Im right by you all the way Al
They certainly can. As much as I can call them faggots for doing it.

to me its just the latest gadget.
did people mourn when the inventor of Pong died? No, we don't even know his name.
what did the iphone really do? wasn't it just the first touch screen with fancy zoom finger movement that people wanked over?

You're missing the point really. His genius was in taking something everything else can do (in most instances better) and marketing the shit out of the product.
The brand 'Apple' from the day he first became involved to the uber-cool must be seen with brand that it is now is undeniably incredible.

As with any death its a tragic loss, and the guy can be thought of in great stead for what he did to Apple, but all this hype is yet another example of fanboyism at its greatest
Bang on the money. Alas in today's world it seems some people are desperate to be seen mourning some bloke who's pocketed shit loads of cash for nothing that saved lives or cured illnesses.
I wouldn't wish death on him but all this fawning over this fella and his ilk is a bit daft imho.

To those just saying its just another person.
I would say that Steve jobs have changed the way more people in the world live than virtually anyone else, certainly more than any politician has done
The whole a PC is not just a grey box
Mobile internet revolution
Mobile music revolution
Mobile revolution
Without Him and Apple all of these things would be years behind where it is now.

Oh whoopee doo, he made your computer go a bit faster. Tell you what, let's all have a whip round for his family shall we?
I don't think anyone did compare him to a politician, but seeing as you mentioned it how about Mo Mowlam for example?
Pretty much responsible for bringing peace to Northern Ireland. I mean obviously that's absolutely fuck all compared to knocking up some new computers/a mobile 'phone and making shit loads of money.
Most politicians are only out for what they can get and to score as much money as possible for themselves. A bit like your mate from Apple, oddly enough.

Who?
Are you making things up so you can come away with that statement? Far as I can see there's plenty of RIP's and not a lot of heartache.
Probably aimed at the fucks that are standing outside Apple stores (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15195444) crying.
Be interesting to see if Gates and Murdoch get the same response; they have too revolutionised technology etc
