As much as I didn't like Apple or their products I did respect the man. He'll be missed.

He knew this was coming and his stepping down from the helm of Apple pissed alot of people off and scared the stockholders...can you image the selloff that would have happened had he still been at the helm?

He will definitely be missed, he was a tech genius.

Terribly sad. He put a good fight against cancer for quite a few years. He accomplished so much and he'll really be missed.

"Your
time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be
trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's
thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own
inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary." ~Steve Jobs

Despite not liking his recent crap (iPhone, iPad, iTune, iMymomisfat, iUselessstuff, etc...), I was there when he started with Apple, and he's definitely one of the leading persona which made home computing like it exists today possible.

Much respect to Mr Jobs, RIP to him, but his suffering is over now... so my thoughts go mostly to his family, who are the ones left and enduring this loss now.
