I don’t know much about A. Sachs, save for this one, memorable quotation attributed to the man: “Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives”.

Indeed, the percentage of people essentially living on borrowed time is carved in stone (a hundred percent) while it’s anyone guess what the percentage of people on the planet is who are ‘truly living’ – and even then everyone has their own definition as to what that constitutes.

As we approach the end of 2011, at least according to the Gregorian calendar, I thought it would be good to take some time to commemorate some people who’ve passed away this year, but have lived enough to make an impact on the tech industry – and more broadly, the world – before they did.

Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)

What is left to be said about this brilliant innovator, this pure trailblazer, who has managed to both spark and transform entire industries during his lifetime? Not everything the man touched turned to gold, but he will long be remembered as one of the greatest inventors of our time, and then some.

Jobs’s renowned attention to detail, business talents, ability to focus and relentless drive should and will serve as inspiration for many generations of entrepreneurs to come.

Dennis Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – October 12, 2011)

What would all of us be doing if it weren’t for esteemed computer scientist dmr, responsible for the creation of the C programming language and co-invention of the UNIX operating system?

After his death, computer historian Paul Ceruzzi said it best in my opinion: “Ritchie was under the radar. His name was not a household name at all, but… if you had a microscope and could look in a computer, you’d see his work everywhere inside.”

SLAYER founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman — who in January contracted necrotizing fasciitis, likely caused by a spider bite, and has been undergoing surgeries, skin grafts and intense rehab since — spoke to U.K.’s Classic Rock magazine about his recovery which has seen him sit out an entire year’s worth of touring with the band.

Liongate Vice Chairman Michael Burns was interviewed by CNBC recently.  And while the conversation leaned heavily on the potential merger between Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment, Burns talked about the future of a few film properties, including one successful franchise involving one Jigsaw.

SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor has been on a solo tour for the past few weeks, combining acoustic performances with audience interaction and readings from his book “Seven Deadly Sins”. But Taylor has raised eyebrows on the tour by calling STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland a “lazy piece of shit” at one stop and bashing legendary producer Rick Rubin (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SLAYER, AUDIOSLAVE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, METALLICA) — with whom he worked on SLIPKNOT’s 2004 album, “Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)” — as “overrated” and “overpaid” at another, saying he’d never work with Rubin again “as long as I fucking live.”
