My Neighbor, Steve Jobs

While Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal and CNET continue to drone on about the impact of the Steve Jobs era, I won’t be pondering the MacBook Air I write on or the iPhone I talk on. I will think of the day I saw him at his son’s high school graduation. There Steve stood, tears streaming down his cheeks, his smile wide and proud, as his son received his diploma and walked on into his own bright future, leaving behind a good man and a good father who can be sure of the rightness of this, perhaps his most important legacy of all.

for all the talk of the head of Apple, Steve Jobs, maybe some could remember he was also just a man...

4. Give it a rest

I dislike Apple as much as say you, but just give it a rest. He affected ALL of us, and he did make hundreds of millions of people's lives better.

Wonder if the occupied one will be protesting with them.

I'd think there just might be a better time for grave dancing.

Just my opinion of course.

28. technically he was without sin

so it was ok for him to cast the first stone...

and I am pretty sure that whole verse actually has to do with an adulterous women who Jesus forgave...

22. Do we know he knew? This was a genius who answered to a board

who demanded the biggest bang for the buck. Do not castigate the man until you castigate each and every board member and member of upper management who implemented Job's vision.


Shame.

32. He was a dad.

And parenting brings out the human in all of us. May he rest in peace and may his family take comfort in each other.
