I don't care whether anyone particularly cared for Steve Jobs, the point is he was an individual who made considerable impact to the modern world and it seems appropriate to mark his death. It's not particulalry significant, everyone knew it was coming and everyone dies anyway except Keith Richards. Still, when one induvidual makes a significant impact or makes significant achievements in the world I feel that it should be recognised and considered.

I get so tired of these dismissive comments, or worse those who pretend they care about starving millions in Africa.

By the way, it's never too early to make jokes. As long as it's not as boringly obvious as "iDied".

i get tired of people defending freshly dead billionaires

Maybe they'll start making a complete product now, instead of making a product, re-leasing it again in 12 months with one little update, and charging out the arse for it.

Who's defending him? Recognising him as an individual who had a particular impact on the world is just fact.

i'm up to about, a dozen so far.

Ty, it always amazes me how news travels fast on bf2s. i'm no Apple fan boy, but i can work on a Mac, i own an iPod, and Jobs helped get pc's into schools.

but this forum will always be a place where the die-hard members will be flippant about everything, death included.

@ Ty, even a dismissive or rude comment must be uttered or written by someone who has both recognized and considered the man's death. Such a commenter has recognized the death as an apathetic event and consider him unworthy of regard in death.

Maybe I'm just pathologically stoic when it comes to death. But I've only cried over two deaths in my lifetime.

Who's defending him? Recognising him as an individual who had a particular impact on the world is just fact.

His legacy is turning cheaply made in china crap into a luxury item.
