Absolutely stunning news. So sad, so young! To have achieved so much, and be cut short from life, is a genuine tragedy.

Indeed a sad day. But both men have left amazing legacies and transformed the terrain not just of business- but for art and life itself. Most importantly they've shown how much can be accomplished when you have no fear and simply create and innovate.

Rest in peace and thank you from Planet Earth.

Very sad, even though we knew it was coming. This should be a reminder to all of us that we need to enjoy as much of life while we can... tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Every year for the last few years i couldnt wait for his presentations...
no more... :( ...Maybe it sounds stupid but in my opinion i think Steve
Jobs is the person that actually changed Humanity...the way of life,
most likely even more then Einstein and others.


Exactly!

Quite a huge loss indeed. In both cases pioneers to say the least. What is amazing to me is how long that Steve Jobs was able to battle pancreatic cancer. I live in a very small community and two of my neighbors both were taken down by pancreatic cancer. They were both in their sixties and were very active. One lasted about 5 years, that is well beyond normal. My other neighbor lasted about 4 months after being diagnosed.

I feel that Kato led Korg in a similar style to the mega successful Steve Jobs. I feel bad for both of their families. Their ideas, innovations, and influences will certainly be missed.

He made this world better. I'm typing this on my iPhone now, then I will work in the office with my MacBook Pro, in the evening I will relax using my iPad... - and I can make music with any of them if I want.

Steve and Apple helped creative people, musicians, a lot. His work is with us. He will be missed. R. I. P.

A truly great man has left us. Not only did he change they way we work, but also the way we spend our leisure time. (And beautifully packaged at that.)

Think different.

Always.

Immensely sad to hear of Steve's passing. What change he has given us all! A man who did 'think different'.

Great Apple advert here that he narrated but was never aired - its content is true of those featured, but is also true for Mr Jobs.
