CUPERTINO, Calif. -- October 05, 2011

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

Its a little weird that you broke the story before cnn. Did you kill him?

[Buckwheet]

it was posted in many other places before cnn, including apples website with a huge picture of him saying he is dead.

[g++]

People routinely check apples website? Well whatever. RIP guy that made my phone.

[Fallen]

Poor guy. All that money couldn't save him.

When places like gizmodo, ABC News, Washington Post, and other all have the story before CNN, and they have links to apple.com showing the posting even still before CNN has said anything...


Yes.

Maybe I'm a lamer for this, but I'm actually crying a little.

Good luck and godspeed, Mr. Jobs. You inspired a generation.

[TheEschaton]

Steve Jobs inspired a generation? Which generation? Pretty pathetic generation, imo.

All Steve Jobs has done is fragmented and isolated our society into commoditized individual units.

And made a fanboy so large and idiotic that it makes his 1984 commercial literally ironic.

True on all counts. However, for good or for ill (a bit of both, I think), he has also been massively influential in the computer industry. I recognize that, and I salute it.

You know how people say "if you don't have something nice to say about a person, better not to say it at all?" This would be one of those times.

For what its worth, there's no question he put the emphasis on personal ease of use and forced the rest of the industry to go in that direction. When you look at the amount of disruptive innovation he caused in the technology industry (PCs, personal music players, smartphones, tablets) and how much other companies had reorient to catch up, it's frankly pretty amazing.

Think about it: before the iPhone was introduced, no one really thought there was going to be much advancement on the hardware side. The PC was it, and all major innovation was going to be via web-based software. Jobs flipped that on its head, and created another realm of competition altogether. Whatever smartphone you use, it either got visibly better or was created because Apple came out with the iPhone. Same thing with tablets: Tablets had failed so many times that no one thought they had a chance of ever succeeding. iPad changed all that.

Oh yeah, don't forget he created Pixar too. Unless you dislike computer-animated movies.

not a fan of ipods or iphones, think its stupid to pay extra for something because its "cool". that being said with out they we might not have the other smart phones and MP3 players we got today. and I've seen the ipad do some good stuff, that could be really useful for certain jobs. an ipad with the autocad app would make surveys a hell of alot easier.

anyways, rest in peace guy. things that he caused might have happened with out him, but who knows how long it would have taken.

Apparently the Westboro Baptist Church agrees with TheE.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/06/westboro-baptist-church-steve-jobs_n_998008.html


Just hours after the announcement of Steve Jobs' death, Margie Phelps, a leader of the Westboro Baptist Church--the group notorious for protesting military funerals--took to Twitter to announce that her organization would give Jobs the same harsh treatment. Responding to the AP's notification that Jobs had died, Phelps wrote that "Westboro will picket his funeral. He had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin." In a subsequent tweet, Phelps wrote of Jobs: "No peace for man who served self, not God."

Unsurprisingly, Phelps' proclamation drew widespread scorn on Twitter. And it was ironic, many noted, that she made her announcement using Twitter for iPhone. "The iPhone-wielding Westboro members seemed unable to find any irony in their embrace of the technology of a man they condemn," reported The Washington Post.

"She used an iPhone to announce [the protests]," wrote Dave Weigel at Slate. "By extension, Margie Phelps -- nay, the entire Westboro Baptist Church -- has embraced a philosophy of tolerance for gays. Well done."

In response to her critics, Phelps tweeted Thursday morning "Rebels mad cuz I used iPhone to tell you Steve Jobs is in hell. God created iPhone for that purpose! :)"

I hear "freeing the slaves" is completely equatable to "creating personal computers."

[TheEschaton]

Why must we be nice about people who've died if we disagree with them? I hated Reagan's policies and didn't immortalize him like everyone seemed eager to do once he died.

I don't think Jobs is a sinner like Westboro, those people are idiots. What bothers me is the hero worship of a man who only served to make our society more fragmented and isolated, and made billions of dollars off it, all the while marketing himself as the rebellious avant garde.

I think you are trying a little hard to go against the norm considering that the iPhone connects people not fragment them.

20 years ago would you have imagined that you could pick up your phone and actually see a soccer game half way around the world in real time? The answer is a big fat no. There are many factors into why we can do this today but Jobs and Apple are the ones who put it in our hands for an affordable price.

[Keller]

Maybe not, but discrediting a person's accomplishments because they were inevitable is equivalent to discrediting a person's accomplishments because they were inevitable.

I get it. You're counter counter-culture. You take pride in going against those who go against the grain.

P.S. Back, that soccer game half a world away that you're watching on your iPhone? Who you watching it with on your iPhone? Nobody? Oh yeah, that's right.

