^^Agreed. To cast aside the death of any innocent man is a crime. Steve Jobs was an innovator who helped change the face of the world we live in and died at a very young age due to a rare disease. It makes it a little more personal than a total stranger dying, because he had touched my life in some way, but even if he was a total stranger, you shouldn't cast aside his death as if it is meaningless.
As for denying any respect to Steve Jobs's death because individuals overseas aren't getting any news time... that's a shameful thing to do in and of itself. You think Steve told the news to not report on the death of soldiers, or had his hand in the matter in any way? Highly improbable. Let's go ahead and disrespect a man because a corrupt organization isn't doing what pleases us. That makes sense.
