    Why are you even posting in this thread? The man was a genius and is responsible for so much in the electronics market.

    I don't think most people are getting weepy eyed over this, but rather respecting and understanding the genius and importance of this man.

    RIP Steve Jobs. You were so influential in a lot of modern day technology. Wether you own an apple product or not you can bet Jobs influenced it with his great vision.

    I am bearish on aapl's prospects and have been short their stock, but man, show some damn respect. Steve Jobs is a genius any way you slice it. It is a sad day when a great human being like that leaves us. RIP.

    do you not realize the fact you are using a computer now is because of Steve Jobs?

    What is your problem? Somebody died dude, it's normally for people to feel sad.
