I've never liked Apple or Steve Jobs, but I can say I respect him. RIP Steve

by **Cynon** Wed Oct 05, 2011 10:20 pm

With the passing of Steve Jobs, the world has lost perhaps its greatest industrialist. Jobs will be remembered for having great ideas that were perfected by others. I think this eulogy from Bill Gates sums Steve Jobs's life and career up very well.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote: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

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

You changed the world forever, and you will never be forgotten.

Steve Jobs - The god of a technology revolution. May he rest in peace

by Nextelracer Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:11 am

This is truly a huge loss to the world. Although I, like many others, was not an "Apple fanboy" of sorts, Jobs did truly change the world with his innovations in technology, and I respect him massively for his accomplishments with Apple. You never truly know how much someone has changed the world until they leave it.

RIP Steve.

Incredibly sad news. Again, I may not have liked his brand, but he almost single-handedly started a revolution.

RIP Steve Jobs (24-02-1955 - 05-10-2011)

One of the most creative minds in all of history, and one of the most hard working people you'll ever meet.

RIP Steve Jobs.

by **F1V1** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:24 pm

I never was a fan of anything Apple did, especially the iPad because it was completely pointless and was nothing more than a big iPod. However, Jobs did an extensive amount of work not only with computers, but also with film animation and with his help over the last three decades Pixar grossed nearly $10 billion dollars in what are now accepted as some of the greatest movies ever produced. A true pioneer, and he will be missed.

This is truly a dissapointment. Steve was one of the greatest inventors of his time. RIP

If my signatures too big, I'll change it. I hope it's not, since I really like that picture.

Changing sports the Arizona Diamondbacks are out of the MLB Playoffs.
This sucks since I live in California and are surrounded by Giants, Dodgers, and A'S fans.

With that being said: GO TIGERS, BREWERS FAIL.

I had the most sketchy moment ever in NR2003 online. I've been involved in a few but none like the one in ISRA Rally cross series today at Bone Crusher (a figure 8 track). Now I think some people that don't race at ISRA get what I nearly did.

by pennst24 Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:12 am

I know Bart. Anyway, I made contact with both Cliff and Cooper through the turns and sent me at an URNHARDT angle to the wall. And I saved it both times. Razz
