    A sad day in the world of technology and Apple. A true visionary in his profession. Will be interesting to see where Apple is several years from now.

    Doesn't matter if you are a fan of Apple or not. From a business standpoint he was truely brilliant. To take a company that was all but dead and to turn it around into a global powerhouse is simply amazing.

    He stepped down as the head of Apple several months ago. The stock shouldn't get too hard. He's had cancer since 2004.

    Apple a day jokes should run rampant in the days to come, I'll abstain....though tempting.

    Prayers go out for his family, tough losing those close to you no matter how long they have had to prepare for this.

    I am sure they will see a slight drop but sure it will be minimal.

    Sad and a great entreprenuer and successful business man but I'm a little tired of treating him like he was some kind of saint. He was unique and one of a kind but please! Enough already!
