An amazing man with a vision and a determination to make a difference. He changed how we all work, play and view technology. Thanks for all of it – I could not have asked for more.

Xeni, my heart goes out to you. I saw you on Rachel and was touched by your unfettered grief for a great man whose job above all was to not be satisfied with the status quo. To borrow from “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” Steve created a system that is far from perfect, but IT WORKS. I think the best testament to his legacy is a marketplace that is truly not satisfied with what is and will always want what should and must be the next step forward.

Steve found out what was at the core of the apple – the seed, and kept that seed alive to reiterate, over and over again, breeding more and more perfection. There is no death; there is only change. He’s still here.

I think a grave disservice is being done on boingboing. The deletion of so many posts was really offensive. BoingBoing was generally thought to be this kind of pro-DIY community, yet one of the greatest adversaries to DIY dies and we are not allowed to comment on that? I don’t think that’s fair.

Steve is dead, that’s really too bad, but please understand that his company and his attitude hurt a lot of people and many of us still feel the sting.

The estate of Albert Hoffman, inventor of LSD, has released correspondence with Steve Jobs, a keen advocate for and user of psychedelic drugs.

Boingboing, my heart soared and I had a huge grin on my face when I saw what you’re done with the site. A wonderful tribute that took me back to the mid-90′s when I changed from a shonky PC to a Mac.
So many on here have put things much better than I ever could, but as someone who has always appreciated the way an object becomes more than just a useful tool when it’s form is created as a thing of beauty instead of just being functional, my iPod, my PowerBook, my iPhone and my new Mac Mini could only have come from someone with a true vision of what could be, and the insightfulness to find the people to enable him to create those devises, in particular Jony Ive.
Thank you, Steve, for what you’ve given to the world. Rest easy, now.

I’m pretty sure I was admitted to grad school at UC Berkeley at least in part because I told the crusty old professor who was interviewing me that I could use a Macintosh computer. This was 1984. I’d been working in tech support, and the company had a couple of Macs (as well as a Lisa!).

Bought my first Macintosh from the campus computer store, and haven’t looked back… thank you Steve Jobs.

My dad died of the same cancer last year. Horrible untreatable cancer that kills people that are at full health and with full mental capacities (my dad was a non-smoker, liked to jog every day, didnt drink and was eating very healthy). Thats life for you.

Nice tribute, BB. I did my first corporate computer project on a Mac Plus with Excel and its’ 9″ black and white monitor. It just worked and I fell in love with the Mac then.
Thank you Steve Jobs for doing everything that you did so well!

Hmm, I watched Steve’s Stanford commencement address and found myself very moved by it. I especially liked the bits about connecting the dots in reverse. Does that make him a Heyoka –the sacred clown who does everything backwards so that people observing can think differently and learn?

I was definitely shocked to hear the news…the man definitely had a great mind. He was very bold and adventurous in his pursuit of defining the latest technological advancement. a different man…knew what he wanted to do and did it well.To be able to change the world..and affect millions of lives and their lifestyle…that is amazing.

omg, i just clicked over from my rss reader and saw the boing boing background, it’s awesome — i’m overcome with nostalgia. classic mac ftw. i’m kind of wishing i could turn on that old mac II again for old time’s sake. and then immediately put it on ebay. :)

it’s astounding how much one person can accomplish in a relatively short lifespan. it’s as if he burned life-fuel hotter and faster than the rest of us, like a ferrari. we plodders might live longer, but i dunno — you gotta envy that ride. it must have been amazing.

As a thank you and tribute to Steve, how about all iPhone/iPad users change their email signatures on them to “Sent from my iPhone created by Steve Jobs”?
