The Iphone and Ipad are cool, Macs not so much.

RIP maker of cool gadgets.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Whoa-- I was thinking he'd hang around for a little while longer.  RIP Steve :(

I didn't give him the credit he deserved until pretty recently.

He looked near death in the last picture I saw about a week ago.  :(

RIP Herr Jobs.

Not really, he'd been diagnosed with cancer a while ago.
But sucks that he died so soon after retiring.
OTOH, Apple seemed to be his life, and without cancer he would have stayed there until death anyway.
(Or until he would be forced out again)

Well, he retired because he was near death, so short retirement was a foregone conclusion.

Hopefully we can start feeding Apple Cultists to the lions now.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
