As a computer geek, Steve Jobs' death really saddens me. The guy was a visionary and a genius...and his death has left a void in the tech world.

I just hope Apple keeps on churning out great products and doesn't end up bankrupt like the last time Steve Jobs left...Apple tends to keep its competitors on their toes.

May God bless his soul.

a magnanimous loss...i remember doing a few cases studies on Apple, and inevitably one will read up on Steve Job's life; how we started the company at just 21 years old after dropping out of univ. All the ups and downs the company faced, before its upward swing in mid 1990s. Look to where Apple Corp is today.

today --- "I-sad"


RIP



p.s. i hate to think of profiting of someone's untimely death, but isn't this a good time to invest in Apple shares?

not really, it was good time to invest in Apple shares three years ago when the market crashed. Currently the Apple shares are five times that price. At this point it's wait and watch kind of thing. Apple shares are trading at 380 dollars. Quiet a gamble jumping in now not knowing which direction the company is headed.

no the only people who REALLY made a 'killing' are those who invested in early-mid 1990s

forget 3 years ago. Though everything is relative

This is not going to please most here but I believe this must be said by someone. So I am to take the proverbial brickbats.

According to a recent scientific study posted on NY Times, Apple users' brain actually get some kind of pleasure sensation upon using Apple products, especially the iPhone. The theories about a quasi-religious 'cult' are not without merit. Steve Jobs was an icon--but also over-rated, under-scrutinized, given much free press via media, a marketing genius whose marketing was helped by millions of 'fans' who freely market expensive products without being asked to. These are the bitter truths. Apple's ascendancy does not hurt my career at all. But I simply despise idols and cults.

Indeed Jobs was an icon and his relatively young death is a great loss to the world of technology. But idolizing him is not the right thing to do. What did he achieve? Yes, many patents etc but so do the Microsofts and Googles of this world. As far as I know there are more patents for Microsoft than for Apple.

Jobs was a hero to Apple's fan-club--a fan club known for its almost blind love for anything Apple. When do you see people lining up to buy the next car or the next tv set? Why for Apple? I don't think their products are that great especially when factor in the pricing. My wife--who is not very 'technical' has a $400 Toshiba at home running Vista. She is happy with that for two years. Not a single virus infection. But Apple and its fan's propaganda would make you believe otherwise. Why would my wife need to buy an Apple product for twice or thrice the price?

In the end, Jobs may be known for not only some great, but expensive products, but also of creating the largest mass of a quasi-religious cult of Apple fanbois.

Steve Jobs, 56, died today. May his soul rest in peace.

People know a lot about the brilliance of Steve Jobs, but what is generally not known is that the genius who revolutionized several major industries was the son of a Syrian Muslim, according to ABC.

Jobs was born to Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne Schieble when they were both students at University of Wisconsin at Madison. After birth, Schieble was separated from Jandalli and forced to put Steve up for adoption by her parents. Jandalli, 80, now works as a vice-president at a casino in Reno, Nev. Prior to his current job, Jandalli was a professor of political science. Jandalli also has a daughter Mona Simpson who is a novelist and a professor at University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).

Jandalli never met his biological son Steve Jobs since he was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Paul Reinhold Jobs was a a high-school drop-out who worked as a machinist. Paul was born November 27, 1922 in Wisconsin, and died on died March 5, 1993. Steve's adoptive mother Clara Hagopian Jobs was born August 23, 1924 in New Jersey. She died November 7, 1986.

Steve's adoptive parents lived at 2066 Crist Drive, Los Altos, CA where Apple was born on April 1, 1976 in the garage. And the rest is history.

Steve Jobs on death:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
