How many cops have been busted thanks to Steve Job's iPhones?

A lot, that's for sure.

The iPhone is bringing down governments the world over. Even if governments do exploit it's technology to spy on people, people exploit it's technology to spy on the government.

I don't think I've ever once bought an Apple product, but people love them, he made computers hyper simple and introduced millions and millions of people to an incredible technology they otherwise probably never would have tried.

What a shame he is now dead!

RIP Steve Jobs! - Chris, InfoLib

Will he receive the sort of veneration reserved to politicians when they die? That’s unlikely, although Steve Jobs typically did more good for humanity every day before lunch time than any politician has ever done in his whole life.

Jobs should be considered a great American icon in the same way that Michelangelo is associated with Italy or Mozart with Austria.

When foreigners walk into “American-themed” gift shops in America, they should be greeted with commemorative plates bearing Jobs’s face.

Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen since we have to honor great humanitarians like nuker-in-chief Harry Truman instead.

And of course, Jobs did great things for all humans, and not just Americans.

Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs.
