Now to sound like a total asshole:
I guess the Job(s)...
/me shades
...is finished.

If I didn't loathe Apple with every fiber of my being I might be bothered. But...

^I hate Apple more than most, but I will state that his money-management and capitalist thinking that did a lot of good, such as the popularization of pointing devices (mouses) can be somewhat attributed to him. He himself never made anything, and he's a huge douchebag, but he's a douchebag who was amazing at what he did and helped popularize a lot of technology for people who have since made a difference.
Love him or hate him, he was kinda a big deal.

And people think Apple is now going to change because he's dead. Oh how i hate idiots.
If Apple were to change, it would be because of the fact that he stopped being CEO months back.

^wasn't he still on the board? I thought he still had some control (and besides, if you work for Apple and Steve Jobs tells you to do something, do you think they'd argue?).

Although I hate the Mac, and never cared for Apple products, I heard about Steve Jobs on the news(his death) earlier today. A great man, from what I heard. Someone that I would have great respect for. A very sad loss, I believe, but let his products live on, to commemorate his innovation, just as I commemorate my favorite singer by listening to his music, beyond his death from the damned cancer. Steve Jobs suffered from cancer as well, right?
