!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not even on CBC yet.
I only ever had an ipod, but he was extremely talented at what he did - just think back to how much Apple changed things that in last 30 years. And think how much he changed Apple itself.
Apparently, in addition to the iSeries, he also developed the MOUSE (!!!! did not know that).

He was a great man, who most definitely influenced the way we have grown up in the age of computers. I mean, who else first learned how to use a computer in your elementary school library on the old colourful iMacs  You will be missed- RIP Steve Jobs. |

I've watched that commencement speech so many times. Really inspirational.

I just heard not ten minutes ago and it shocked me to no end. RIP Steve. Never owned anything by apple, but I still respected him.
I didn't know he had cancer.
EDIT: Or that he was involved with Pixar...

As much as I appreciate his work with Apple, I love him for being involved in the creation of Pixar even more.
R.I.P. to the man who was a part of creating some of the best movies I've ever seen. |

they are both gone now and they were both human. every person has a job in his life and at the end he leaves with nothing , so just look at the positives that the person did and don't compare them , I love my iphone a lot and I love NDP |

Both of them had visions that changed the world, literally. They both changed the way Canadians go about their everyday lives. I know you mean no offence to Steve Jobs, but he goes far beyond the iPhone and MacBooks you see today, he literally was at the forefront of the consumer computer era. Give the man some respect, he did not just make gadgets. |
