Steve Jobs - Thanks for the memories
Hi everyone, this is obviously an older blog post...I typed it up on my netbook which I must have intended to use as my system of choice for blogging...but it never worked out. Here it is, the lost entry on the stepping down of Steve Jobs from his baby, Apple Inc.
Well the news broke last week, Co-Founder of Apple Computers, Steve Jobs has stood down from his position of head of Apple Inc. due to inability to fulfill the requirements of the position.
I have watched 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' as well as 'Triumph of the Nerds' and 'Nerds 2.01'. The first computer I ever recall using was an Apple of some sort, I first saw what the internet was on an Apple computer, I loved the colorful iMacs and I've seen the popularity of iPods, iPhones and iPads first hand. The Mac Mini's...boy if people knew the power and ease of a home entertainment system based on this system was!
Although I primarily use Microsoft Windows and dabble with a few different distributions of Linux (representin' holla) I do see the importance of and influential prowess of the brand that is Apple.
Time will tell if Apple the brand and continued success, growth and innovation can exist without the great leader of the past.
My thoughts are with Steve Jobs, his family, his friends and everyone that this man's presence has had an impact on.
Peace.

Most people are now wondering just how well the company can do without him but how hard is it to come up with the idea of sticking a lot of ipads together to create the iWall?
ReplyDeleteIf they do this I hope I get royalties. I doubt I will, but I want them.
Steve Jobs did an excellent job in his time with Apple, he really did. I wish the guy the best of luck in the future, I really do
