Steve Jobs (13)

Posted by Tanos on Thu 6 Oct 11, 12:54 AM to Tanos's blog.

I fell in love with computers themselves again thanks to him. What an outstanding life: Apple, then seeing the potential of Xerox PARC's work and building the Lisa and the Mac, NeXT, PIXAR, then Apple again, and the flood of changes to our lives flowing from his return.

He is also being described as the (or certainly one of the) most successful business leaders worldwide ever, having brought Apple from being in the red to currently being one of the most successful companies ever. He was visionary enough to set Apple up to withstand his departure, the question is whether Apple can develop something beyond next generation versions of the iPod, iTunes, iPad and iMac without him. Only time will tell. There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood, I know I could always be good, to one who'll watch over me (Ella Fitzgerald)

Just goes to show that no matter how rich or brilliant we are, it means nothing without our health. c xx Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine. There ain't no answer.

We've lost a man with the potential vision to change the world and he did but the foundations have been laid...rest well Steve and watch in wonder as the world follows your legacy.
