Steve Jobs: One More Thing

I wouldn't say that Jobs changed the world but definitely he changed the tech. industry. High point of his career - he made the lame Microsoft (of Vista fame) come up with a beautiful Windows Phone 7 & Kinect. Microsoft is reinventing itself now and mostly it was because of apple eating into its user base. Personally, I'm going to miss all his speeches whether in the WWDC or in the cupertino community meeting. Apple will miss him even more. I hope Apple doesn't turn into another Sony which lost direction after it's founder's demise. 

As for Steve Jobs, I echo an apple fanboy's comment "RIP - Return If Possible"

Edit (One more thing): Following is the video of "Celebrating Steve" event that took place in apple campus in memory of Steve Jobs

For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
