"CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct 05, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.
Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.
His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

Whoa, seriously didn't expect that, since he did a keynote just yesterday. (he was in that keynote wasn't he?)

[acfan]

Holy fuck this is sudden.

[lolita la vida]

Jobs done it seems

[Spacewolf]

Whoa. I hope he was able to enjoy retirement a little.

[Cell]

I didn't expect him to die so soon. I'm sure we all knew that he was ailing, but man...

[Funcoot]

Damn, I feel bad for his family. He's had a big impact on personal computers. It really wouldn't be the same if Apple wouldn't have done what it did in it's early days. PC fanboys will be reluctant to admit this, but it is true.

[FunnyBunny]

Oh shit
I wonder what this will do to apple stocks

[pyschomc]

The Apple Hero has Fallen.

[McNab]

I disliked him because of Apple.

I loved him because of Pixar.

Goodnight sweet sweater-wearing prince.

[Fulsy]

R.I.P. Mate.

Was never an apple guy myself, but I love the iPod touch and iPhone

And this was such a shitty year for apple's reputation, with all the lawsuits and stuff..

[Psychopath]

I know he stepped down from being head of Apple not too long ago due to health issues, but I didn't expect him to have kicked the bucket so soon. I'm sad now.

Didn't he resign from Apple a few months ago? I didn't watch the keynote, so I may be wrong.

[AimlessGiant]

It's always sad to lose someone who's done so much. R.I.P Steve Jobs :(

[153x]

Wait, really?

[theseltsamone]

I figured he would be one of those dudes who lived to be 94 and in 20 years somebody would ask "Hey, is Steve Jobs still alive?" and then the other guy would look it up, and be surprised to see that he was and that he started his own winery or some shit.

[chaoslink23]

I was slightly making fun of him yesterday.

Now I feel like a douchebag.

[ManningQB18]

That would explain the step down to chairman of the board earlier this year.

Still shocking and I'm sad to see him go.

[McNab]

I kinda feel bad that I laughed at apple's falling stocks today :/

[Scientwist]

Wow.... talk about the suckiest bunch of suck that ever sucked... Seems this day kills alot of people.

R.I.P Steve

[Black Milano]

Whether you like Apple or not, Steve Jobs was a bloody genius.

RIP, Steve.

[meatballfish]

RIP Jobs. You made a lot of great contributions to the field of computers and much much more.

[Shootzki]

Rest in peace, Steve Jobs.

I think we lost a genius today.

[Kittai]

I hate it when smart people die.

[NeoDement]

:(

the picture on apple.com makes it really sad

[DemonElite]

So much sadface. :c
