 I know very little about Apple, but I do think he was  :viking: to have stayed alive and active for seven years with his health problems.

Have to admit. I knew little about him until his health problems.

Sad though.

 Yeah, 56 is too young to die.


 Sorry for my redundant thread, I didn't see the older one.  :duh:

Seriously, I work with computers for a living, and even I never heard of him until a few weeks ago when it was mentioned here that he got cancer ...

I don't understand. I don't understand why people cry when someone they don't know dies.
I get that he was a great man, but I don't get why people who did not know him personally are upset.
Is it because he won't make apple things anymore?

 I am not crying over his death, but I do feel a little sadness that he has died so young.


 I figure his illness and death remind some people of similar tragedies in their own families, so they identify with him.

I personally don't feel much with regards to his death. But I can understand it's a sad event for the people who know him and love him.

It's because I have lots of good memories about Macs from when I was little, and I know that his vision was an important part of Apple and it's the truth that it won't be the same without him.

i just dont feel about death period. my uncle is currently dieing of cancer [dont know what kind] and i have not talked to him at all. seen him on facebook. sent him the ocasional IM. but never a response back. truth be told, i am more concerned about my dad who has depression and how he will deal with it than my uncle who is now not even going to make it to X-MAS. in my mind and in the imortal words from the game oblivion "death comes to us all, we know not the day nor the hour. in this, i am blessed" {king knows when hes going to die}

I said earlier that I kind of felt bad. But now, I think I have to agree with Rage.

I will quote someone from another forum.

Quote from: acosn

The man was a fool with absolutely no aptitude for how technology works (he looked at the insides of one of the older apple computers and declared that it looked hideous) and nearly sank apple.


A decade later technology had reached a point where those sorts of things didn't matter, and he made a successful marketing campaign off lying to customers repeatedly till they started believing it, selling old technology at a premium, and then purposely designing it to fail, critically, early so that he could bullshit people further about how his laptops run quietly. And I'm not even mentioning the sheer impossibility of upgrading your hardware.

When we live in a world where there's virtually no such thing as a machine that runs silently I don't see why computers should be any different, especially when a laptop on average lasts two years as-is.

In terms of being an absolute business man he's brilliant, but he's absolutely disgusting as a human being. I didn't like him when he was alive, and I won't miss him now that he's 6 feet under.


Well said. This is why Steve Jobs doesn't deserve your empathy, folks.

I really don't give a fuck about what he was as a person. Tell me anyone died of cancer and I am gonna say it is sad. Why? Because cancer is a fucking horrid disease. I do not "value" his life or death as much as anyone else,s but I have seen how cancer fucks with people, and it is not the type of thing to wish on an enemy. To have it hit anyone is terrible.
Not crying over it or gonna have a day of mourning but I sure as hell won't say "Fuck you Steve jobs you deserved that horrible, wasting, debilitating disease. Serves you right because of your efforts with your fucking job."
If anyone can not see this, I sure as hell won't bother explaining it.
