Wow - sad news.
He was innovative, that has to be said about him.
All other possible stuff that others might say additionally, should be kept for a time in the future.

RIP Steve.

I hope he rests in peace, his way of thinking revolutionized the way we all use our personal electronics. Goes to show your your health is your wealth.

apple should rename a device after him, his marketing was the main reason everyone bought i-whatevers.

no jobs, no iphone5, win win for android.!

He was ill for many years but got back to work anyway.
It was on the cards for him but he still ran the company up until near the end of his life.
So he was a dead man walking but did what he wanted to near the end.

Stinicker

Sad day, a great man and he built up the biggest, greatest and most valuable company in the world that was not in the Oil business.

RIP

Stheno

RIP may his family find all the comfort they need at this time.

My first introduction to computers was a mac many years ago, Steve Jobs transformed how we use/think of technology.

I hope his passing was peaceful and pain free.

Tesco Massacre

Never understood some people's militant loyalty to Apple and its products, but nevertheless, RIP.

56 is no age to go.

Captain Chaos

That was very quick after him only stepping down as CEO only a few weeks ago.

Teclo

RIP

A geek who was not a geek.

Axe Rake

He looked very frail in late August. RIP

He only stepped down as CEO in late August. Brave man to carry on as long as he did when he knew he was dying.

I suppose it was expected he was not a well man RIP Steve Jobs

R.I.P. Steve Jobs.

Never really got into Apple products, but I could see myself using them in the future.

meoklmrk91

I have to say I am very saddened by this news. A true innovator of our time. It was scary how brilliantly Apple under his direction took over first the tech world and then the rest of it.

Steve jobs will be cited for years to come on how to run a company. He will live on in the exceptional products which he delivered every year in the keynote RIP Steve, gone but far from forgotten.

naysayer

Very sad. His innovation in developing and popularising new technologies was unrivalled.

You got that right, very low recovery rates compared to other forms.

Notorious97

I didnt expect to hear he died so soon, i know he waant well at all, wow big shock, i love ipods and my iphone, great products to me, thankful i have one because of people like him making these advances in technology! His keynote speeches always attracted my attention, just his sheer excitment showing off a new product was a great quality in him showing his confidence in his companys products.

RIP huge loss for technology, too soon, way too soon
