So much for apple. Like him or not, he was the driving force behind just about every major apple product for the last decade, and the sole reason apple emerged from the clone days.

Apple confirmed.

Couldn't hold on any longer after yesterday's announcement. Gave up the fight. RIP Steve.

Poor fellow. Condolences to his family.

He bravely and successfully fought pancreatic cancer for years. Even the best of us can't fight forever. This saddens me. He was a great man.

Though I was never a fan of Apple, I'm STILL very sorry to see Steve Jobs die at such a young age after suffering like he no doubt did.
My condolences to those who knew him personally.

Now now, without Woz Apple wouldn't be either.

Don't forget Jobs was fired from Apple at one point.

Ars Technica has a good piece on him.

They already have products approved by Jobs ready to be realesed for the next few years.
That's what they do.They have the iPad 3 ready before they launch the 1, that's how they sale.

Now now, without Woz Apple wouldn't be either.

Don't forget Jobs was fired from Apple at one point.

And because he came back was the only reason there still IS an apple.

 

[IndyGunner]

Hes also been a minimal part of the company for the past year and "retired" a few months ago.

And they also disappointed with no iPhone5 release

I dislike apple's pricing structures and how proprietary everything is. Can't help but respect Jobs from an entrepreneurial standpoint though

A great visionary. RIP
