Personally, I was thinking it would be way cooler if a few million hackers got together and donated to cancer research in Steve Jobs' name. Steve isn't the only person who died too young from pancreatic cancer (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/) and it's still almost always a death sentence. I'd like to see the money go to basic research somewhere. What are the best cancer research institutes?

The "One More Thing..." fund? Steve probably would not approve, but hey, we're the ones who are going to miss out on another decade of Steve's product announcements. Can a few million hackers get together and help solve a big problem? Have computers, will fold...


Oh I'm sure Steve-sies wouldn't mind people donating to the "One More Thing..." fund. I mean, come on! It's his wife's organization.


Huh? I'm not talking about the college fund in the post. It's not called "One More Thing..." I'm talking about donating to a cancer research institute in Steve's name.


What do you mean by "The "One More Thing..." fund? Steve probably would not approve,"?
