He's dead. I'm the kind of sad that comes from losing someone you respect from a distance.
wow, so fast. probably better than slow. My 13yo told me. I came here to check.
I always loved this. Not really a tribute to Jobs' achievement per se, but a kind of pointer to just how much he achieved that he and his products could be parodied in this way.

pancreatic cancer....... symptoms don't appear until it's too advanced to cure? So why aren't we screening everyone for it? like boobie cancer and prostate cancer?
lung cancer too. By the time you notice a little trouble breathing, it's already taking up a third of your lungs and has spread.

Because they don't have a distinctive enough ribbon color. Like 100 different causes and diseases share purple.
I'm guessing there isn't a good screening test.
I'm seeing that they can see it on MRI..... am I misled?

yebbut, there are occupations and activities that flag you for this disease. Incidence is rare (but not unheard of) in others (RIP Vada Murray) ...and I think it doesn't show on most tests until it's too late...?

He was a visionary. I hope Apple can carry on.
Snarky faux-newspaper The Onion manages to write a joke article about the death of Steve Jobs that humorously honors the man:
Last American Who Knew What The Fuck He Was Doing DiesThe Onion nails it again.
faux-newspaper
See, I read that as "fox newspaper" now...
Truth in humour there.
This is what capitalism is supposed to be like. Guy (causes his company to...) makes cool gadgets we haven't had before, and gets rich doing so. So much better than shuffling numbers around so that the hnumbers build up nnext to your own name.
But yet ... brains, drive, connections, and heaps of money ... and even he still couldn't beat cancer. Fuck cancer.
