It saddens me not only his death but also the way some jerks will always be jerks even at times like this. Regardless of you being jealous of those with an iDevice of some sort, Steve did forever change the game and did leave a great mark on this world of ours, contrary to these anon jerks fooling around with the death of someone who had such an impact on this world. To those jerks with mocking comments: grow up kids! You'll never be more than .001% of what Steve was but if you try enough you may still end up half-decent human beings.
this morning when i started my pc and read the news i had the same feeling i had when i found about M.J.'s death.So many made fun of Steve's illnes,as they were making fun of MJ,and only after they left us we all realized the value of them.He didn't made his fortune with oil,insurance or war.RIP Steve Jobs you are a great man!
