Apple falls from the tree
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15193922
I'm in no way an Apple fanboy, but "visionary" doesn't seem too strong a word. Sad day. |

Re: Apple falls from the tree
Sobering. It doesn't matter how successful you are in life, or how much money you have, thee are some things you can't influence. A reminder to us all to enjoy whatever we have whenever we can, and be grateful to individuals such as this that they enabled us to do so.
RIP. |

Re: Apple falls from the tree
Overrated & over priced equipment, but the man changed the face of phones & computing, so I take my hat off to him. R.I.P.

Re: Apple falls from the tree
Everytime you see an iPod, iPhone or iPad (plus some if the other apple products he was involved with) and think 'Blimey - that is pretty incredible', it's all because of Steve. True innovator & showman on the wwdc events. Sad day

Re: Apple falls from the tree
Didn't like him, thought the products were overated and very much sows ears wrapped in silk.
But like Drew I agree they have influenced that sector and I hope he rests easy, his fight is over. |
