    • Meh... He's the modern Edison... thief and exploiter of the masses with stupid gimmicks. Terrible way to die, but in the end... it's.. Meh... whatever. He no doubt affected society, though I feel it was for the negative. No sympathy, but he gets some respect at least for not giving a fuck till the end.

      Ahh, but which is the more brutal => Death or Truth?

      Death is expected => Truth is sometimes hated. We expect to pass through the veil of Death but we can resist the veil of Truth forever.

      And of course not missing the opportunity to damn the messenger... in order to make yourself appear highly intelligent... which is okay I guess, so long as you want to stay stupid and LOOK SMART TO YOUR PEER GROUP... as they busily erect shrines even though they claim to worship no one.

      A special day approaches Mr. Buddha Man 2112 => 10/10/2011. Add the numbers 10 +10 +2 +11, = 33: the age Jesus was when he died. The time quickly approaches for him to pick up where he left off? Yep, except this time he has the Power of God coursing through his veins now an enthroned King commanding legions of angels, each one capable of slaying 185,000 soldiers per night.

      Do the Math people, Do the Math. Your clock is ticking down.

      Whether you approve the messenger or not.

      You're about to join Steve Jobs.

      For future reference Mr. Buddha you might want to dial back on the Insolence Meter a tad. When your beliefs are backed by Truth it isn't needed. All false and/or would-be gods are about to join the Ba'al... which is sort of funny since the reason I am here is from having been HIT BY A 1,000 POUND BALE FOUR TIMES IN 1989.

      Those were the death blows that changed my course. Four licks plus my chest was propelled out & forward at the speed of a rocketsled, then when my knees were driven into the asphalt road surface my direction changed to a "Vector" bringing my chest into the ground. Basically I was given a ride on the end of a cracked whip.

      Satan did me much damage to stop me; iInstead he started my engines.

      Yeah, I know. All about me, blah blah blah the messenger.

      Clocks ticking anyway.

    • Almost as a habit I was about to say "FAKE!" since I've done so to so many Steve Jobs is dead internet rumors in the past. Feels kind of bizarre for it to be true now.

      I agree with you not treatable BY MODERN MEDICINE but I disagree with you that the body itself is not able to fix its own self. It is. The "trick" dear lady is to take so much nutrition the body repairs itself faster than the cancer is trying to kill it.

      Because when you do that several things happen simultaneously. The super-nutritioned body begins over-producing Stem Cells and also the cancer cells being SUPER HUNGRY sop up the anti-oxidants etcetra to the point the cancer cells poison themselves.

      I have called that "Nutrition Flooding" and medical authorites are now using it to stop prostate cancers dead in their tracks, which used to be to men a death sentence much like breast cancer was to women. Killing cancer cells with Chemo and radiation is only HALF THE ANSWER AT BEST.

      Nutrition flooding giving cancer cells an "internal acid bath death" takes it the rest of the track and crosses the finish line. I've only bge writing this on the Internet since late 2006, with a News Release on August 31 2007, and you still don't know who I am. HAHAHA That's called suppression, and also plagiarism.

      That's the American vaunted slime healthcare system practicing Religious Discrimination against Jehovah's Witnesses seeking to hide we JW's know what we're talking about. My accomplishments defeating Cancer far exceeds Steve Jobs... and I should in a real economy giving PROPER CREDIT TO INDEPENDENT INVENTORS I SHOULD BY ALL RIGHTS BE RICHER THAN STEVE JOBS.

      That's why I posted earlier that Steve Jobs was SLAIN and I stand by that judgement of America's doctors. I showed them how to do "Home Chemo" and they fought the knowledge with every super-expensive high-dollar legal team they could put on the field against me, ONE MAN.

      Had I helped Steve Jobs he would still be alive, and you all would not be in major mourning. His death was planned and timed by none other than the one I have been fighting with for decades, the one who stopped all my zero-pollution engine systems that caused you to suffer through the Deepwater Horizon and Fukushima disasters.

      Plus continued deaths from cancers.

      Satan plus his henchmen ~> the members of his Group Political Anti-Christ, "apostles" in men who Satan brought onboard when he copied his brother Jesus since 1914. My many blessings given me, insights from the Almighty God through Jesus, had to be stopped because Satan loves watching people suffer their last remaining gasping breaths and being blown to death from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

      Your time is very short now. Steve Jobs was murdered at this particular time to fulfill a MAJOR PROPHECY few people understand, which I am not at this time comfortable to reveal. He was kept alive a long time when he should have expired LONG AGO. We of humankind are very probably mere days away from Armageddon so I am here telling all this to finish the prophecy of Amos 3 verse 7 => "For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.".

      You have been told. I wish you all the best.

      You've always made some good point, but you haver such a vile demeanor, you even turn open-minded people into skeptics. I have to swim through your unprovoked ugly remarks to find some truth. You'll never win behaving the way that you do man, and that is such a shame because I believe that you're on to something most of the time but you're always acting like a mad scientist like........ Simon-Bar -Sinister !

      Try showing some respect for the memory of Steve Jobs, please.....

    • I am sorry but if Steve wasn't dead would we be praising apple for outsourcing, creating the most expensive product out there, lets just remember this company will keep on doing what it does with impunity Steve Jobs is out of the way now. they can rebrand as bad ass without the soft presence of Mr. Jobs impeding them.

    • What a shame. A true visionary. I became acquainted with Macs for the first time in 1992 and haven't looked back. More expensive, but well worth the extra money.Kind if like driving a Ferrari instead of a Ford.

    • I really feel a loss over this.

