So misunderstood during his first years at Apple, now loved in the last corners
Happy birthday Mr. Genius!
He was so misunderstood during his first years he build Apple.
The biography about Steve has shown us, how many facets his mind had,
how precise his view of the technological future was and how brilliant his understanding of design, usability and technology was. He was not only a successful CEO in the second half of his life, but he also was a philosopher who inspired a whole generation and maybe also the next.
I wish you and all of us, that heaven exists and you could see what is happening around your genius mind. Apple is stronger than ever and i hope, that your dream of building an enduring company come true for ever.
Happy birthday also MacRumors, which i daily visit.
Greetings from Germany, Berlin.

"I want to put a ding in the universe." - Steve Jobs ...You succeeded. Happy Birthday (wherever you may be now).
Also, happy birthday MacRumors. I can't count the number of hours I've spent on here both looking forward to Steve's next creation, and those that will now follow.

I got my notification in iCal. I have a Steve Jobs contact with all known emails and his birthday. I was a bit sad knowing this was the first birthday he didn't have. Still a shame. After all this time, it still gets to me. Funny how a person I never even had a chance of knowing has impacted my life so much. As I type this on my MacBook, I think of all the things we've been given by his and Apple's vision. I'm happy to give back a Happy Birthday to Steve, and remember his life and legacy. Oh, and Happy Birthday, MacRumors! I'm glad that the sentiments in this thread are more happy and positive. It's nice to read those. 
"To fete what would have been Jobs' 57th birthday, dancers will gyrate to Bob Dylan songs while vegetarian birthday cake is served and black turtlenecks are handed out to hundreds of Apple fans, according to the event's organizers, Brendan McElroy and Seth Rogers."
What? No LSD?

I haven't finished the book, so maybe it's covered there, but wasn't Steve known to be pescatarian, not vegetarian?
Pescatarian = vegetarian + seafood.
Happy Birthday Steve -Prometheus- Jobs & MacRumors, and thank you for everything.
I always thought of Steve's contributions as Promethean.
Yeah, wily intelligence, stole fire & gave it to mortals. That's about right.

If they eat seafood, they aren't vegetarians. And as for the vegan cake, there are as many vegan cake recipes as there are non-vegan, and some truly suck, but some are amazing. As moist and rich as any cholesterol-laden egg and milk cake.
I've been vegan for 17 years and I love it, but I try to avoid the label usually, it's more trouble than it's worth. I prefer to say I eat a "plant based diet".
Contrary to popular belief, Jobs was not vegan, or even vegetarian - but he did eat a mostly plant based diet, FWIW.
I really don't get the dietary labels, I think pecatarian implies you eat only fish, which is really never the case. Vegetarian would imply you only eat plants - which is true only in the case of vegans. I think really for most humans the only two valid things to say would be that you either have an omnivorous or vegetarian diet. I would say I have an omnivorous (leaning vegetarian) anatomy, but a vegetarian diet.
He put off treatment and tried wacky eastern non-treatments instead. Surely not a genius when it comes to putting ones health first. He easily could be alive today and completely fine.
Apparently you don't know much about pancreatic cancer. His chances of being "completely fine" regardless of treatment choice were slim to none.
Probably an exaggeration but they caught it on a whim before it had spread and he threw away that massive advantage that next to no one gets with cancer and screwed himself over. If you want to compare it to normal cases of his cancer he should have died years ago, so you really can't.
Wow!
I have been visiting MacRumors for 9 years... man that makes me feel old. Happy Birthday MacRumors!

Yeh - this whole "happy birthday Steve" idea is rather creepy.
Jobs is gone. The turtlenecked overlord is no longer telling us how to hold our telephones.
Simple memorials in the year of his passing are one thing, but if we're looking at an annual party - some people do need to get a life.
