No this isn't a joke either.. don't like Mac's and most apple stuff personally, but man this guy really helped electronics a long way.

Huge loss. He was truly someone who inspired me. The tech industry will definitely not be the same without him.

I don't think you can even make a book as to how he contributed to society. His legacy is set as one of the greatest innovators this country (and the world for that matter) has ever seen. I know he's had cancer for some time but still didn't expect it so soon, prayers and condolences to his family.

R.I.P. The loss of someone who changed the world is always a big moment. With big moments come immaturity it seems now. I am neither an apple fanboy nor pc, but some of those certain people who are are making it VERRRRY clear why they're sitting behind a computer screen 24/7. (Not talking about anyone on here btw, facebook shit.)

People everywhere are posting disrespectful shit everywhere. For example;
Spoiler:
 


And plenty more but I'll respect peoples privacy. The thing that fired me up tonight is the lack of respect. I dont know what it's like down there, but it makes me sick to my stomach that people are making humor of a person passing away. A mother has lost a son. A wife has lost a husband. Children have lost a father. Show some fucking respect.

The lack of respect in this generation of people is terribly sad, and it seems on this side of the globe, its the worst. Makes you seriously wonder sometimes how people can think, do or say such mundane things, and never consider what damage it truly does to some people. It's like the stupid crap I've seen in the past hours about "Oh, looks like the android (verizon smart phone) won the battle" or some shit like that. It's just frustrating to see people even be able tot think like that, not in just this situation, but a lot of others like it.

Steve Jobs wasn't a saint, perfect or anything of the sort, he was a pioneer and a true entrepreneur, he left the world a better place then when he found it and thats about the most you could ask of any man.

Sucks to see a guy that made a big impact on our lives with all the technology is gone. It's really weird that he died this late afternoon/evening when we were talking about him stepping down from Apple in my Current Events & World Affairs class like 4-5 hours before they announced his death.

The man was a true visionary and an excellent marketer. He invented things that people didn't know they would need, and made them need it. He changed the face of computer technology. The impact this man had on history was huge, and whether or not you did use his products, there is no doubting he even affected the progression of others you might use. He's had cancer for 8 years, which is incredible in itself, since the survival rate for the type he had is usually not longer than 1. It may not be incredibly shocking but it is still huge. Who knows where Apple goes from here.

RIP Steve Jobs.

The Westboro Baptist Church can go burn. Actually, literally. I'd set their church on fire. Along with everyone inside. They are absolute monsters.

I can't believe Christians are so bad. Not all of them obviously, but Christianity is supposed to be a loving, accepting community, Baptist and Methodist (ect), doesn't matter your beliefs. Last I checked, God created everything. I don't see why people go to protest funerals, especially of those who served our country to protect us all because that soldier was gay. I mean, really? God loves everybody, not just the "good Christians", who are straight and read the bible daily.

I hate those people. It's flat out wrong to do that.

The Westboro Baptist church is not a christian church .... it is a cult.

some of the stuff being put on Facebook is sooo disrespectful. People have been uploading troll pictures that are not even funny, just fucked up and disrespectful. Prayers going out to the Jobs family. The man was definitely the Thomas Edison of our generation.
