ill be honest here. usually when i hear people dying, i never care really. but this news i can truly say is sad to hear. he was a smart man, very creative. i own pretty much every apple product made. i was hoping he would still be alive to see the build of his campus he dreamed of building. RIP steve jobs, i look forward to owning your iphone 4gs for sprint oct 14th.

We were just talking about him over lunch today in NY laughing about how the stock went down with the underwhelming announcement of the iPhone 4S. I'm with you roskinc - something about his dying definitely brings a sadness. But I was sad when Billy Mays died so maybe I'm just a weird...

The crazy thing is, I am genuinely sad. I have seen many famous people come and go but this man was more than that.
