He had been sick for awhile, sad to see, he was very charismatic. Created that I-phone? Or I should say, his company created it.

Y"ALL wouldn't even be talkin to each other on this DS if it wasn't for the phenomenal STEVE JOBS !!!

T H A N K S...

I would be remiss if i did not include Steve Jobs infamous graduation address to the graduating class at Stanford University in 2005. He has been included in the same classification of the likes of Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell in the phenomenon of the delivery and utilization in the world of communications for computers.

He has changed your life and that of posterity forever. Listen to the story of his experience in his own words:

His parting words? "Stay hungry ; Stay foolish."

(I too had a copy of the Whole Earth Catolog that he speaks of in his address with this quote on the back.)

People (other than me!) react to Job's death!

http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2011/10/06/n_jobs_world_reaction.cnnmoney/

(I am disappointed at the reaction& lack of tribute to this post. This man changed our lives forever! He believed in his destiny! He had "the impossible dream" and he did it! He trudged on in the midst of disbelief and insisted they get it right before it went out! He made his success! He didn't make excuses ~ He made his way!)

I love my i phone he was a great inventor may he R.I.P.

my prayers.

I agree NDY, that Steven Jobs was a true and great visionary and entrepanuer, but... your statement...

"Y'ALL wouldn't even be talkin to each other on this DS if it wasn't for the phenomenal STEVE JOBS !!!"

Is... well.. just a bit over the top. I was talking to people on a computer long before Apple soldered their first circuit board. A HAM friend of mine was heavy into teletype (TTY) and we ran his ham radio from my homemade computer. True, 55 baud is so slow you can read the letters as the screen refreshes, but it was exciting. Ad soon we were all the way up to a 300 baud BizComp modem. So, was Steve an inovator, you bet. One of the best. Was he tenacious, most assuredly, but let's don't make him larger in death than he was in life.

I believe that even with all the acolades toned down to realistic levels, the world has lost one of it's greatest assets, in the person of Steve Jobs. R.I.P my techno-friend, and may we all be blessed thru your heart, as well as your mind.

RIP Steve Jobs you were truly great. We will all miss you.

A YOUNG GRADUATE STUDENT HAS AN AFFAIR WITH A SYRIAN MAN. SHE BECOMES PREGNANT, DECIDES TO CARRY THE PREGNANCY TO TERM, AND PUTS THE BABY BOY UP FOR ADOPTION. IN 1955, THERE WAS NO ROE V WADE. THE BABY BOY IS RAISED BY A FAMILY THAT WANTED HIM.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I MADE UP. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. HISTORY WILL REMEMBER STEVEN JOBS, AND OUR WORLD IS CHANGED FOREVER BECAUSE OF HIS LIFE WORK. MAY HE SLEEP IN PEACE. \

MY GRATITUDE FOR HIS LIFE WILL LIVE AS LONG AS I DO.

I heard of Mr Jobs passing and I was sad. I didnt know the man, but knew of him. I dont have an Apple anything at this time, I am seriously lost on the information high way. I was sad because Mr Jobs was a very nice guy. Steve seemed to understand the value of a human being. News show after news show told of his accomplishments but failed to see the greatest one of all, Mr Jobs saw people as important, saw his place in life and didnt seek fame or fortune (although he certainly had both). I believe this, and its just my opinion... I believe the greatest thing this man did was to lead by example. He was successful beyond most peoples dreams, and yet he never worshiped his success, never wanted to be a king. We have lived to see the passing of a great man, a man that knew how to live with dignity.

['Cuse me here,,Steve ~ just a side bar mind ya...]

Well y'all made me feel a lot happier for responding to pay tribute to a 'fervent man with a plan' (Can we just say that?) I know it was a lot of reading but I am a reader and enthusiast of determined people.

And, yes, I get all choked-up with esteemed admiration with each clip & each video I read & continue to read (don't forget my journalism degree is in newspaper reporting so I gotta drag it out for all that it's worth) ..Besides, they say stroke-victims, we cry easily!

Perhaps I over-reacted a bit when I became under-whelmed by the lack of enthusiasm to my post for that I offer my apology, tG, (Gosh - I miss you! And y'all were a long time comin) I do tend to get a bit excited when I get riled. But , you see, that is just the Irish Dander welling up in me - My thorn in my side I have had to deal with all my life!

But that's just me. And I get 'all-carried-away' by an inspiring MAN !! And, one other thing you can count on always - I AM Over - the - TOP ~ THAT is why I am ME !!

How many never get born that were wired in the dna to make great contributions? No answer, is there?

Amazon forest being chewed to shreds; many plants and species never even cataloged. We are truly a pack of fools as a race of beings.
