Ghostwind Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 wooo I certainly hope you are not cheering his death. Love the guy or hate him, no one can argue that he was not an incredibly influential man who made positive changes in the way we communicate, and how our software communicates with us.

deadpnk Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) the news struck to me like a lightning bolt my first computer was a mac(powerbook g4), lasted for 6 years before a hard drive failure... good times... my first device that pretty much changed the way i lived was (like so many teens lol): my iPod. yea i would escape to a world of sounds when i would go on trips, out seeing stuff listening to music, and listening to audiobooks and podcasts at times, all in a small thing in that fits in my pocket...(hell, even in that extra small pocket that some pants or other clothes have) ... no one can argue that he was not an incredibly influential man who made positive changes in the way we communicate, and how our software communicates with us. so true ghostwind.... its why how we are more involved now in that aspect than what we have, at least, 10 years ago... i didnt think i would want to fill my iPod full of stuff that i prolly wont get to hear at least in my lifetime lol. or i didnt think that anyone can be productive with just a simple mouse and keyboard and a small screen... he surely left behind a legacy that probably feels like a hole now which cant be filled exactly, he did so much.

Gubbi Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Way too early to pass away.. R.I.P. Mr. 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. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." ~ Steve Jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Sizzle Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I heard Steve Jobs was into Star Trek and science fiction. Maybe that was some of the motivation behind his ideas and products. Didn't Officer Geordi La Forge have an iPad he used in the engineering department??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livyatan Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Very sad. There's definitely no denying how he revolutionized the electronic industry and beyond that. I have to agree too, that 56 is too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the way you zoom with an iPhone/iPad or MacBook was like they opened the screen on the Enterprise in one movie. Never checked if it's right though.
