Co-founder, chairman, and former chief executive officer of Apple Inc. is gone, sadly.

Just a little over a month from his retirement.

Well, at least he tried doing what he loved until the very end.

PC fan that I am, his revolutions to the market are undeniable and he will be missed.

Well. I won't speak ill of the dead. I can see Apple taking a sharp nosedive in stock prices momentarily. Just what the economy needs, right?

Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs. Can't complain when an iPod is in my pocket serving faithfully.

I was gonna call bullshit on this, but CNN confirms. Damn, that's a shame. While I never owned any Apple products, I can't deny that Jobs had a massive impact on the technological world.

RIP, man.

I would've thought he was doing better than this since he only just resigned, so while I know he's had complications for a while, this still feels sudden.

Even if you don't agree with the product, it's always sad when a major mover and shaker passes on. Rest in peace.

Yeah, I thought it was 4chan being dumb again, but television stations aren't prone to reporting on 4chan (well, not THAT much).

Rest in piece. Not a big Apple fan, but...

I agree. I did like Apple's effort to create quality products and refine things. Passing away of a leader in such a field is quite a loss. Besides the fact that it's passing away of a human being, of course.

It's "peace"

It's nice that they did that to their site for him.

Well, he did have pancreatic cancer. My mom (who is a nurse) said that people usually don't live as long as he did with that. But wow. And this must have just happened, I just saw them interrupt something on CBS with the news.

Whaaaa?!

Jeez, I shoulda known. Guys like him don't retire unless they're about to pass on.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Jobs.

Didn't See That Coming. At all. sad

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

...that...just...sucks... sad

As someone who's had an ibook G4 for 7 years, and whom has to use the mac computers at the computer labs, and has had 2 ipods, while I've had mixed feelings for apples in general, they are far from useless.

That and the fact it was one other option apart from Windows, Linux, and so on...I don't know what else to say, except.

RIP Steve Jobs.

Wow. Christ. That's sad. I feel really sad right now.

It's strange to say that I spent 4 years to earn an English degree, but that's all that comes to mind. I just feel really sad.

A shot to your honor when I get the chance sir. Your products have served me well.

I use a PC personally, but I can't deny the great contribution to computing this man made. He was a visionary in the field, and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Mr Jobs.

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I too have not used Apple products much throughout my life, but I have no doubt that his vision has changed my life and the world around us for the better.

But beyond just the fact that it's Mr. Jobs himself, I'm sure it's difficult for his family and friends, as it always is to lose someone. RIP, Mr. Jobs.

This is so upsetting. Incredibly annoyed that people are already making jokes about it.

How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we don't exist...
