is there a date for when he died? like, not to sound too cynical, but did Apple purposefully withhold this information until the day after its announcements?

The flags were held at half mass last night at Apple's campus. I thought it funny cause nothing was announced. Couldn't say I wasn't expecting it.

For a man I never knew he definitely touched my life and countless others out there. He'll be missed.

11.31am: Customers at the Apple Store in Sydney have been left stunned by news of Jobs's death.

"I'm a big Apple fan- everything I have is Apple. It's definitely a sad and somber day for the whole company. But I think Jobsie and his legacy will live on forever. He built such an amazing company. If you mention the word apple people will only think of two things, a computer and the fruit. To be able to generate a business like that is amazing. I think maybe the share price will drop a little bit- but loyal customers will still be there so it wont take long for them to rebound and I think theyll probably go from strength to strength." - Dan Sommer, 33
"Obviously, as we saw with yesterday's product launch- the products won't be as good," - Michael Christofides, 30

11.24am: Danny Hart, manager of the Apple Store, Sydney, said they were planning to pay their own respects to Steve Jobs.

"There will be a link on our website so people can send personal messages. Obviously it is a very difficult time for us and that's all I can say."

In other news, his official biography will be delayed again for a couple of months to fit the 200-page final chapter. That author has to be one of the luckiest guys on the planet.

i guess i knew the virtual votives for St Steve would be ridiculous but now that it's actually here, i'm gagging. People really have no idea what sheep they are sometimes. I mean, this is all just MARKETING. They love their gadgets more than anything meaningful, and they have been taught by ads and Apple conferences to attach that love to a person called Steve Jobs.

I am obviously not calling the man's achievements into question. But the 'Cult of Apple' has never been more apparent than today.

And whats all this John Lennon shit? What did he ever do? Jobs is 10x the man John Lennon was. Jobs gave me OSX, Lennon wrote a lot of horseshit music

Just fer example, top of Google News right now:

''Steve Jobs Day' Poised to Become a Memorial'
'Little did a small group of fans know that declaring "Steve Jobs Day" on Oct. 14 would have such a potential impact.
With Apple's announcement of former chief executive Steve Jobs' death at 56, the declaration of Steve Jobs Day - the day that the iPhone 4S goes on sale - has taken on additional poignancy. And the Facebook page dedicated to the event has become one of the first online memorials in the wake of Jobs' passing, besides Twitter, where the "RIP Steve Jobs" hashtag has dominated the online medium.'

I mean, fine, I guess? It's their time, they feel grief, they want to express it with their like-minded peers, doesn't hurt anyone...but my god, this is a CEO we're talking about. This is abnormally misdirected love.

Sad about Steve Jobs. On par with Henry Ford, Carnegie and Edison.

This is quite sensible, although Edison is a bridge too far. This is what he was really good at: Business and marketing, with a bit of invention on the side.

People are basically attributing all of 20th/21st century culture to him. Artists, writers, movie-makers all gushing about how Jobs made everything they do possible. Nonsense. It would all have happened without him, with the likely exception of Pixar (which is a huge accomplishment of course). It's not like Photoshop can't run on PC, people. Or that mp3 players would never have become popular without iPods. What, we'd all still be listening to tape Walkmans or Minidisc players?
