It is very unfortunate. He will be missed. Without my ipod i wouldn't care about headphones.

this amazing and visionary individual shaped my life profoundly at every stage of my life, i would never have gotten into computers as a child, graphic design in my teens and early twenties, photographic compositing/imaging in my mid/late twenties, making cables for  ipods and headphones in my early thirties....... we had the 128kb mac when i was a young boy and there hasnt been a time when there hasnt been one in the house, my mother is a graphic designer and apple fanatic. funnily enough i picked up my new mini just today and heard the news at the apple store, the mood was pretty glum
 
the 'think different' campaign will go down in history as one of the phrases that changed the world.
 
in truth he hasnt been at the helm for a fair while now, but the culture at apple will never be the same. i feel like i have lost one of my good friends.

I've been the anti-Apple for awhile now but I have to give credit where it's due.  The vision and innovation was certainly there.  This is a sad loss and I respectfully tip my hat to the chap and his accomplishments.  I'm a PC and non iPod user but certainly mourn this loss and will feel nothing for Bill Gates when he passes.

May i ask what exactly is wrong with bill gates? All the hate he gets is unwarranted and undeserving. Bill gates also had a huge roll in the development of computers, in fact maybe more so. I prefer windows to any other operating system out there.

That's another thread.  This is Jobs day of remembrance.  Those are my feelings not a debate topic.

I sent an email via the apple website. I will see what happens.
