I dont know if this has already been said, but there have been 3 apples that changed the world. The one Adam and Eve ate, the one that fell on Newton's head and the half eaten one that Steve Jobs gave to the world. I am not an Apple guy, but what Steve Jobs did for the industry will not be matched.

Hate him or not , he did change the mobile industry , the computer industry and the music industry, he made other companies setup their game , i remember before the iphone was released we had such shit phones , the first iphone did change how we thought of mobile phones , and even the tablet industry , many companies tried to get into the tablet market but apple were the first to succeed in making a great tablet. R.I.P Steve Jobs

I've been using a Mac since 1985, at first by parking in front of a Fat Mac (512k) at my brother's house. I was an Amiga guy until it was good and dead, and then, looking to transfer over into a similar work style I bought a used Mac II. I've used other computers, but I invested in the Mac. Things got really hard during the 90's when Steve got marginalized and left. The CEOs in that interim were full of suck and fail. I was pretty sure I was going to have to go through another Amiga "stark realization" phase at some point because those guys were driving the company into the ground. Then Steve came back like fucking Superman and brought the Mac back to life. It was pretty glorious.

I hope Apple can keep it rolling, I'm sure Steve gassed up the car before he left.

I'm not going to go into the alternative medicine that probably shortened his life, even geniuses make mistakes. I'll just say I'm really sad he's gone.

The man most definitely was a genius. No one has had quite the same impact as he did during the ongoing digital revolution. We can all thank him for the computers we use today. Smartphones would be but a novelty if it wasn't for Steve. Tablets wouldn't be taking the world by storm if it wasn't for him. And even areas such as retail has benefited from his vision of beautiful design and working customer service to make our transactions that much more enjoyable. The industry will miss him.

But whilst I was shocked, and saddened by the news of his passing, we should not be mourning. We should be ensuring that we are building a better future in his stead, to make up for what all of us have lost.

Illness didn't stop him from leading the world's largest tech company. Nor did he go down without an incredible fight. Yet in the end he was but a man, and his end was inevitable.

His vision and will, however, continues living in us. We who still have the mercy to be alive.

Let's make the best of it.

I'm proud to say that isn't true. I hate apple.

Still, no death is happy.
How is it not true? Care to give your reasons to say that?
Not trying to start a fight, just curious.

I assumed (and maybe I was wrong) that Ireland 1 was referring to Apple products.

Damn, way too early for him to go.
My first ever computer was a Mac, which possibly indirectly woke my interest for IT. I've got a lot to thank him for I guess

They can track you with pretty much any cell phone, doesn't need to be a new or "smart" one.

While not exactly an Apple fanboy, I know Steve did more than his share of making the industry what it is today. For that, he was a great man.

Hate it or love it, Apple helped revolutionize the way we see computers and technology in general.

Deal with it, your opinion means nothing when compared to fact.

The man deserves credit, he was involved in the development of very nice devices and the eventual cultural impact they've had. And that's pretty impressive.

But its got to be said the Cult of Apple really need to get a life.
