I didn't cry, but I rarely cry for people. I think it's kind of stupid to cry over his death or anyone's death if they aren't someone you actually knew or cared deeply for(more than just him being the Co-ceo of Apple). Cornflake explained it best.

I will assume that you are not being intentionally provocative simply to elicit a reaction. The only way anyone could criticize Steve Jobs (based on all the interviews I know of) is that he was a demanding boss with a temper. Anyone working for Jobs had the option to quit. I suspect that few did.

Jobs' through his companies helped revive the music industry when he created the iTunes store. Recording artists are glad Jobs made this contribution. Millions of people who use Apple products and enjoy watching Pixar films are glad that he helped make those companies succeed. Even those who don't use Apple products benefited through other products that copied that innovation.


technological advancement is all very well and good but it never, never ever comes before humans. yet that is exactly where jobs placed them. he got foxconn to manufacture his stuff because its cheap labour, like a $1.18 dollars an hour cheap. then there are the working conditions at foxconn. . also i want to know why his employees had to sighn non disclosure clauses in their contracts- surely not all of them had knowledge that could have damaged his buisiness(besides working conditions).

read this if you doubt that jobs was a piece of work: http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/09/ ... onics.html

I felt really sad when I found out.
I remember just sitting on the sofa for about 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it. My family couldn't either. :(

Sorry to say that "better" never applies to this form of cancer.

According to experts, Jobs' was an uphill medical battle. "He not only had cancer, he was battling the immune suppression after the liver transplant," Dr. Timothy Donahue of the UCLA Center for Pancreatic Disease in Los Angeles, who had not treated Jobs, told MSNBC.com. He noted that most patients who receive liver transplants survive about two years after the surgery.

No. I have no idea who he was and I never cry at the deaths of people I don't know.
