Very tragic news. I not always agreed with his thinking nor way of doing things, but he was indeed a visionary and we all benefited from some of his creations. How sadly ironic that one of the most powerful and influential human beings in the history of the planet reminds us how fragile and fleeting life truly is in the end...

Thats why, I always believe, we only live once!

So, be kind to myself, enjoy life to the fullest. And if its my own pocket, its OK as long as I dont dig into it until there's a hole.

Long live HiFi!

I travel a lot for work and it was not long ago I would cart around a CD Player and around 10 disk, by the time I had gotten anywhere I had listened to them all. Thanks Steve for the i-pod and more importantly the i-phone so I can now keep in touch with my family 24/7 when I am away. RIP.

Sad day.
RIP Steve. And peace to his family and beloved ones.
Mr. Jobs has been extremely courageous in fighting with this horrible disease while maintaining a leading position in one of the first company in the world.
May this courage be an inspiration for all the ones who need it.

In one of Steve Jobs speeches to college kids he commented on death and said…" death is the greatest invention "... for it allows innovation ... it gets rid of the old and allows for new ideas.
