    Just caught this on the news. I suppose that it's not a surprise, pancreatic cancer is almost impossible to survive.

    Whatever one thinks of Jobs, this is a sad day! Too young, too young!

    While we will always associated Steve with Apple, don't forget he also brought Pixar into mainstream moviemaking.

    He was a brilliant man with an incredible vision! He took Apple from the brink of going under and made them into one of the top tech companies ever!

    Thank you Steve for what you created! RIP!
    No excuses!

    i always thought the rich could live forever, unfortunately pancreatic cancer is a widow maker.
    He was definitely the pioneer of the company i despised the most but without him, we'd probably only be on the Iphone 3G

    RIP Jobs
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Very sad day indeed.

    "It seems so shocking but everyone dies at some point, some young, some old. 10/10 die. Those are statistics we can't argue. Makes you really think about what you are doing with your life, what really matters, and what will happen after it..."

    Found this quote...
    In a Stanford commencement speech in 2005, Jobs spoke at length about mortality and its value as a force against complacency.

    "Death is very likely the best invention of life," he said in the speech. "All pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

    Not a big fan of Apple. Yet he was truley a visionary and a great company leader. Even people that didn't admire the company still had respect for him.

    RIP.

    ‎"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." - Steve Jobs, RIP
