1955 - 2011


Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.
Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend
and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built,
and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

That sucks.


Let the bridges I burn light the way. You are special, just like everybody else. Calling an illegal alien an ‘undocumented immigrant’ is like calling a drug dealer an ‘unlicensed pharmacist’

Steve Jobs really was a true visionary. It always amazed me how whenever Apple tried to put some distance between itself and Jobs, the company would start to fall apart beginning with stock prices, and when Jobs was back in the picture, the stock value would rise and Apple would move forward. I think part of Steve Job's success was probably that he loved what he was doing. He had the privelege of living in the right time in the right place where his talents could get their maximum use. There are a lot of executives in the computer industry willing to pick up the slack, but I doubt any of them can ever truly replace Jobs.

What a Legacy... RIP Steve Jobs!  His name will always be synonymous with Genius and Visionary for me at least.   My condolences go out to his Family and Friends.

Because I'm sure someone else at Apple was jealous of Jobs and put his feelings ahead of the company.  When they started having trouble, the others probably told the jealous one to "Get Over Yourself" and called Jobs back!


 


This is what I'm thinking.  You can't have a company that big without having a few inflated egos at the helm!

Very sad. A true innovator with style. His like will not quickly be seen again.


It seems like the brightest stars often burn out the soonest

His life didn't flash before his eyes.


Apple doesn't support flash.

RIP.


Stopped by the Apple Store in the mall today to pay homage.


...


And of course look at all those fancy iPads and everything, and make myself jealous.
