Absolutely. Tim Cook is damn near a clone of Steve Jobs. If the company fails it will be many years before that happens but I don't see that in Apple's future at all.

Steve Jobs is our generations Thomas Edison. His inventions have made a difference in how people communicate. The world is a better place because of him.

So true, his energy and enthusiasm for life always amazed me. It was very sad to watch him deteriorate over the past few years. In his last few interviews he looked tired, especially when he officially resigned as CEO back in August.

Very sad, indeed. His name will live on in the history books for the great advances he made in technology and in business in general.

Apple has been surviving a while without him at the helm. He's been very sick for a number of years and hasn't functioned as much more than title only for a few years. I got to meet him last year at a childrens cancer research fundraiser. Really nice guy.

I seems the prototypes for the Ipancreas and Iliver just didn't arrive soon enough for him.

My mate will be devastated he is a full on Apple acolyte.

My husband told me this morning. He had to wake me up at 3am to tell me!

It's sad, yes, but that man was almost looking forward to it <--I say this with respect.

I will put a quote here from Jobs
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life."

I'm one of the people that definitely needed to hear that shit!

I suppose my joke about Jobs wasn't very "PC" was it?

I enjoyed the post! Steve Jobs knew he was dying soon. I mean, that doesn't make it any easier for his family, I'm sure.

I do like what his fans did though, with the iPhone candle. A lot of people turned their screens black and what not, in his memory.

Westboro Church plans to protest his funeral. Funny thing is, they posted that on Twitter from an iPhone.
