I hope that means Apple will stop trying to update Safari whenever I'm forced to download iTunes.

Yeah, I doubt that'll happen. It's Apple, and it's had a pretty strange way of approaching...

*checks Wikipedia* Oh, snap, you're right! This is horrible! D:



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

My friend called me around eight or nine last night and told me.
I realized quickly that I was a bad person.
Because I laughed, and said, "Nice!"

. . .

I mean, she laughed too, but still... It was a man's life...

And I laughed...

I've been feeling sick to my stomach about that since then.
I mean everyone knows Steve Jobs was a cockwaffle in the turtleneck, but...

You know, he was still a visionary.

A greedy one...

But a visionary nonetheless.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
I didn't like the guy at all... But I think he left the world a better place than he found it.
I know that if I died today, I don't think anyone could say that about me.
So R.I.P. Mr. Jobs. I hope if I find heaven after death, I can buy a song from i-tunes, and not have to pay for it again if I want a ring-tone of that song.

ZV, you're going to hell.

But I will probably follow. They say he introduced the iDied. Highlight if you're a bad person.

Anyway, our family was devastated. Say what you must, Tacheon, but I believe he helped the industry in bringing us forward in the computer age.

Copy, paste somewhere else, and resize if you want a free season pass to hell. Steve Jobs, the owner of Apple was taken by PC--Pancreatic Cancer.

That tasteless joke aside, I'll admit that he was quite a pioneer to the age of technology. Apparently, according to some statistics I heard on some news show, more people got iTouches/iPhones/iPods in just a few years than the telly did in a decade or so...or something like that. Point being: they sold like hotcakes.

I can't say that I'm incredibly grieved beyond compare, but it is a great loss and I wish the best for his friends, family, and supporters.
