The Apple front page has an in memorium.

By hook or by crook, he was a titan.  I think I told you guys I saw him speak at CalTech in either '84 or '85, and he was absolutely mesmerizing.

Damn, that sucks... I was never a huge fan of Apple products, but the guy was every bit of the aforementioned titan that people say he was. Helping pioneer the way to making technology so ... globally applicable is no small feat.

If you had told me when I was a kid in the early/mid-90s that within 10 years Apple would be huge and revolutionize phone technology, I never would have believed it.  But that was Steve Jobs, I guess.

it's really sad. he really changed everything as luna said.
hell, imagine all the advancements in technology in the last 10 years. ipods, iphones, ipads... let alone all the music stuff.

trent said it best on twitter:

"Thanks for the tools, the inspiration, the possibilities... Miss you already Steve."
