RIP brother Jobs. This bit of the internet is for you.

I haven't read this. And I'm really hesitant to speak any ill of the dead. But I just can't take much more. Do people realize that Apple is only tied with Exon/Mobile as being the biggest companies in America? Jobs was only unique in quickly understanding that taking a little money from everybody is more profitable than taking big money from only some, and circle and protect your stuff at all costs. Say whatever else you want, that stands.

Every living person, including you, does what they can to maximize their earning potential. Why not attack him for breathing air or pooping? What stands is, Steve Jobs, for good or ill, changed the course of human history.

i see that dennis ritchie passed away a few days ago. everyone noted jobs passing, but few outside the field probably noted this. funny how life goes ... his fame outside of computer science is probably minimal, but the outgrowth of his work touches our lives every day, as people who work with unix, c, and all their offspring know. hopefully he got to say "hello world" to a better place

Ritchie was a true giant and has Jobs heel prints square on his shoulders. RIP Mr Ritchie.
