![]() Pretty sad stuff. Orgazmo said it best to me just now on IM: we just lost one of the Einsteins or Michelangelos of our era. |

It really hurts me. I never met the guy, but I live with the products he and his company created. I live with a laptop that allowed me to trust the ability of computer software again. I live with an iPhone, which changed the entire world. I'll have an iPad to use for teaching students next month. I couldn't fathom what could replace the CD, but then came along the iPod. Just... wow...

Comparing him to Michelangelo or Einstein is a bit of a stretch ... the guy managed teams that developed the products. Einstein created relativity himself, Michelangelo painted that shit himself, jobs led a multinational corporation with thousands of employees who's collective effort created a successful platform for existing technologies to come together.

Yeah, RIP definitely. He revolutionized so many industries, smartphones and music to name a few. I have to disagree with DDT here. Apple wasn't much of a company until the ipod came out. I think it's pretty common knowledge that the ipod was basically his creation. All the other products were basically innovations to the ipod template.
All the money in the world still couldn't spare him an untimely death. |

Sure, he wasn't as great of a mind as Einstein. Honestly, there may never be another mind as great as Einstein. On the other hand, Jobs created more jobs, wealth, and technological innovation than Einstein ever did.

It's all about furthering the human cause and pushing boundaries. In that regard, Jobs was a god, as was Einstein. They're cut from the same piece of cloth. Different ends, but the same cloth. | |

I think we can all agree: Steve Jobs was the Einstein/Michelangelo/Jesus Christ of our and every other generation. No simmering down in this space will be allowed. | |

I think he's more akin to Henry Ford than Einstein. Great man, nevertheless.

![]() The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. ![]() |
