Steve Jobs died on my birthday (yesterday) and of course the whole community was shocked. At first I thought it was just a joke, especially since Apple just announced their new iPhone. I thought people just took the advantage that Apple was getting some publicity and decided to misinform millions of people. This however, is true. As much as I cared about any Apple product (nothing, they all seem like over-priced silver rectangles to me) I guess this wasn't a shock to me. We knew he was sick and probably all thought of it at one point. What still seems strange to me was that he perished just two days after the iPhone 4S announcement! It seems strange that those events are too darn close, especially since Steve has been working on this type of stuff all of his life.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
As much of a pessimistic person as I am, I still like to find the good in most people. I mean, he did revolutionize the smart phone market. He created an image for his company that not many other companies can do. When people think of Apple, they think of iPod, iPhone, iOS, and Steve Jobs. Well it seems like Bill Gates has lost an old competitor (sigh). I don't really like Microsoft either, but that's my opinion. As much as I cared for Apple, Steve was a human being. He will be missed.
1st comment! Nice. I can hear your voice in this even though I have no idea who you are.
