Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 5, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 5, 2011 Sad news, but not unexpected as people have said above. From Pixar to iPod to iPhone/Pad, his ideas have kind of shaped quite a few aspects of my life. I know not everyone likes Apple stuff, but I do. RIP.

David Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's always a shame to hear of anyone dying quite young, so you have to feel for his family.
