This particular speech of his touched me more.


[b]About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept.[/b]

[i]No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. -Steve Jobs

some pple live long and their existence could not be felt, while few live for a short period and their works are felt forever, Steve Jobs, Thanks for bringing Apple to our lives, U will be greatly missed!!!

Gone, but his works are alive. What a tremendous impact he has made. Only God knows the Crown that will awaiting him in heaven

Major loss to technology, RIP Steve

iJobs - iDie - iCasket - iRIP  

the world will miss you, me thinks he should be made the patron saint for ipods and iphones

apples are cursed

first, it was Adam

now, Steve

?

Simply cant imagine the values of your works. Even at your death, your works will for ever be used by us and will give Microsoft a tough time.

[b]THREE TYPES OF APPLES HAVE INFLUENCED THE WORLD.
1. ADAM AND EVE APPLE- where Adam was dumb enough not to listen to his creator and ate the forbidden apple recommended by Eve.
Adam was probably distracted by Eve's naked body. Some men are like that.

2. SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S APPLE; while taking shade under an apple tree after farming. An apple fell to the ground and Newton wondered why things always fell downwards to earth and did not float upwards to the sky.
After the idle minded Newton thought about this for over 20 years he came up with the UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them-blah blah blah.

Ok. So eventually Albert Einstein brushed aside the law with his own theory of Relativity insisting that nothing could be faster than light. And two weeks ago Einstein Relativity theory was also brushed aside by some nerds who found a particle faster than light. Oops. Am I digressing

3. STEVE JOBS'S APPLE; What can I say you dont already know by now; born out of wedlock, put up for adoption at birth, dropped out of university, and then changed the world.
His revolutionary products ushered in the next phase of human intelligence.

A LEGEND IS GONE. Hopefully, others will step up and raise their game.
Thats what the human kind is all about. Bye.
