Humankind lost one of the greater representatives of our species

Imagine where the computer world would (or wouldn't) be without his contributions.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Apple should push the super secret button to make their phones implode...or at the very least...make them mysteriously somehow lose the ability to organize via communication with any apple device...

It's Steve Jobs guys, not Ghandi.

I'd hate to be the asshole but some of this "Steve Jobs is the greatest" stuff is a little ridiculous. He didn't free a country or stave off world hunger with his net worth of $8.3 billion, he created a computer company. In fact, unless he was donating anonymously, he wasn't much of a philanthropist at all. This is a quote from Fortune Magazine...

QuoteLast year the founder of the Stanford Social Innovation Review called Apple one of "America's Least Philanthropic Companies." Jobs had terminated all of Apple's long-standing corporate philanthropy programs within weeks after returning to Apple in 1997, citing the need to cut costs until profitability rebounded. But the programs have never been restored.

I'm not an Apple hater or a Steve Jobs hater, in fact I have 2 Mac computers, 3 ipods, have wanted the iphone for quite some time now, and would never wish death on anyone but the guy didn't pave a better road for humanity. He created a way for people to "look cooler" and download apps faster. He changed the way people communicate electronically and that's it.

Although, I'm sure he was a nice guy and I hope he's in a better place and doesn't have to deal with cancer.
