Steve Jobs has passed away

[Mathew]

Just a day after the announcement of iPhone 4S and iOS 5.... such a shame! R.I.P.

Saw this last night as it happened. Such a shock that it happened so suddenly. Jobs and many other individuals have helped shaped the world we see today. A remarkably interesting man to read about, he was good at marketing a product and quite a good, influential business man. His passing will have a huge impact.

The strange thing is so many people will learn about his death using something he created. His work completely defined a generation IMV anyway. Very sad day.

That never occured to me! I got a text from my friend at 6:39am this morning and I checked on the BBC News app on my iPad... Wow...

So touching. So appropriate.

Not only was he the genius behind Apple, but he also played a significant role in Pixar and the Walt Disney Company's Board of Directors. So much achievement at such a young age; a clear cut idol if I ever saw one.

R.I.P Steve .

[.:Wahu:.]

Such a sad sad loss i was actually eating lunch with my friends and i got the email saying of his passing. Steve did so much for our world of course as we know founder of Apple but also founder of Pixar. It's such a shame to see him lose his battle with cancer. R.I.P Steve Jobs, you will not be forgotten by anyone.

This really is a tragic loss.

Cannot believe he is gone, just like that. He is a true inspiration, and was key in creating what could be the best known band, in the world.

Such sad news. When I woke up and saw the news this morning I was shocked.

R.I.P Steve!

I saw this last night while browsing the internet on my ipod touch, shows how much of an impact his work has had on the world. Such sad news, RIP

Microsoft has confirmed that flags are half-staff at all campuses worldwide for Steve Jobs

Been reading a number of websites while in college today. In one the sessions the tutor put up a video that showed many of his great moments while at Apple then it was spoiled by an idiot saying "Any jobs at Apple then". You may or may not like Apple but the guy sure did a hell of a lot for the technology industry worldwide.

It's a testament to his commitment to Apple and technology in stepping down as CEO so shortly before his death.
