Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is dead.

He was one of those rare public figures I felt a really strong connection with.

Sure, an asshole and a jerk much of the time. But I don't know that I would ever have gotten into computer technology if it hadn't been for Jobs. I feel as though every Apple product is a reflection of some facet of his mind, and it was a quirky, crystalline mind, lithe and beautiful.

I feel a deep sense of loss.

I remember how pathetic Apple had become, in the late 90's/early 00's. They were hanging by a thread, and Steve Jobs came back, and had the vision, and the skill to completely transform Apple. Now dead at 56.

I'm a Mac user so I never though Apple had become sad and pathetic. I always thought they had a vastly superior product but it was another one of those cases where the public didn't get excellence. But no denying that Jobs diversification business model was genius, genius genius.

Though you gotta wonder why they bothered to make any announcement at all two days ago beyond, We'll be partnering with Sprint on new phones.
