R.I.P. Steve Jobs

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

Damn… at the young age of 56, the former CEO of Apple has passed away.

  37. RIP

    This technology of video gadgets moves people apart, similar to hip hop. It takes them further and further from each other, from nature, and from the world. It ruins their eyes and their bodies. It erodes their humanity. It’s an opium for the masses. It’s not good.

    Think about it… iPods, iTunes, Apple Store… all relate to music and their distribution. Hip-Hop is distributed through it. He revolutionized how we obtained and broadcast our music… Rest In Paradise Steve

  52. @realshit: People thumbs down not because of the post, but because they don’t like the fact that Jobs died. That’s why I thumbed down anyway.

    Maga D said this on October 5th, 2011 at 9:56 pm

  53. People commenting on the thumbs up/down:

    It’s clear (almost) everyone is sad to see him go. It’s just that some people are hitting the thumbs up to show their support and desire that he may RIP. Others are hitting the thumbs down because the news is sad. Don’t be so quick to think the community is that awful.

    ghostface27 said this on October 5th, 2011 at 9:57 pm

  54. Any idiot saying that Steve Jobs has no relevance to Hip Hop needs to stop and think for a second. Some of your favorite artists are able to get their music to the masses because of the iPod and the iTunes service that came with it. There is little point explaining beyond that, but suffice it to say Steve Jobs has affected music/ hip hop greatly.

    RIP Steve Jobs
    And to people confused by the thumbs up/down, it’s kinda confusing what to do when it’s bad news. You dislike the news but like the person and what they did or is doing.

  96. Seeing a lot of these comments is the reason why I don’t even like coming into the c-section, but sometimes I have to come in to look at the idiocy that gets posted.

    Being a career software technologist for over 10 years, and a computer user for over 20 years, I admire Steve Jobs for having the courage to innovate in a market where everyone tends to copy one another. He revived a dying company into being one of the largest and innovative tech companies in the history of modern computing. Him and his team have been responsible for creating products that have molded themselves into various markets that the PC dominated for so long. No matter where your brand loyalty lies, Steve Jobs is responsible for directly effecting the products you use. From design aesthetics, to GUI, to marketing strategies, Apple is a brand that you must mention when discussing technology, and that is largely due to the vision of Steve Jobs.

    So pay your respects for not just a great visionary, but a human being that affected so many lives in positive ways. Leave the ignorance alone for at least just a brief moment.
