He was battling pancreatic cancer, and lost the war. Whether we love or hate Apple products, there is no denying the technology inspired by his creations.
You will be missed sir.

Did you see my fb post? That's my real feelings on this whole thing.... it might put his death into perspective. (aka,R.I.P. to all the men we've lost overseas this month as well).
I am glad you posted that. I don't feel like our nation's heroes get the honor they deserve after death. I actually ranted about this a few months ago after a different celebrity had died and it was all over twitter and facebook and not one mention of any of the soldiers. But after my rant, a few good friends of mine who are active duty pointed a couple things out to me. Soldiers/Marines/Sailors/Air Men would rather not be so exalted after they lay down their life. Many of them, and their families, would rather keep it quiet. But yes, RIP to them as well. I find it difficult to even fall asleep at night without first saying a prayer for these men and women.
Whereas I understand that may not be what they would have wanted, I still recognize the need to acknowledge them for their service. It's not in me to ignore their sacrifice. I sincerely pray for them everyday.
R.I.P to a great man while im no apple fanboy there is no denying the impact the apple brand has had on modern day technology everyone is affected by apple in someway..i use an ipad in my workplace to take bookings...much easier than an old book and im with you classic we musnt forget also the men and women who sacrifice their lives everyday so that we can live in peace
Thanks for embracing the spirit Nightmare. You rock!
:) haha thanks. and yeah we need to support these men and women i have a physical condition which stops me from serving as im not eligiable <----dunno how to spell it. otherwise i would be serving myself im only 19 but i really wanted to serve for australia
*eligible
;)
Your desire to serve without the ability could inspire others on the brink of service. Keep that in mind.... XO

Ok, I'm actually really sad right now. :(
Cheer up Classic, there's too much happiness in the world for you to be sad.
You obviously know me a little by now...I'm usually annoyingly cheerful. It wasn't just the sadness of Mr. Jobs' passing. Please look at my fb status or my sharenator comment below.
Ahh, I see what you mean now.. I will give you more hugs to cheer you up.
Thanks, sugar. As you know, my Dad, mom, sister, and friends are in the service. It breaks my heart when I read the obituaries every day. Just to give people my perspective, my dad was awarded the Silver Star and two Bronze Stars for his service. That is one of the second highest honors and two of the fourth highest honors our nations awards. That makes him number one in my book.... ;)
Wow, Silver star? That's really good ^_^
He's a decorated war veteran who was gone 11 years of my life overseas, and I still couldn't have picked a better dad.
Wow, that's really weird since it says that I posted it 54 minutes ago and she posted 48 minutes ago. Check it. It may not matter, but facts are facts.
Also, this is what actually mattered to me today:
R.I.P. Steve Jobs. And Petty Officer 1st Class (SEAL) Caleb A. Nelson, 26, of Omaha, Neb., First Sgt. Billy J. Siercks, 32, of Velda Village, Mo., Spc. James A. Butz, 21, of Porter, Ind., died Sept. 28, Staff Sgt. Nicholas A. Sprovtsoff, 28, of Davison, Mich., assigned to 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Sgt. Christopher Diaz, 27, of Albuquerque, N.M., assigned to Headquarters Battalion, and so many other Marines lost this month. (Here's a little perspective...but every death deserves mourning and remembrance.) God Bless.

just out of interest why do people say battling cancer? and the really sad thing is that they do have the cure for cancer but they cant make any money out of it they wont make it.
And in general i am a large windows fanboy but i will admit that this is a loss to the world of computers. I am that big of a fanboy to admit that.

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. I think I'm just a little hot under the collar since it wasn't necessarily Senor Jobs I was thinking of.
Pardon me for ending a sentence in a preposition. I'm a little distraught.
its okay, he was a good man that invented a lot of things that changed peoples lives
we wouldnt have ipods without him or smart phones (maybe)

Haha! Very true. And I am deeply thankful for the "knockoff" Droid.... lol
to be fair, iphone was first....i think
That's why I'm calling my Droid a knockoff.... but I still prefer it.

its not really a knockoff, its just that it wasnt first
I probably wouldn't be posting on the machine I have right now if it weren't for Steve Jobs. May he rest eternally in peace and his legacy live in until the end of man. He truly was an inspiration to many people.
