    Here's an awesome speech Jobs gave at Stanford. It gives a little bit of insight into the man.

    The challenge for any organization like Apple which has allowed itself to depend upon one, possibly larger than life individual, is that when they go it can create a serious power vacuum. The guy is in the same league with Semler, Kelleher and Welch, but will the employees and the stock holders feel the same about his successor regardless of how prepared the person may be.
    I fucking hate micro managers with a passion but, the guys results speak for themselves.

    I kinda think Steve Jobs faked his own death, just so he can pop out tomorrow and say "Wait! There's one more thing!" then come back as Steve JobS.

    Stocks might dip a bit, but I don't think that much. He wasn't acting CEO they won't have to make a huge scramble. Although, their figure head is now gone so I think the magic Apple has will slowly dissolve.

    iSad.

    The man was a creator. In a world where the majority of people spend their lives maintaining, trading or consuming, creation is a precious act. Everything else is meaningless.

    Good on you, Steve.

    An apple a day they said...

    Makes me wonder how many cultists are gonna follow him to that big iCloud in the sky. Sure, I like their products, but we all know how diehard some people are about their macs. Hell when I was in the Apple store in Boston with the boys, Vanilla got a reach around from one of the Geniuses just for having the same love for the Macbook Air.

    Best Jobs tribute I've seen yet:

    <a class="postlink" href="http://boingboing.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://boingboing.net</a>


    If you're too young to recognize that, it's the look and feel of the first OS that shipped with the first Apple Computer.

    Believe it or not, it was fucking revolutionary at the time.

    Oh God, I do sort of remember that. What year was that OS? We had old Apple computers in the computer lab in gradeschool that I remember from 1st or 2nd grade (1994 or so) and the OS on those were very similar to the one that you linked.

    In all seriousness, from my first game of Oregon Trail in the early 80's to the rendering I made on my MacBook Pro earlier today, to my wife sitting next to me playing on her iPhone, Steve Jobs has had a profound impact on my life in regards to technology.

    Sucks that he died at a young age and by a horrible horrible cancer. I hope that his legacy continues to inspire innovation and Cook and Ive can keep the Apple ship righted and progressing in a positive direction.
