in Google
