Very very sad day of my life. He was superb. His ten principles were fantastic. He sure did leave a good team behind. something didn't seen OK at yesterday's presentation. Looked very sombre from what I could gather form the live feeds on my computer. They didn't say things like "We feel excited... etc. etc."

This is so sad yet I'm grateful to have grown up experiencing the "disruptive" technologies he created.... A college dropout who went back for a semester to take calligraphy... Writing from my Mac.... RIP.....

Damn. It was his world we lived lived in. He was a magician who turned technology into joy. I recall bringing the first Mac into an office filled with IBM PCs... and watching people's expressions as they moved icons around the screen for the first time instead of typing c:\payfile\comsum > c:\bullcrap (or something like that). I knew then that I was watching the future of personal computing. Then came the iPod, iPhone and iPad... yeah, we had Walkmans, cell phones and tablets... but Steve Jobs transformed them into magical works of art. As Steve once asked Pepsi's John Scully... "Do you want spend your life peddling sugar water or do you want to change the world?" Steve changed the world. That world has lost a genius. While thankful for having experienced his visions, one can only wonder what the next 20 years would have wrought had he lived a life in full.... Steven Jobs has died.
