The only comfort I can find is knowing how proud he must of felt of his legacy, for it is truly great. How much people loved him and how much he touched us is obvious in how heartbroken so many are without ever having met him.
He ennobled all of us and he shall not be forgotten.

This is a HUGE loss for Apple, Steve Jobs was their Obi-wan-Kenobi, and visionary for the future products to create, plus a great salesman on top of it. Don't know anyone that can fill his shoes the same way now.
The iPhone4S is ok, but not what Apple needs right now, they really needed that iPhone5 all new design, with larger screen, and other features, and now the death of their founder
Tough times ahead for Apple. I am sure the 4S will still sell like hot cakes, but I can see in a couple years from now, they will decline, with Windows 8 phones being very competitive next year, and also Android-Jellybean.

Honestly I am still getting over this. It's hit me harder than any other celebrity death. He was an amazing man, and he inspired my creative drive, and life philosophy. If not for the great imagination of this great man, and the tools he helped create, I would not have found my love for design, or even music.
My whole childhood would have been very different, I learned to use a Macintosh before I even knew how to walk.
Thank you Steve, we will all miss you.

"But there is one more thing... " will never be heard with such great expectations as before.
Big thanks to Apple for providing me a job, valuable stock options and great multimedia devices.
I am sure you were a key element of that success.

The world may never know a single person who has truly shaped the future of all mankind. He will be forever missed and remembered for his vision, perfection, and the pursuit of things we could never have imagined.
I will never forget...

You have got some issues real issues man
Back to reality, the tech world has lost a talented visionary
Made a new background for my 24 inch... Use it if you like it!
He changed everything for me. My migration from a windows user to the OSX platform in 2006 was the single most important choice I ever made - it shaped my interests, my career, and my passions. The intuition of OSX opened me up to trying things I never dreamed I'd be capable of. You will be very missed.

A great visionary and true leader. His legacy will continue.......towering to the stars.
It really is a great lost.
Rest In Peace Steve

This is how the Disney Company felt after losing Walt. So sad that the world has lost a great man.
Why is this voted down?
Come on guys, Steve had a great sense of humour, he knew his death was coming. He wouldn't want his fans to get offended over a joke. I'm sure he didn't mean malice by it, just trying to lighten the mood. It made me smile and I'm as sad as any other fan that Steve died.

I was just looking at a news photo of people placing flowers at an impromptu memorial outside a Moscow Apple Store.
When Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple back in 1977, the idea that some day ordinary Musocovites would be publicly mourning the passing of an American businessman would have seemed incredible. Thats how much the world has changed, and Steve played a huge role in that transformation. His devices fundamentally changed the way we learn about the world and communicate with each other.
This is a say day, one many of us feared was coming. Let us mourn his passing - but celebrate his life and accomplishments.

Those were all quite unexpected deaths. If you were at all surprised to hear of Steve's passing, you weren't paying very close attention for the past year +.
I came to say my peace. What an amazing inspiration to people from all backgrounds. You changed things Steve.
