Steve Jobs died. Where do you think Apple will go from here?
What in the. I didn't know he was that ill. Poor dude.
Apple will be fine. Bitches love macbooks.
Apple will go... uhm... make more things that start with "i".
This is where I point out that his health has been deteriorating for years.Quote:

The world lost one of its most influential people today. I'd like to think Apple will still continue to innovate the technology market while everyone else just tries to catch up to them.
Within an hour of hearing about his death I'm playing with an iPad. And he'll never know that I take back all the bad things I said about it. Whee, Cut the Rope is a fun game!
Hell yeah that game is fun.
Don't pay much attention to Apple. Paid even less to its (former) CEO. Poor guy. Makes his appearance at that other product release or w/e a few weeks ago all the more inspiring and/or insane.Quote:

But that probably won't happen. Some new guy will prolly take his place and ruin everything Steve Jobs had going and fail.
Is the future of Apple products really the first thought you had when you heard the news?Quote:

I'm not a super hardcore Apple fan. But I do love my ipod and my Mac Pro and my iPad. And Pixar is like my favorite studio in the world. Individually, these things are impressive innovations. But combined, wowza. I know almost nothing of his personal life, but his professional accomplishments were extraordinary. I don't think it's hyperbole when people say that he was a game changer.

But he was those things. :confused: He literally changed (or at least was partially responsible for changing) how people view and interact with the world.Quote:
