One of my idols. I will always use the products he put so much passion into and be loyal to the company he built.
He will forever be missed.
RIP Steve

Apple just won't be the same without his opinion. He was one of the Mose successful business men of this generation. He will always be remembered anytime any apple product will be discussed.

"Your time is limited.
So don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't let the noise of other's opinions
drown out your inner voice."

I've always admired the man. Not because he was perfect, because he wasn't. And not because we shared ideologies, because we don't. But he was an entrepreneur in every sense of the word. A businessman. An innovator. A marketer with mystical insight into what the customer wanted and didn't even know they wanted because it didn't exist.
Like Gates he could take something nobody could see a use for and turn it into an everyday object everyone would want. But unlike Gates he was more than a one trick pony. Plus after it's all said and done he was a producer. He made things people bought. He didn't make money off the market or shorting, he and his team designed and built a product and sold them. Leaving the consumer better off for it. His wisdom was immense and yet he only attended one semester of college. He was a little bit Rockefeller and a little bit Edison. But like the chairman of the board, most of all he did it his way.
I wish him the best in the hereafter and I am hoping he received full enlightenment upon his death bed as any Buddhist seeks.

A lot of technological advances are in part due to him. He was much more than "just" Apple- With NeXT and Pixar. And some 340 patents.
His revolutionary visions and philanthropy draw comparisons to the likes of (when compared era for era) Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.
It goes to show that even with $7 billion- you can't buy life. But his footprint as a forefather to the modern technology movement will live on.
RIP
Thoughts go out to his family and those close to him.
