• ...why am I so shocked to hear about the death of Steve Jobs? Its 4am here and I just had a newsflash appear on my computer screen from the BBC.

• It's very sad as he was a revolutionary. I wasn't surprised though because he's been very ill lately and didn't look well.

• We've lost an insanely great innovator and visionary.

• I agree with you both.
  
  I dont know why I'm so surprised, because he obviously wasnt well. Maybe its just a stark reminder that life can be very short. He was only a few years older than me, so maybe I'm just being reminded to live my life to the fullest.

• Its the top story on all the news channels here. The BBC just had a 30-minute segment about his life.

• The man was brilliant. We've lost a true genius.

• I agree. I've been upset all morning. Obviously I didnt know the guy, but I know how much of an impact he had on my day-to-day life.
  
  And its always sad when the world loses a genius. Whether he was a technological genius or a business genius, either way, he was a genius.
  
  
  
  I think I might have to buy myself a gift to cheer myself up

• A light went out in this world yesterday. May he rest in peace.
• #11 by Chavster on 06 Oct, 2011 09:31
• I agree.
  
  I think the other thing that has been upsetting me about this is that when he resigned from Apple a couple of months ago, he probably knew he only had weeks to live. Obviously there are other people in that same boat, but I cant imagine what that must be like. To go through the day, knowing that in a few short days or weeks, you're going to be six feet under.
  
  How the hell do you spend your last days? I think if it were me, I'd just take an overdose and get it over and done with. I'd go nuts otherwise.

• There are quite a few that have felt like you and have taken that way out. Who is to say what is right or wrong.
• #13 by Chavster on 06 Oct, 2011 09:38
• I guess people have to do what they have to do, but for me, I think I'd take the selfish way out, because I wouldnt want to spend my last few weeks in a nut house. If a doctor said to me "you have a month to live", I think I would probably go insane right there on the spot.

• It is a tragic loss for the world. He was truly a revolutionary and  visionary thinker!
