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.

Missed like a hernia.

You'd think that but no, it's his pancreas. Too soon?

Pro-tip: Tasteless jokes are usually tolerated because they're funny.

I heard not even an apple a day could save him.

Apart from STM's. They are just bad

That was the implication, yes.

Ah.

Fuck.

Not my joke, I just wanted to show there are worse ones out there.

No topic should be off limits to comedy. The only caveat is that it actually be funny. This requires that it also be true.

There’s a time factor involved too I think. The closer to the original tragedy it is, the more likely a joke will be taken badly, be it funny or not.

All the Apple Employees are getting pink slips, because now they're all Jobless.

Ba-zing.

Absolutely. This has always been one of my gripes with the Jobs' fanbase.

Having read through the entire thread, I was most disappointed that no one followed this up properly. Steve Jobs' personal wealth will go to his family, and/or whoever is outlined in his will.

Furthermore, not only did Steve Jobs completely decimate Apple's corporate philanthropy when he regained the helm, he never reversed that decision when Apple bounced back into the black - a promise he had made.

A lovely outpouring for a person who contributed nothing but to the creature comforts of those wealthy enough to afford his products.

Alcar...

This pretty much sums up my feelings:

(thanks, T-Nex)

I shared it on my wall from her :p

That picture has been bouncing around the 'nets since Jobs' death.

Much like Nathan, it sums up my feelings too.

Alcar...

Even though Ritchie didn’t die for a week after Jobs did?

Erk, I meant Ritchie.

Alcar...

I didn't even know he had died.
