^ This.  Apple may not be the best, but they've almost always been the first.  We wouldn't have a fraction of the technology we have today if it wasn't for the advances Steve Jobs made with Apple.  The world owes him a great deal.
I think you're overstating his influence a bit too much. Apple is not almost always the first; they're simply almost always the first at popularizing a certain type of technology. And I have no doubt that had they not existed, someone else would have taken their place.

Still, RIP.

what has Apple innovated? Mp3 players? Tablet computers? Touch screens?—these existed long before their Apple versions came out.
Uh. Apple made them usable - and affordable - for the public, common users and non-tech-savvy users. Smartphones and tablets were like "oh nobody is ever going to use that shit" in the general public. Apple made them popular. Tablets existed before the iPad, but they weren't exactly flooding the market, first because it was way too expensive, second because it was unusable shit - because Apple's versions also pushed forward the kind of things the tech-unfriendly public could do with those.
I'm not an Apple fan at all (I have nothing from them and I don't give a damn about fancy popular new tech, my cellphone is over 6 year old and I salvaged it only because my father didn't need it anymore), but I did see a very significant change with the iPhone and the iPad all around me.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

He was pretty much the dude solely responsible for phones having wifi. Admittedly, someone else would have done it, but about 2 years later. Think about the kind of advances that technology gave us in the past two years.

...now realize that phone wifi capability is the reason for data plans costing so much.

He was an innovative man, a good businessman, may he rest in peace. For better or worse, his influence won't be forgotten.

Changed the title.

It is indeed an exageration to compare him with those people.
As many have said, I've never had an apple device, but I do respect the guy for what he did, he didn't changed my life but I'm pretty sure his company did changed it for some people out there.

Thank you!

An iPad is just an iPhone with a bigger screen, that's all (plus, you can't call with it).

The journalists from the Apple sect/followers really need to stop making comparisons between Jobs and Newton/Einstein, it's boring and completely stupid. He was a genius in his own way, but nothing like Einstein. his primary goal was making money as the CEO of Apple. Yes, Apple has popularized smart phones, tablets and all, but people should stop thinking he's the genius who created them. First, they existed before (even though, as Byakko said, he made them more user friendly. But still, Blackberry is much older), and second, he wasn't alone in a cave to create them, more like having tons of engineers working 80 hours per week to design the products that would be manufactured in China by little kids, before being sent back to Europe and US, sold 3 times more expensive than other products, but all hyped up so people would buy them.

What sickens me is seeing Apple fans going in front of Apple shops to put flowers. WTF is that !? Are you just showing your fanatism for consumerism ? He was a goddamn CEO who made nice looking shiny stuff, that's all ...

Now, that's how we feel about the iProducts which is indeed hit or miss, there's no middle ground.

Jobs himself ... was a great businessman who made shiny stuff. He knew how to place his products as commodities. He had great vision for business, and thus died a blillionaire. He founded Pixar, which meant a shitload of money to Disney's shareholders, and many fond Toy Story memories for everyone.

So yeah, he was the Newton, the Gutenberg ... of moneymaking, and making people buy his stuff. RIP Steve Jobs, man who gave casual consumers something to aspire to - gadgets with a less than 1 year lifetime, precursor of great business models to be implemented by other consumer product business conglomerates (Capcom, I'm looking at your MVC3)

  • the salmon asparagus omelette sandwich of destiny.
The man created an evil army of techno zombies satiated only by the tiniest of upgrades(would do anything he commanded)  and was the CEO of one of the largest conglomerates ,whose wealth rivaled that of some 1st world countries. Who knows what would have happened if his plans hit their final stages. Military mobilzation? The U.S. becomes a shattered union once more? Annexation of Canada? Alliance with China? The destruction of flash media? WW3? He would have become a tyrant that no one would been able to stand up to.

It's not three devices in one any more than my laptop is you morons. Using Jobs' loose definition of what constitutes a separate device, technically my laptop can be considered 8 devices in one:

    A clock
    A calculator
    An "Internet communications device"
    A phone (I can make voice calls with my modem)
    A pornographic media storage device
    A video player
    A word processor
    And an "iPod"

very big ass motherfucking phone you got there pal!
