Steve Jobs has Passed Away!? (UPDATED)

[TacticalAssassin1]

Funny how this is the only thread you can get away with posting just: RIP!
I guess forum rules die whenever somebody famous does too.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, I never was into Apple, and never owned an iPhone or a Mac or any other stuff created by it, but still, he was able to make one helluva company, and made quite a lot of money.
Rest in Peace, dude.

 

[Ithera]

No wonder he stepped down from being the top dog. Thank you for the music Mr Jobs (and the kick-ass innovation).

 

[Darth_Dude]

Yeah, many other people passed away too. Just because he is famous doesn't mean I should care for him more than anyone else.

Oh look, it's this topic again...

Yes, yes it is.

I suppose you could argue that he should be remembered because of his achievements, as opposed to remembering the talentless hacks that haven't done anything for the world.

RIP Steve, I wasn't an apple fan or a big user of their products, but respect someone who had a technological ambition and accomplished it.

Now we only have to get Bobby and the world will be peaceful and evil will once again be banished to the underworld.

What ever people might think Steve Jobs has changed the world. For better or worse no one can say but technology has taken a giant leap theses past 10 years much thanks to the introduction of iMac, iPod, MacBook and of course the iPhone. And we would not have Pixar either so thank you Steve Jobs.

Great visionary with some faults, witch only means he was human.

Even though he was just a human and thousands upon thousands of people die daily, but Steve Jobs was also a well known public person so from me and many more "iRest In iPeace"

No matter how you feel about apple, the man pioneered the home computer, graphical user interface, and basically monopolized the MP3 Player, Music and Tablet markets. I salute you Mr. Jobs. Rest in Peace.

Wait, so now we give people respect for attempting to circumvent antitrust laws?
When did this happen?
Why was I not informed?

I DEMAND ANSWERS!

Yes.
Last Wednesday.
And we didn't think you'd care so much.

I just meant Apple just dominates the market in those things. It may not be a good thing necessarily, but it's still an impressive feat.

According to my Local News Channel. They say that Steve Jobs Passed away only a few minutes before this post. Can anyone find an internet source to confirm or disprove this?

As you all know, Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple Corporation. The Possibility of his death leaves me wondering what will happen to Apple as a whole.

Edit: Thanks for the help guys. http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/ Apple itself has confirmed that Steve Jobs has indeed Passed away. It is a sad day for all Apple Users.

RIP Steve Jobs.

UPDATE: To make matters far, far worse. The detested Westboro Baptist Church has announced that they will be Picketting Steve Jobs' Funeral. This crosses a sacred line for me. You never, NEVER, insult or desecrate a man on the same day that he died.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Seriously..... people would actually........

 

[bluegate]

I guess that the customers weren't the only ones that didn't take the iPhone4s announcement very well..

Anyway, RIP and all that stuff

 

[EmzOLV]

Very sad day RIP Steve

I still have my very first iPods and Mini iPods to this very day.
I'd have a Macbook too if I could afford it.

So many inspirational quotes to use too! Maybe I should heed the advice now

And screw anyone who boycotts ANY funeral.

 

[thatcanadianguy]

apparently he was working on one last product before he pass away.

the iDied

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I'm sorry but, why in the fucking hell is the WBC protesting/picketting Steve Jobs's funeral?!? What could they possibly have agianst the man?

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Wow... for real? :O
Not a fan of Apple myself, but RIP Stevie.

The real tragedy is that when the people die who actually invented the things that Jobs is credited with producing, very few of us will notice their passing. They invented them because they thought they were cool and beneficial ideas, not because they thought they would make a lot of money.

He was a very shrewd businessman. The hero worship is depressing, because the ones who truly deserve it will never receive it.

Ow how right you are. You have my respect sir.

 

[jaketaz]

Well Lelouch, I hope you get a profile badge for this. I think I'll wait 'til someone famous dies and create a post saying "No way this happened... thoughts, Escapists?"

Obviously if you would have waited two seconds there would be a million news posts concerning Steve Jobs, way to take advantage though. Crafty.

Didnt you know that dying is now considered a sin by the Westboro Baptist Church.

Well for starters, the gay community almost exclusively uses apple products; since they're so closely tied to the hipsters in a lot of areas.

"So, today at Apple, we'd like to show you our latest creation. We think it's going to revolutionize, not just how we interact with each other, but the very way we all live our lives. We call it: iDead."

...I'm a terrible, terrible person.

Don't worry, you won't be lonely in hell.

I laughed.

No matter how annoying apple is as a company and no matter how much of a gorram troll he could be at times, there's no denying his contribution to technology. RIP.

Now, time to get back to thinking up some terribly poor taste jokes...
