Steve Jobs Is Dead

[Reese1]

RIP Steve! My family is a HUGE Apple family! Going back to the very first Macintosh from the 80s that is still sitting in my Dad's office! There hasn't been an Apple product since that someone in my family doesn't own!
My brothers run out and get in line for the release of everything new!
A life cut short too soon, so sad!

Steve.

I am a recent (but total )Apple convert. I had only had my Iphone for a few months when I bought my Macbook Pro and then my Ipod Touch.

Changed my life

I was shocked to hear the breaking news this morning too! I know the poor guy just retired like a few weeks ago. I cannot believe he is already dead! RIP Steve!

Steve has had pancreatic cancer for a while, so this is not a real surprise to the Apple community... but is definitely a tragedy. He stepped down from being the Apple CEO in August because he had gotten so sick, so I think he knew it was coming

There is a book called HOT SHOTs by suzanne elizabeth phillips that is a fictional story based on Steve and Steve from Apple. Its one of the best fictional books Ive ever read!

They also played some of his speech that he gave at Standford a while back:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Not trying to sound morbid or anything but the day before he died I woke up from a dream where I dreamt that it was the end of the world (apocalypse type scenario) and I don't remember my dream in its entirety but I remember specifically regretting that I didn't accomplish/live the life I wanted.

It takes courage to live your own life or even pursue your dreams--Steve Jobs had the courage to do so and we all are better off because he didn't let anyone stop him. He accomplished in his short life a lot more than many and I am thankful for his legacy and the inspiration that will hopefully arise in all of us.

He had a genius for knowing what people would want. I'm very sad he is gone and I have wondered what he could have done over the next 30 or so years. That is something the world will never know.
