One person that’s trending very strongly at the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) today is the genius, Steve Jobs. With his peaceful demise the other night, people can’t keep from sharing their thoughts about him with the untimely loss of his ingenuity. Most people around the world have offered their loving tribute for this brilliant man; an icon in his own realm, certainly one who had transformed the perception of similar industries. No doubt, this man has had an immense influence in mankind’s rapid and multi-faceted digitized communication.

I’ve expressed my thoughts about the ingenuity of this man at my other blog, 
The Fool on the Hill. This time, I wish to share all the touching thoughts and tribute that Apple fans and non- Apple fans alike who have poured out their eulogies at PC Mag.
Here it goes:
“Three Apples changed the world: the one that Adam ate, the one that fell on Newton, and the one that Steve Jobs created.”
—Pradeep Kumar Mittapally
“Every so often, the stars align to create individuals that really impact the world in a uniquely special way. Steve Jobs was one such individual. I reflect on the joy of using Apple products that not only brought a lot of pleasure to my life, not to mention productivity, but also a sense of what all things on planet earth should be like. I write these few words on my MacBook Pro with my iPad attached and my iPhone 4 at my side. As I look at these products, I am reminded that only Apple could have brought these products to life: the simplicity of design, the elegant beauty, and the fact that the products simply work. Not to be forgotten is the greatest customer service of any company on the planet.”
—BeckleMic
“I can’t help but think of the contrast between Steve Jobs’ way of doing business and Wall Street’s. Jobs created new and useful products. Wall Street creates financial stacked decks. Jobs led with design and quality, supported by marketing. Wall Street and most U.S. consumer companies lead with marketing or finance and pit the engineers against the accountants—design and quality be damned. Jobs should be held up as a business ideal. No more ‘Of course you must have a good product, now let’s move on to finance and marketing.’ Harvard Business School, are you listening?”
—gtogto
“It’s difficult to imagine what our lives would have been without Steve Jobs’ innovations. In my opinion he was a great Innovator and a Passionate Maverick who revolutionized the technology industry through his breathtaking miraculous products. In simple words he was a pure GENIUS and a CREATOR.”
—Praveen Javehrani
“Steve Jobs changed my world. My first PowerBook 150 opened the whole Apple universe to me. My whole career has been Apple-focused, whether working for Apple Retail and showing people how easily they can do things on a Mac or iOS device, to user experience and usability, how to make other products as easy to use as Apple products. He set the bar high and showed everyone that it is possible to achieve wonderful things if you let yourself do it. I’m still learning from Steve.”
—Kim Hiland-Belding
“I salute to the Great Innovator and Creator of 21st century, Mr. Steve Jobs. You made the world think Differently and work Smartly. Thank you very much for giving us Apple!
The world will remember you for ever for what you did and gave.”
—Arun Singh
“Steve Jobs was the Ben Franklin of our time. He changed the world with his innovative genius. There are few places in our world that have not been improved by the technology he brought to market. RIP Steve Jobs—who will ever be able to replace you?”
—Denise Cargill
“I keep thinking of one oft-used word that hasn’t shown up yet in the tributes to Steve Jobs: maverick. If anyone deserved that title it was him. It was probably the title he would have been most proud of too.”
—Jim Eshleman
“Even us non-Apple fans have to admit that Jobs was one heck of a leader and a brilliant marketer, designer, engineer, and visionary. No one took tech to the masses quite like Apple in the last decade.”
—Catherine Blakeney
“I, like many, owe an awful lot to Steve Jobs. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t even own my home. Bought my first Apple Mac 128 in 1984. Learned computer programming and eventually made a living programming on the Macintosh. Thank you.”
—Steve Breish
“He was part of my generation, part of my bringing up and then all the marvelous wonders he brought to market, and changed the way the world conducts communications, looks at computers and looks at technology… I mean, it hurts to see his passing, a passing of an icon of our age.”
—Chuck Linden
What about you? You wanna share how Steve Jobs has influenced and inspired you?

I am really saddened by this news. No doubt that Steve Jobs’ has left a legacy in his industry. I actually heard the news from a visiting Korean friend last night. She really shouted it out loud informing everyone in the house about the death of Steve Jobs… Lisod pa jud kaau sabton kay Koreana kaau…
May he rest in peace!

Me too, Rovie. But that’s life. We will all have our time just that Steve Jobs had his time ahead of us.

@KM,
YW KM.
That passage from the Bible was quoted by Pradeep Kumar Mittapally. Don’t know where he got that, hehe.
It’s always a pleasure swinging by your blog and reading through your posts. I love how you articulate things out. Not too many bloggers can write as proficiently as you do
You actually got me hooked.
Yes, I do collect postcards, KM. I’ve sent you an email via the account you’re using at the blogs. My postal details is there too
I would so much love to receive one from you. *Giggles in excitement*
WOW! Ang lapit na pala ng grand vacay mo. I wish I live near Manila so we could meet up
Hugs back to you, KM!

He’s a great and visionary man indeed. But I guess, the only part of his works and legacy that has any real influence on me is Pixar Studios, which started to make some fabulous animated movies some times after he bought it. Too bad I could never taste the sophisticated technology of Apple, since it is way too “luxurious” for me.

@BruNo,
You said it, Bruno. I didn’t know about Pixar Studios. Thanks for that substantial input and very interesting piece of information.
I hear you about Apple being too luxurious. It’s not for me too
I’d prefer spending my dime on something more essential

yeah…I agree Steve Jobs made our life easier by his great innovation in technology.

Hi, I’m here again. Can I ask how you added the visitor’s latest article in your submit a comment? It’s a nice touch to a blog and I wish I could have it too. I was trying to figure it out with commentluv but to no avail.
Would it be so harsh to say that he got me interested in purchasing an iPad2. I was hoping to have one by Christmas. But alas, it’s so pricey I can’t afford it without compromising my Christmas presents list
