Literally the most important single figure in all of computer technology just died, a man more popular and beloved than the President and the Pope combined, and you're upset because this frontpage will be afire with the news for a few hours? Christ.
Congratulations. This whining, right here, marks the beginning of the end of HN.

- lawnchair_larry 15y agoThis type of hyperbole is disrespectful both to Jobs and to many important contributors. You can admire him and respect him, but it isn't necessary to fabricate cult-of-personality-like claims. This sort of thing diminishes the work he actually did do.
