I'm throwing a victory parade at the Verizon store across the street... who's with me? :sneaky:

It would have to be a T-Mobile store now... and their cute girl in the pink dress just seems too nice to celebrate someone's death.

How can you be so insensitive to other people's religion? Let them be with their God.

Another proof that its the retarded fanboys that ruin it for everyone.

WTF? I personally think it's a great statement to his legacy.

You can't get people to stop to dial 911 most of the time today.

Well duh... can't call 911 if you're holding the phone wrong, your signal drops out

Passing of a human is always sad, but I hate the way the fanboys are reacting.

I also hate how the entire real estate of the NY Times is devoted to useless Steve Jobs twitter feeds and articles, and hardly any mention of the protests that are taking place this very minute, including a police officer who used a club on some civilians.

A WTF moment for the news media.

Ok, I love Jobs and Apple.

I used to watch his keynotes and even watched his presentation for the new HQ.

The guy was an amazing salesman and innovator.

But THIS is crazy:

Always been conflicted about him. Prodigy at making Apple grow into what it is now, but was a real douche earlier in his life. Denying your own progeny is inexcusable, and just another side effect of him being an egomaniac.

eh. it happens for famous people all the time. rock stars and movie stars. kinda strange, but everyone grieves in their own way, and the dude was important to people.

As someone that uses the name Jesus on other forums, I'd have thought you were more compassionate.

There have been many that became millionaires+ because Steve Jobs gave them that desire.

Someone like that would be pretty respected to at least do something like that little memorial.

Death is a serious thing. Eventually you will come to realize that.

i love how people still believe this guy is worth anything to the industry. i won't deny his work back during his first run, but lately he's been useless
