Steve Jobs just passed away.

I find it interesting that there is a thread about Steve Jobs passing, to me it shows just how many people respected what he had accomplished.

Sternjaeger:
This was a nice thread to start, but I think you should have known this was just going to be another flame war on this forum. Very little respect is shown to anyone here, living or dead.

Well I guess you can jump the organ transplant line and "Buy" a liver, but not so with a pancreas. Even money has its limitations. Horrible disease, and horrible way to die, but not getting any adoration from me, or at least any more sympathy than anyone else who has passed away.

He made popular electronics for people who enjoy overspending.

Bullpoop, my friend. He made my wife, not comfortable at all with PC's, browsing the news on the internet and reading emails for the first time. Now she never quits her iPad.

Actually I never liked much the philosophy behind the iGadget things as it is definitely a completely closed universe and not open (one reason why I don't have anything with the fruit logo on it). But one has to recognize a genious in his domain and for me iSteve was surely one. So hats off and tribute to an innovative and creative spirit now gone and gone with him other great ideas that he might have had had he just lived longer.

PS: I just love the proposal of grave tomb inscription "iDied". I am sure Jobs would have loved that too.
