R.I.P Steve Jobs. One of the greatest innovators of this generation. The way we look at technology today is because of him whether its the smartphone or the personal computer or digital music, he single handedly revolutionized modern technology

Steve Jobs' "mothership" campus will be his tribute and his burial will be in the center...

It all makes sense now...
 
The world has lost a great person in his death. He was quite possibly the most influential man to have ever lived; I thank you Mr Jobs for the inspiration and joy you brought both myself, and the world. No one person has ever caused so many jaw-dropping moments. Rest in peace Sir, my thoughts are with your family and friends.
 
56 years young, yet the man accomplished more in 56 years than most of us could accomplish in 156.

A huge loss to technology, but I'm thankfully for all he's created.

RIP Mr. Jobs.
 
Im 50 years of age, three years an apple convert, started with an iphone and now have every product apple make. Their products have fundamentally changed how myself and my family conduct our lives. Mostly down to you Steve. God bless you and my thoughts are with your family and fantastic work colleagues at this time. Rest assured we will all continue to grow the family you started
 
I'm a lot sadder then I thought I would be about this.

I always hoped that he would beat this illness.

RIP Steve, today I grieve for the loss of a truly great human being.
 
thank you

i have never felt technologically adequate, from being a 5 year old kid who had trouble adjusting his skates to a teen ager finding the carburetor on his vw beetle, but years ago when i jumped into the abyss and bought an apple computer i followed the printed page inside the box explaining the four steps to become a "user."
1. take computer out of box. 2. plug into the wall. 3. plug in keyboard (picture provided) 4. turn on computer.
from that day forward i have considered myself technologically capable.
thank you Steve Jobs and may you rest in peace, though based on your past, there will not be much rest but energized times for you and those in your new existence
 
R.I.P Steve. I did not always agree with some of his practices but it is undeniable that he was an amazing person and he changed the world....
 
Thanks, Steve....you will be missed.

Cancer is the definition of evil.....I'd give my life one-hundred times over to find a cure.
 
I came here to express my sorrow, but now I don't know how to put it. I can't express my sympathy for Mr Jobs' friends and family enough, nor can I say how sad and gutted I feel by this news. As others have said, I think we all knew that this day would come, and we've watched it come closer, but that doesn't make it any easier to hear. I think a lot of tears will be shed tonight.

I have looked up to Mr Jobs as a great role-model, for creativity and drive, and for the amazing way in which he managed to keep working through the most terrible of illnesses. I will always think of him as a shining example of a fantastic work-ethic and success, and I will fight never to lose the lessons he has taught me.

I know some people will think I sound like a fanboy. Maybe in a way I am. But I can honestly say that Apple products have changed my life, and Mr Jobs example has and will change me, and for that I cannot thank him enough. But that thanks is too late, and I will always regret that.

I hope his family know, and that he knew, how much he was loved and admired around the world, and that he will never be forgotten. My prayers are with them all, and he is in God's memory and free from pain now.

RIP Steve Jobs
 
What a damn shame....what a loss...and he was still very young, too. Just terrible news.
 
Thank you Steve

I'm sitting here in my university library just shocked. I want to scream so loud yet i would be only echoing emotions that i know other people are experiencing. you touched so many lives. Thank you steve, Today truly marks a sad day. Rest in peace steve jobs, rest in peace.
 
so very sad to lose someone who didn't waste his gifts...didn't rest on his laurels. It was pretty clear when he resigned that it was close...but like many of you...I hoped he would beat it and come back...RIP
 
Its weird. I knew this day would come soon enough when he stepped down as Apple CEO. I just didn't know I'd feel this bummed. I feel like I've lost a close friend :(
 
Thank you Mr. Jobs for everything you have contributed to the World. Mr prayers go out to your family and friends.
 
Proof the best die young. Add Steve to the list of true genius's like Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Kobain, Amy Winehouse, JFK. The list goes on.
 
My Idol. My Hero. A Part of my Life.

I was born in 1979 and sat down on a mac 128k first time in 1984.
Apples products influenced me all my life, right to the decision to work as a graphics designer and finally to work at apple.

I never had any idols, but if i had to choose the person who influenced my life in such a great deal it was him.

The world has lost a visionary like no other.

Rest in Peace.

This man changed the way we live

To a true visionary, thank you for all your imagination, vision and dedication to making our lives truly better! I just had to get on here and add my 2 cents, what a great great loss to all humanity. You will live on in your technology and in all of us! thank you and God Bless.
