[citation][nom]amdfangirl[/nom]Well it does sound like some school that wants people to notice just because of its name. For PR and the such.Or they decided that too 'expensive' to make things in China so they moved the plant to be worked on for free by schoolchildren. Given the media response to Jobs' death, you would have thought that Ghandi died or Jesus had been crucified on the cross. What should be remembered is my all time greatest hi-tech hero: Momofuku Ando (1910 - 2007) the inventor of the instant noodle. If there is a technology no student can live without it's the instant noodle. Oh well at least I can always hope for a Gary Gynax school of wizardary err...

You downplay his significance, but Steve Jobs has had an enormous effect on the world. Whether you like Apple stuff or not (I don't), you have to remember that a lot of people enjoy their devices, and a lot of devices made by competitors have been influenced (many times strongly) by stuff Apple has made. You're talking billions of people one way or another have been influenced.
So, the world reacted with sorrow. Where's the mystery?
The problem comes when you have people that think they know what everyone should buy, and think Apple isn't something they should. These unimportant ego tyrants are basically losers who haven't learned that if someone enjoys something more than something else, that's their right and they aren't retarded because we think disagree. It makes them happy, and something that makes people happy is good thing, not bad because we think it shouldn't. Jobs created a lot of items that made people happy. It's more than we will ever do.
