What is shocking about a guy with pancreatic cancer dying because of his pancreatic cancer?

Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and kills pretty much everyone who gets it.

I wasn't a fan of the turtle necks.

Steve Jobs changed the way humans live and communicate with each other (to start with), it wasn't all about his personality and business practices...

I also wouldn't say I'm "sad" over this. So settle down waves. Ya just wanted to jump in and be "that guy" didn't ya.

He's secured himself in the books of history. Whether you approve of his influence or not, there's no denying the influence itself.

he had a hand in it.

He did not invent the computer, nor telephone or internet.

I thought he was a shrewd businessman.

I also thought he was alot older.

And I like turtlenecks.

The thing is, you don't have to care. Whether you like it or simply can't admit it, he has changed YOUR life. Sorry if you can't comprehend that. You may be behind the times a little.

SJ made things usable that were seen as unusable by average joe - YOU. And everyone then tried to copy them without success.

The stupidness with blind MS users is the fact that many believe that something must be difficult in order to be useful. SJ's philosophy was the polar opposite.

I was building motorola based computers at the same time Jobs was.



And I agree with your statement of "genius".

Most people don't recognize genius , regardless of their own IQ.
