...am I the only one to wonder why there are so many Apple products / Jobs lovers (or at least repping one or both) on a Nokia / Linux forum?

I mean, that's the answer you were looking for, right?

Hey, as an American (okay, Russian born and for a while raised in Russia, who moved to American with his family mid-childhood)... nvm. Carry on.
But allow me to say on a serious now, that people are stupid everywhere equally. As for Steve Jobs, I understand the loss of a loved one as my mother passed away from cancer under half a year ago, so my sympathies go out to his family and friends.
What I don't sympathize with is the cult-level adoration and emotional investment that some Apple-product people put into the guy, who have surfaced after his death with teary eulogies and the like. People die every day. MANY of them are good speakers, marketers, visionaries in one field or another, etc. Respect them all equally and feel for them all equally.
But I DO agree with the sentiments made in some of the other posts here, saying that the man truly did change the game - we might not like his products or what he made Apple as a whole, but his ideas and vision with regard to computers and computer-like devices did have a notable impact on the tech markets most visitors to this forum are enthusiastic about. The least we can do is acknowledge the good parts of that impact.

guy bought it after a long fight with Cancer. condolences to the Family, now move on.
I'm watching idiots on TV putting flowers outside apple stores (where they'll end up on the bin out the back at closing time) and saying how their lives have been changed forever and things will never be the same now he's gone.
FFS, get a life, oxygen wasters.
All he did was make billions for himself, whilst using child (dare I say slave) labour to do it, and convince a whole bunch of technologically illiterate people that a mediocre peice of electronics was the most important thing in their lives.
How many people died in Syria today?
How many people died Libya today?
How many people died in the vietnam/thialand floods today?
who cares? Steve jobs dropped a week ago.
oh they still haven't released the iphone 5 yet. What am i going to do!!!!!!!!!
/end rant
