- ck2 15y agoI've never used any apple products (at least not for more than 5 minutes before they completely turned me off) but 56 is too young for anyone and my condolences to those who are affected by this.
- bigiain 15y agoWhether you use/buy/like Apple products or not - it's clear they (largely under Jobs' guidance) have been one of the fundamental forces shaping the computing and consumer electronics landscapes for over 3 decades. The man was a giant in his industry - up there with Gates and Torvalds. The world will continue on without him, and innovation/invention/market-leadership will rise, fall, and change in spite of him. Getting accolades from the likes of Gates, Brin, Page, Zuckerberg et al shows a lot about Jobs. Getting accolades from Obama shows different things. Im my opinion, filling the first 2 or 3 pages of HackerNews says an awful lot about how people in this community respect the man. Vale Steve.
