Well, crap. That sucks. It sucks a lot.
-- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely. And if you do not use it wisely, make sure you thoroughly enjoy whatever unwise thing you are doing." - HymnOfRagnorok as Orochimaru at SpaceBattles woot Med. Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows 
May he rest in peace.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
— On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve
ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. --Steve Jobs from the 2005 commencement address he gave at Stanford "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." --Dr. Seuss
He may have been a bit of a dick (iOS walled garden, and it is said he governed Apple R&D with an iron fist), but his marketing genius and business acumen were damn near (if not actually and completely) unparalleled, and he rescued a fine company from the brink of an undeserved collapse. He will be missed.
[waytoosoon]This really sucks. America can't afford to lose Jobs in this economy.[/waytoosoon]
A year ago, it was Kon, and now pancreatic cancer takes Jobs. Ugh.
Pronounced "shy guy."

I guess Steve Jobs is a warrior business man and artist. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

*SIGH*
I just hope that Apple will only change for the better. It would suck if the company went down the tubes.

Double-post - Yuku's fault, not mine. (Every time I click on a Yuku link today, I get a blank page and have to reload to get the content. Could somebody file a bug report for me, please?)
