Apple will be holding a privatecompany wide celebration of Steve Jobs' life on Wednesday, October 19th. The event will take place on Apple's campus in Cupertino. Apple Retail stores will be closed for several hours during the event so that employees may view a live webcast of the service.

Rip SJ..
But I have to say, they put the fan's post online the day android comes up with icecream and a new super phone? Looks like they are using quite a dose of cinism here.
I'm sorry but this is not a very nice move, where did Apple's good taste ended?
Kudos to you, great Steve, we'll all miss you.
So you think Apple has an obligation to suspend their online memorial because some also-ran company is releasing a new knockoff phone? Unbelievable.
It makes me want to buy an iMac G4 and G3 (I've never had a classic mac yet).
When I have kids someday I will be proud to introduce them to Apple products.
Rest in peace Steve.
A simple one that really got to me:
I am so sad about Steve Jobs' death, he was my inspiration, someone who I wish I could be like.

Steve, you are a fighter. You've fought hard all your life, but now it is time to rest.

Thank you, Steve, for your vision, imagination and dreams... you are a great example of what human potential is capable of.

Rest in Peace.

Samsung&Google post poned their press conference for respect of SJ's death. You believe that? Seriously?
I don't recall bringing that up, but now you mention it, yes I do believe that actually. But I don't believe they did it out of respect for Steve. They did it because they didn't want a monumental event like his death to steal their thunder.
You talk of cynicism on Apple's part, while Samsung and Google blatantly rip off Apple's products, and then postpone their big launch day in a cynical PR move.

If you're going to post something clever and inappropriate - at least get the spelling right. Doesn't help your cause if your post demonstrates a level of illiteracy. ;)
Dear Apple Corporation... hahahahaha
No bad taste or inappropriate stuff here. Great judgement! :rolleyes:
Same here. Couldn't help but cry again after reading some of the messages, which reminded me of my early times with Apple products, and especially those dark years in the mid-90s when to have a Mac was to be the object of scorn.
Man, how the tables have been turned by Steve after his comeback...he will be deeply missed by the good people of this world.
You need a doctor.
