Goodbye SJ. You touched the entire world with your relentless pursuit of perfection and creativity.
You will be missed. Greatly.

In his words,
"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
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."

I could not believe my eyes when I read the headline - I wish it weren't true. Rest in Peace, Steve. You may be gone, but never forgotten. You were an amazing person who contributed immensely to the world in ways few could even dream of. We are forever grateful and lucky to have had and continue to experience your contributions in the form of all things Apple.
Cheers, Steve.
Cheers, Steve.
The chosen one who restored balance in the force.
Steve Jobs.
To me, he was the chosen one who restored balance in the force. A real Jedi. The Neo of the matrix
My heart is broken, R.I.P. my friend. Hope to see you again.
One love

As just posted to Apple, via email:
Along with several generations of beneficiaries, I would like to extend my condolences to Steve's family and to the Apple family he leaves to carry on.
I have had the joy to be included as one of the hundreds of thousands that make up the legion of Apple App developers, but in the late 70's I can point with pride to my involvement in selling Apple compatible software through the first mail order software distribution channel "The American Software Club" and to my active relationship with the Apple "Connect, Inc" in assisting with the development of early vertical market networking services, such as PsychNet.
Apple was always an open door to good ideas!
Over the decades I have watched Steve see a future no one else saw; design what no one else had designed, build what no one else could build and sell more than any one thought possible.
And oh yes, just one more thing... Thanks.

Gone too soon.
You were my hero. Thank you for showing us how to live a very full and thoughtful life. We love you and will miss you dearly.
Our prayers are with your family and friends who are grieving as only those close to you can be right now. Our thoughts are with the rest of us who are saddened even though we didn't even know you.
RIP

Why do all the great people leave so soon?
I feel I've known you through all your great products. I'm profoundly saddened.

So saddened by this news. My sympathies to family, friends and co-workers, and to all the world for losing such a brilliant mind too soon.
Mods, please remove the nastiness from this thread. They have all of MacRumors to spread their lack of class... Let's keep this thread for those who mourn this loss.

Thanks for everything, Steve. I'm going home to write a piece of music on my beautiful, amazing iMac, that will sound for all the world like a real orchestra. Never would have been possible without you.
Cheers, mate. You will be sorely missed.

I saw this posted on Facebook, and thought it was fitting here.
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." -Steve Jobs.
Once again, I am in such disbelief...
