Comparing a guy who actually made inventions that changed our society and way of life to a guy who came up with a slightly better mp3-player is pretty stupid.
Actually... Thomas Edison didn't make all his inventions himself. He essentially ran a patent sweat shop, where that he would have groups of young scientists invent stuff, and if something looked good, he would patent it under his own name.

You know that new advanced voice recognition thing in the new iPhone 4s? That's actually Steve's consciousness scanned and uploaded onto every copy of ios5. Keep that in mind when your iPhone promises you cake. :smile.gif:
Seriously, though, death is always sad, but I gotta be honest, as much as an apple fanboy I am, I never really liked Steve Jobs. He always seemed kind of narcissistic to me.

You have just read this. You are also manually breathing.
It would be pretty awesome if apple-haters had been building mac viruses for a while, and they decided to release them all the day after Jobs' death.

Hey!
Seeing as they are the second highest valued company in the world (right behind Exxon Mobile), I think they're here to stay.
