Because dying sucks.

But why? You either rot as a corpse or go somewhere different. So either you don't know you're dead or you do and you sure as hell have other things on your mind.

Ok the the thought of dying sucks.

No, I'm pretty sure dying of cancer sucks. My mother has told me enough about my nana's last few weeks to make me certain of this.

It does, I've lost several family members to cancer. It's a horrible, prolonged and drawn-out way to die. It's also horrible for relatives and friends to witness, too.

Still, I don't feel sorry for Jobs 'cause I didn't know him. But he's luckier than most because he's left a big legacy. And I guess that's an important thing to try and do with your life.

Yeah, this. Shame he died, but his company has annoying ads. RIP, Steve Unemployeds.

Also this ^

That's not really dying though; that's suffering due to illness. Which is what Steve Jobs had been doing for years without any massive outpouring of sympathy.

I look at dying as being seperate to the illness that caused it. When my grandmother died of cancer, it was more of a relief than anything else that her suffering was now over.

What a shame. RIP. I heard he was having health problems before he left apple. I guess it was only a matter of time.

There’s still that element of knowing “this is killing me, I’m dying from this”. It’s one thing suffering from pain, it’s a whole other thing suffering from a fatal pain.

I'd prefer a death I don't see coming.

Being hit by a stray bullet miles away while minding my own business and killing me instantly would be alright.

I would like to die smothered in alien bitches after saving the universe.

Stop playing Mass Effect you!

I only played the first one, it was mediocre.

I just bought a Macbook Pro today, I've just made this post from it.

Why not a PC?

Only laptops with a decent build quality, plus I have the money, plus it's best for what I need it for. I did ask if they could give me a discount for Steve Jobs death but they said no.

Also the particular Apple shop I visited in Cardiff had flowers and sticky notes on it with messages to do with Steve Jobs death.

Bastard, I was going to say that.

Well I knew that jokes are going to start to go round but this one that someone said at collage today was just plain stupid.

"Have you seen the new Apple product? Its called The iDied."

He was shunned all day.

Really? Why not make jokes? They are highly impersonal and actually help people get over periods of trauma so long as the person being joked about isn't too close. I mean that's not even the worst one, I can think of at least two that are nastier than that. =/

At least make clever jokes. “iDied/iDead” etc. are just dumb.

What's black and doesn't work? That's all I can muster right now.

If you want jokes just check Facebook.

An African-American? badum tsss

I really don't get that joke. Probably because I never owned an iPhone or any of those fancy Apple gizmos.

I hate Apple.

I may have mentioned this.

Yeah, I can't imagine owning anything else from them other than an iPod.

For all the comical blustering I do while working on them, I don’t hate them all that much. I could definitely see myself owning an iMac or Macbook.

But even if you don’t like them, losing Jobs is still monumental. He and Apple have had a huge influence on the entire tech industry for years.

I'm exacally the same. I hate Apple's adverts most of all.

Poor Steve D= He will be missed dearly.
