Sarcastic, but unlikely.
He died knowing the company he built is one of the biggest in the world.
For a businessman, that must be a source of pride, not shame.0 -

well done
The man is dead
regardless off the opinion of Apple products0 -
R.I.P. isn't entirely appropriate seeing as Steve was a Buddhist. Something along the lines of "Hope you find peace in your next life" would be more fitting.0

Steve Jobs knew that, according to this 2005 quote from him:
"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 how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
"It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."0 -

Men that can change and advance their industry like he has done are few and far between. We might not all like Apple, but I think he will be sorely missed.
Thoughts with his family.
RIP Mr Jobs and thank you.
What like then?
What he was very good at was Marketing his company and its goods.And he was exceptional at that."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0 -
I may not like Apple products, but I very much respect the fact that this man gave the technology market the kick up the a** that it needed and the technological world would be much worse if he had not been around. He was a fantastic businessman and inspired a lot of others. He will be sadly missed.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
