Jobs much like Edison did not invent something new but rather they democratized the product such as light bulb for Edison and PC / mobile device for Jobs.

oooh the hypocrisy,
"please be respectful, let's ignore everything negative he did, he's now dead and should be elevated to the level of Saint",ffs people we're all adult, if you can't handle contrary point of views because "for you" he's the one and this thread should be kept aseptic like the apple environment,
grow the fuck up,
why should anyone censure what we have to say about the guy because he's now dead, that didn't stop any of you when amy whinehouse died, didn't stop the cheers and jokes when osama was allegedly killed nor when that jackass guy crashed, michael jackson, etc
a life is a life no matter who it is, stop trying to prevent contrary voices to be heard
- who said anything about him being a saint? still RIPpizzafire
- "saint"? "grow the fuck up"?

As I sit here and look at my incredible 27" IMac, I am so bummed to think the man whose genius produced this product is gone. He was and is a huge inspiration to designers everywhere to push themselves to do the best work possible.
Rest in peace Steve.

- So how many millions have you made from your stock trades?JSK
- Ha ha, nothing much tbh. I lost my ass in 2009. Hedge gave me bad advice... ;) //popfodders
- The dip in their stock isn't nearly as much as when Tim Cook took over. Foxconn had more effect over their stock.WrappedInBooks

^ dumbass, that's what people said yesterday about today, and it's still going up
- that's based upon the iPhone 5 release. Give it a few weeks.popfodders
- A few weeks? why? I don't think their P&L will, all of a sudden, sour w/o Jobs at the helm.WrappedInBooks
- Hey, I could be wrong, but that's the general consensus with the investors that I know.popfodders
- lol. 'with the investors i know'
You realise how much of a penny-trader that makes you sound?detritus - who are these investors that you know?JSK
- a few weeks it may go up. It went down with the 4S release but it came back up.k_temp
- once iphone 4S start selling with all carriers (sprint included) that thing is going upk_temp