I am not counter counter-culture. If he was actually someone who went against the grain, I'd be singing his praises. But he was a businessman who sold products by packaging them as a revolution that it isn't. If the founder of Intel died tomorrow, would there be such an uproar over his death? Surely he revolutionized computing as well, right? The point is, he is celebrated for being a revolutionary - but that was just his advertising schtick.

iPods. Maybe living in NYC skews this view, but it's a city of 8 million people who walk in complete silence, shutting out everyone else to live in their own world. Not only does it fragment us, but it can be literally dangerous at times.

The iPhone and iPad do the same thing, except with apps and videos. To some extent they're extensions of the cell phone and computer industry, but Jobs helped to shift those devices from "business convenience" to something else.

Ya, I think Back is a little confused on this one.

iPhone has always been a luxury item enjoyed by (i) wealthy people and (ii) people with too much credit card debt.

[TheEschaton]

I'm confused as to what Blizzard has to do with anything. I use their products, and they put out groundbreaking games, but last I checked, they're not claiming to lead a revolution. If the company broke up tomorrow, legions of fanboys wouldn't weep and gnash their teeth in misery. Jobs made himself out to be a cultural and social icon.

Because, before iPods, New Yorkers were walking around town chatting each other up?

C'mon. If anything, the lack of interaction has made New Yorkers kinder and more liked by their communities.

Feel free to call me Dustin.

Blizzard also produces a product that encourages people to spend time by themselves and without community interaction. It even intentionally introduces achievements/maintenance requirements to make people spend even more of their time in isolation.

Think about how many daily quests Wayne has done trying to get exalted with every faction. Think of how better the world would be if instead he was out cavorting with his neighbors or coaching little league.

[TheEschaton]

Oh, well, if you're talking about the isolating affect of internet gaming, I don't disagree with that.

But Blizzard isn't saying that playing their games is a revolutionary grassroots community movement.

[Back]

P.S. Back, that soccer game half a world away that you're watching on your iPhone? Who you watching it with on your iPhone? Nobody? Oh yeah, that's right.

A person watching around the world in real time on their phone is watching it with everyone in the stadium, everyone watching it on local or cable television, and everyone else who is watching it on the web. There may not be physical presence but every single one of those people are experiencing the same thing at the same time and thats pretty fucking remarkable in my opinion.

But I know you are just trying to hard to be a rebel when you throw out the notion that the iPod fragments New Yorkers because there was such a thing as portable music playing devices before that.

This post makes no sense. I'm not criticizing Jobs for being innovative or a good businessman, he was both. I'm not criticizing him for building a computing company from nothing. And if you want to continue to erect straw men like that, you'll need to do it against people who aren't smarter than you.

Secondly, your analogy makes no sense. Bank vaults aren't community places which are fragmented by online banking. An apt analogy would be Facebook, which replaces actually seeing your friends, and interacting and nurturing relationships, with an online summary of what they've been doing, self-reported and self-filtered. The critiques of Facebook and Twitter are the same critiques of the iPod and the iPad.

I have the audacity because you're dumb as hell. Most of this board is smarter than you. You find meaning while drinking 40s out of brown paper bags on park benches and running into wise black women you don't know. I don't need to overcompensate, it has nothing to do with the level of our educations, it is entirely based on that which you have demonstrated.

So unless you're conducting a highly sophisticated experiment on perception/projection, I have no problem saying I'm smarter than you. Keller's almost certainly smarter than me and he's on the other side of this debate. Kranar is like a genius and I wouldn't pretend to be on his playing field. The audacity is you acting shocked and outraged and insisting that we all must be of the same intelligence just because we can string sentences together, albeit nonsensical ones, in your case.

Steve Jobs is half Arab.. some say his dad was a deadbeat like Obama's and left him, others say the woman's family refused to let them get married cuz the guy was Arab.

either way, the greatest Arab-American to ever live has passed away

RIP

There was a time when Arabs were innovators.

You know what is stopping them? Islam.

Before a fundamental form of Islam was adopted by Arabs, they were ahead of the West technologically -- including mathematics. So of course the most innovative Arab would be a Buddhist. He is not hindered by some false devil-god.

And yes, I agree, the fundamentalists did contribute to the digression of the knowledge base of Muslims.. so did the Mongols and Colonialism. We are reviving it now.. but I love the first part of your statement. I'm not really interested in proselytizing about the latter (incorrect) devil part of your statement though, just because proselytizing on the internet doesn't really work. Learned that here.

Touche.

I'm starting to be concerned about IW's mental health and the safety of his wife and child, and what my moral responsibility may be to protect them before the police find them chopped into tiny pieces in his basement fridge.

He did nothing for the computer industry but commoditize it and make it for personal use. Granted, a big step, but one which would have occurred regardless.

A little late but this article I was reading last night reminded me of this post.
