"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." Steve Jobs 2005 RIP

A really remarkable sort of guy. Someone that had a vision for business and life that was unique and inspiring. My prayers are with his family and friends.

Wow. He started Apple, Pixar, and NeXt. Two home runs and a dud. He helped create the desktop computer world we now have, and he helped destroy it via popularizing mobile computing. He totally changed the way the cellphone industry works by treating the carriers as commodities and the phones as the main event, and rocked the media world with iTunes. He turned Apple from a corpse to the #2 company in the USA. He also prodded Disney to dump Eisner by threatening to stop their relationship with Pixar unless there was a management change. I doubt I'd like the guy if I had met him, but he sure made his mark on the world.

Cool that people here are remembering Steve. Changed the modern world so many times, in so many ways.

"He also prodded Disney to dump Eisner" Really. Now that's something I could almost care about. T^T

I, knowing like everybody else he would die SOMEtime soon, didn't really give it much thought. But I was on a conference call with 6 people in Dewey Square tonight of whom most were using his products (cept me and one other Dude doing Androids). And ya know, it occurred to me when I had to tell em (I'm the only one who had the luxury of heat and a TV. HE REALLY NAILED IT. And I hope to god the poor guy got a moment or two to realize in the past few weeks just what the products and concepts he delivered have to do with what is going on in the streets right now.. One of the things I have to do on my way into town to see a client, is to pick up a package of 10 IPad batteries to bring down to the protesters at Dewey Square. I've never even owned one of his products and I find myself up to my elbows in the guy's work (although that goddamned life-sucking BITCH of an ex-wife made her living off them 8-) ). I felt a sadness I really didn't expect to upon hearing he was gone

One of the great American Entrepreneurs.

Cancer doesn't care about wealth or fame. He will be missed, but at least his suffering is over.

RIP Steve Jobs. America's Greatest Failure quote: Jobs failed better than anyone else in Silicon Valley, maybe better than anyone in corporate America. By that I mean Jobs did what only the greatest entrepreneurs can do: learn from their failures. I don’t mean learn from their mistakes. I mean learn from their abject, humiliating, bonehead, epic fails.

I think Amanda Knox just got knocked off the cover of next week's People Magazine. She is the new Farrah Fawcett.

As a development platform it had no equal and it's NeXTSTEP OS was the foundation that became Mac OS X. Large amounts parts of that code live on in current versions of Mac OS and was even used in the iPhone.

Kana -> RE: Rest In Peace Steve Jobs (10/5/2011 11:27:50 PM)
Are you kidding? Just because you have a belief system doesn't mean that others don't have a right to have their own. And express them. Whether or not you agree with their personal beliefs doesn't mean it's acceptable behavior to make snide comments when others are expressing freaking condolences. That's just shows poor manners and really is acting kinda boorish. (edited to add that with that said, I'm bowing out of this commentary. My principle reason for saying something was that I thought it was undignified to derail a condolences/appreciation type thread so I won't be the one to do that)