      I am amazed at his comeback also, at one time he was down then he fought his way all the way to the top -- and then some.

      We can all agree that he did die ON TOP. Most of us won't be able to say that.

      He also must have worked up until the very last moment, he didn't step aside until a few weeks ago. What does that say about Steve Jobs. He must have known he only had months/weeks to live. Instead of enjoying his billions in his last days, he wanted to secure the future of his company.

      Well done Steve.

      I hope you evolve on the next plane.

    • He put a human face on a large corporation. As a corporation they were not perfect by a long shot, but they seemed to have a focus on something other than simple greed. It was Steve Jobs that kept that focus by staying involved with the company up to the end. There are few like him.

      To use his own words, Steve was insanely great.

      RIP, Steve - and thank you!

    • Apple is luxury for about 80% of Earth's population or more. They will never have the chance to use an iPod or a Mac. So if you are in the 20% consider yourself extremelly f@cking lucky

    • well this is sad but if you're worried about apple products one has nothing to worry unless a factory of overworked underpaid Chinese factory workers suddenly die out from something like say suicide. Things could get worse for sales if say some poverty stricken miners in the Democratic republic of Congo didn't live in a war between rebel factions to mine for precious metals so they can feed their families, but that's ok most have children if one of the miners does something odd like lose an arm (literally)...

      No Kidding!!! I watched Mom go through 5 of them and 20+ years of treatments. After she passed on I got to wondering hmm, I wonder if I shouldn't be given some kind of cancer screening, check my blood and so on. So I contacted her two specialists and asked them to do that and they EACH ONE SAID TO ME no, your general doctor has to see a reason first then we will check you.

      If you have Money in America you Live, if not you fill a coffee can fast. I was right. Four years passed and I had pre-cancerous lumps inside my nostril. They were not exactly across from each other so WHENEVER I INHALED AND EXHALED a ripple effect would vibrate me. It was very distressing 24 hours a day, awake or asleep.

      I was being waterboarded with air instead of water.

      It went on like that for three straight years. I went to 5 Ear Nose and Throat specialists and they all patted me on the back saying it's alright, there there, we know best. The last one I pointed out to him how I was having many skin projections growing up into the air stream reducing air flow even more.

      His answer? Oh, those? They are just skin flaps and not anything to be concerned about. My brain was being deprived of oxygen. In fact my lips were bluish denoting hypoxia, as well underneath my fingernails turning a deathly Blue also. But of course me being a Stupid Americano they had to shout me down.

      That was why I was forced to struggle against cancers for a few more years using ONLY NUTRITION PRODUCTS, and in the end I was able to figure 4+ ways to stop malignancies.

      Steve Jobs didn't die of pancreatic cancer he died from stupid doctors too High & Mighty to give him nutrition products; so Steve Jobs lies slain before us today.

    • The world has lost a visionary. Steve Jobs was a man with a burning desire to improve and link humans with technology, and to create a quality of life not previously attained in this universe. May he rest in peace.

    • With all the protest on Wall Street, I think it's fitting that the passing of the leader of one of the richest companies in the world has reminded us all of the right way to run a corporation. I know it's cliche, but if all corporations were run like Apple, there would be nothing to demonstrate about.

      Apple as a Corporation never lived up to what Jobs could do for it, that was one of the reasons he got fired. The proprietary nature of what they refused to share with others hurt the company a lot more than it profited.

      A much better model for a what a corporation can be is ILM since George Lucas never held onto nay of the filmaking technology he developed, he spread it around to everyone else and offered his services to profit all filmmakers

      I agree they made mistakes, but they were never out to make money at all costs and to screw the little guy. To the contrary, they were about making technology cool, making it for everyone to use and easier, and taking it as far as they could go. The driving force behind this company was never greed, it was the love of discovery and making things better. THAT is what makes them so popular and, ironically, what makes them rich.

      Keep in mind that Steve Jobs CAME BACK, and Apple prospered like never before. Also remember that Steve Jobs was also behind NEXT Computer, which folded into Apple and helped make them better, and PIXAR. When faced with lemons, he made lemonade. And who really remembers Sculley, Spindler and Amelio anyway? Steve Jobs' return to Apple brought them to new heights and briefly the richest company in the world, passing Exxon Mobile for a day or two this Summer. While the George Lucas example is good, Apple is equally as good an example, especially when you also consider Steve Wosniak.

      This brings to mind Charles Schulz, who also passed away shortly after retiring from his life's work which was loved by many.

    • Do not worry, Steve Job's brain has been preserved for the latest in Apple technology, the ICyborg. The ICyborg will allow you to have your brain outfitted into a cybernetic body with connection to social networking and you can communicate with the power of AT & T.

      Joking aside, its very sad to see an innovator die at such an early age.

      That is certainy true since here's what Bill Gates had to say about it ""I'm truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs' death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work.

      Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives.

      The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.

      For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely. "

      Interesting, I thought about Gates very soon after I heard of SJ's death, wondered what he would have to say about his greatest competitor's passing, and yet, it seems there was also a good deal of mutual respect.

      Personally, I always thought the "Despicable Me" character of Vector was modeled after Bill Gates....

      Really? Fought Cancer then died so they gave him a Nobel? Hmm. I've been stopping cancers since 2004 => instructions on my website www.newpath4.com exactrly how to stop malignancies. And yet no awards imagine that.

      I must not be mastering kissing up like you recognize.

      Yeah, I was stopping cancers and making engines to defeat Entropy at the same time. Plus destroyed thermodynamic garbage that stops everybody else.
