R.I.P. Steve Jobs

Everyone should listen to his Stanford speech...there is more to his story than many people appear to know.

RIP Steve

And I'm happy to record that this message...

He was a visionary....hate to say it but Apple will rot without him...RIP Steve....

If it does that will reveal a great flaw in Steve. If the success of a company in a position such as Apple is, is down to one man, that would be rather tragic. Personally I doubt that will be the case but we will never know for sure. If things go wrong for APple people might blame that as the reason but I think the 'Apple way' has rubbed off onto other companies who will grow more competitive with or without Steve around at Apple. I don't think Steve would have worked at Apple, knowing of his possible fate, and working in a manner where APple cannot continue as successfully if he died.

Some products were innotative but I didn't go much for the Apple culture myself. A great marketing machine and Steve the person was part of that so maybe some people would stop buying products because he's not part of the image anymore. The company has a trendy image, and naturally people want to try somethinig different too (ie, not Windows). I have looked at Apple machines in the past but always found better value, and compatibility elsewhere. As for phones, never had one - I need a decent battery life and not a small device to build my life around (as many seem to )

Anyway, it's sad he died as it is for anyone else who dies young/relatively young but that's life.

Read some less than positive things about him in the paper. Nightmare boss apparently, and not such a nice guy.

And we all know that everything printed the papers is true......

Food for thought though

how many high flying bosses are nice people?
