Probably did effect him, he probably held on to see it announced and let go afterward.

Its a little weird hearing folks who just yesterday complain about those "greedy rich ceo's" come close to tears over an actual greedy rich ceo.

I feel bad for anyone who has to go what he went through and I feel bad for his family.
As for his legacy....its just "stuff"

They seem to only be rich and greedy CEOs if they operate something we need (or at least feel we need). Bank CEOs are greedy because we need banks for loans and to hold our wealth. Insurance CEOs are greedy becuase people need health insurance. How dare they charge for a service.

Peple don't need the I-whatever5sv2.8. Nor do people need to go to a starbucks and spend extra for coffee. So those CEOs are okay.

Eh, I despise when people use the street as their personal racetrack, and never had reason to like the guy, but I'm genuinely sad about 101lifts. Life is full of contradictions and gray areas.

Jobs is someone who's been with Apple a very long time, and demonstrated personal involvement and vision that had an impact on the whole company & its products.

Compare that with the "average" CEO, who only serves for 2 years and then bails, and who never provides a game-changing vision. They just toss around the standard lines they picked up from a management book.

Always been an Apple/Mac fan since my first computer as a kid. I hope they can continue to make good products. By all accounts Steve was an asshole but you have to respect what he was able to do.

Never been a fan of the iPod or iPhone lines, but I may decide to test out this whole macbook thing once the bank account grows a bit and my Sony lets go.

Cancer sucks. Rip Steve.
