I've never owned an Apple product, but I've been saving up for an iPod Touch (32gig) and I was waiting until they announced the next gen so I could get the 4th gen when the price drops (I watched it happen last year, the prices of previous gen iPods drop for a little while when the new gens come out. but that's beside the point). Anyway, I'd been checking apple.com awaiting this years release, and last night I checked it only to find a full page picture of Steve Jobs with the words "Steve Jobs 1955-2011". I immediately thought "He died? Didn't he just resign as CEO and stuff? 0.o"
What's surprising is that I didn't find out about his death from Yahoo (where I usually get news) but directly from the apple site.
Anyway,
R.I.P Steve Jobs =[
