Yes. It's a sad day, but he accomplished more in his too-short life than most people.
I still like line-mode interfaces and hate clicky mouses, but Jobs did right by a lot of folks, it seems.
It's the end of an era. And it makes me wonder what's on Bill Gates mind.

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.

I read this sad news from the Internet on the touchscreen of my cellphone.
I found the story using a graphical user interface, on an operating system that employs an object-oriented paradigm.
Although Jobs did not invent any of those things, he certainly brought them all to the market effectively. Most importantly, he did it in a way that made people want to use technology rather than be intimidated by it.
I am an IT student studying usability. It would be hard to think of a single person who represented the user better than he.
Steve I never liked you but I am really going to miss you, RIP in iHeaven.

You know, as a huge Apple fan and pretty die hard Mac user, I figured this news when it eventually came would hit me hard ...
But I was actually suprised at just how sad it made me. I've always been in awe of Jobs and with his death, it feels like the world will be a little less ... I don't know ...
Sigh ...
Anyway, rest in peace, Steve, you magnificent genius bastard.

Agreed. He is one of the few men who could truly say he changed the way the world worked. I cut my computing teeth on the Apple Macintosh, and I still prefer Apple to other computers. Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.
A sad day. The only celebrity I've ever cared for. A great businessman, a visionary, Steve will be sorely missed.
I retire this alias with heavy heart.
The king is dead, the King is dead! Long live the king.
RIP.
Long live Apple, Inc.
