tbrown 26 #8 October 6, 2011 I'm actually genuinely sad to hear this. At my age I'm getting used to hearing about people kickin' the old bucket on a regular basis. But this guy really changed our world a lot - and in mostly good ways. He had a creative intelligent mind. And he was exactly my age (yipes). Blue skies Steve !

squirrel 0 #9 October 6, 2011 A childhood friend of mine, died at age 17. He had brain cancer. We grew up in Silicon Valley, Los Altos more specifically... and through technology and geography, Steve became his friend. My friend was an child genius in computers. Steve spent much private time with my friend in his last days. He was a good man, he did well, and he will be missed. I can only think that his mission in this life was done, and he was free to,... move on. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I felt the same way because he's just 10 years older than me. It's weird for my generation to be dying from cancer and other ills.

ltdiver 3 #15 October 6, 2011 "Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

MikeJD 0 #19 October 6, 2011 QuoteKarma. Uh, no - I'm pretty sure it was cancer. Which also killed my dad, and he never exploited anybody. I don't feel particularly affected by Jobs' death, but it's sad for anyone to die so young. Like Skymama said, it's a reminder that success and wealth can't compete with good health.
