Scratch

This is possibly the worst event in the short history of computers. I've always felt as though Mac had better hardware and creativity than windows, while I prefer the windows or a linux operating system. I love the sleek style of almost all mac products, with either the shiny white finish or the matte gray finish, as opposed to those ancient towers with the ugly cream finish. Not to mention the innovation of iPads and iPods and iPhones, which tons of major companies have attempted to copy, never with as much success.

At least he died around his friends and family... I was watching macsurfer and then the headline came up on the top of the page.    He was only 56 when the cancer got to him...

;_;
Its soooo sad.

Companies like Apple plan their production months early. I'm almost sure he was aware of merchandise that is not to be released until 2012. It's just that he didn't live to see the announcement of the iPhone 5

Modern coding? What?

Stopped reading there. First of all Windows is not an actual machine, it's an OS. That being said, Windows has nothing to do what kind of "hardware" your computer has.

Also if you didn't realise, Mac OS can be installed on a computer that has equally bad hardware as it would have if Windows was installed on it.

And lastly, the Mac computer is just pre-built from various other computer parts. You can use parts of a Mac on a regular PC and vice versa.

How we think about coding now. 

How is Steve Jobs related to programming? Are you aware of what coding is?

good person bro


but i don't really like apple anyway

I hope you know he founded pixar. Imagine how sad the world would be without toy story?

He said he didn't like Apple, not Pixar

I think  that the very moment that Steve died and it was broadcasted on the radio, around 10000 people(at least) cried and informed all his/her friends.

Bet Bill Gates is partying

I am aware of what coding is. PF said it better.
No-one would have made any iOS devices without him creating it first.

@Servine: No way.

If he is, New Target.

Quote from wikipedia:
Gates released a statement saying:
"I'm truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs' death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work. Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely."

At school, we were finding pictures and on google it said Steve Jobs.

He died from cancer
