    The man certainly was a driving force. RIP
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    My wife told me this news from reading it on her iPhone. I was on my iPad at the time and quickly brought up the headlines.

    He certainly helped change the world, RIP.

    Among many headlines I thought this was one of the better ones: iSad

    Sources reveal that the late Steve Jobs wished to be buried in a metal coffin wrapped in a rubber protective case with a glass top that will shatter and have to be replaced periodically until the new model comes out. (Yeah, I know... Too soon.)

    RIP Steve Jobs. Respect.

    But what will it be called?

    I hope he wrote down anything that was in his mind to give back Apple Inc. so they could be able to Rock the World in the future.

    I think Apple will be fine without Jobs. He's certainly a big loss, and there will be no direct replacement for him, but they'll be fine. The groundwork has been laid, as long as the company stays on course all they really have to do is execute on those ideas and they'll be fine.

    Steve Jobs. Regardless of how one feels about Apple, it's business and it's products...no one can deny that you had an significant impact on the way we communicate in this high tech world. You will be missed.
