Steve Jobs
Say what you like about his divisive nature but he was certainly a smart bloke and we need all the smart blokes we can find in this world. People are saying that when we look back in decades to come his name will rank with industrialists and visionaries like Edison and Ford and Disney. Time will tell on that, but I think they’re probably right.
Lots of fascinating and touching remembrances popping up around the web, like Jobs testing Photobooth in Mike Matas’ office in 2005 and Brian Lam, formerly of Gizmodo, reflecting on that stolen iPhone prototype. My favourite, though, is a touching piece written a few weeks back by his neighbour. That last one is a rare view of Jobs as just another guy, crying with pride at his son’s graduation party. Like my Apple-agnostic friend Mike said; some kid has lost his father. That’s worse than anything any of the rest of us are feeling.
As John Gruber put it: so it goes.
