Give people a moment. Steve Jobs has been a very prominent figure in the high-tech industry for 4 decades, since the dawn of the personal computer. He has not only watched but in many cases husbanded the transformation of the computer from an industrial device to a personal computer to sci-fi worthy pocket and tablet computers. His passing is worth a few hours of minor inconvenience in discussing other topics on HN (just advance to the next page or two, it's not exactly a chore).
