Steve Jobs: 1955 - 2011 - Wiregeek - 10-06-2011 http://www.apple.com "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger." From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579457/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies - classicdrogn - 10-06-2011 Well, crap. That sucks. It sucks a lot. -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely. And if you do not use it wisely, make sure you thoroughly enjoy whatever unwise thing you are doing." - HymnOfRagnorok as Orochimaru at SpaceBattles woot Med. Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows - SilverFang01 - 10-06-2011 May he rest in peace. - Jenova Silverstar - 10-06-2011 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 from the 2005 commencement address he gave at Stanford "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." --Dr. Seuss - Proginoskes - 10-06-2011 He may have been a bit of a dick (iOS walled garden, and it is said he governed Apple R&D with an iron fist), but his marketing genius and business acumen were damn near (if not actually and completely) unparalleled, and he rescued a fine company from the brink of an undeserved collapse. He will be missed. - Glidergun - 10-06-2011 [waytoosoon]This really sucks. America can't afford to lose Jobs in this economy.[/waytoosoon] - Shay Guy - 10-06-2011 A year ago, it was Kon, and now pancreatic cancer takes Jobs. Ugh. Pronounced "shy guy." - SilverFang01 - 10-07-2011 tribute to Jobs: http://xkcd.com/961/ Best quotes: http://gizmodo.com/583433...bs-quotes?tag=steve-jobs - ordnance11 - 10-07-2011 Jenova Silverstar Wrote: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.

I guess Steve Jobs is a warrior business man and artist. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

It would suck if the company went down the tubes. - robkelk - 10-09-2011 New User Friendly today (first one this year, IIRC).
