Steve Jobs Dead At 56

SoCalChris writes "Apple cofounder Steve Jobs was found dead in his Cupertino home this morning. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him — even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon."

Slashdot's Decline

[MightyMartian]

Let me guess, you had to wait for all those little voting people to click the plus sign on your stupid firehose before you could, you know, post probably the biggest tech-related story of the week, or the month for that matter.

Pathetic, Slashdot, absolutely pathetic. I mean, you let a stupid autism story get posted before the Steve Job's story.

At any rate, whatever you may have thought of his motives, the tech world has lost one of its towering figures. Condolences to his family.

Jobs lost on Obama watch.

unfortunately, this is an era where our freedoms are attempted to get restricted by many parties. private, or government. and, we have to toe a thin line of vigile if we want to keep them. i wish, it was otherwise. i want it to be otherwise.
