Steve Jobs no more. RIP:-(
one of the brightest fella to have visited this planet, Steve Jobs was an amazing guy who delivered the best always..just check out if any one else has ever 'delivered' in their second innings, after being brought in -chucked out for his own house at the 1st place!.. This man did it..and during this time he was pushed out of Apple, he did create ripples with Pixar and went on to be the largest share holder of Disney!
The master innovator is no more:-(
Mac was unbeatable and unthinkable for the windows world..and in his 2nd innings he delivered such a master stroke with ipod..man! what a genius he was..
but one has to see how smooth a transition he effected -now or even when he was chucked out of Apple..
remember the advt of apple in 1976 when IBM came in to PC making- for the 1st time..full page ads claiming :"welcome IBM, seriously- apple"..one of the best ads ever, for me.. and the other master stroke was when windows 95 made such hulla about their features like plug and play, drag and drop, bla bla.."ok, so what? we have been having all these for more than a decade now!"
and one cant forget his speech at Stanford..can u? it did so many rounds on email forwards!
That is one of the best speeches! if u didnt see that earlier read now:

jobs was at the forefront of enhancing and then monetising personal greed.
undoubtedly his 'inventions' have served a lot of people very well, but it is undeniable that his work has added to our unsustainable lifestyle and degraded environment (how many i-machines go into the landfill each year?).
i would place him at the same pedestal as an 'ethical' version of dhirubhai ambani (who i would place much higher as his work has led to providing much needed cheap clothing to the masses).

yeah Sri! very true..still my admiration goes a long way back to that previous version of myself - a full fledged consumer and techie..
so this love lost still:-)
but i did get many forwards linking Job's failure to consider the cruel ways apple china's employees were treated etc..
also see this (thx kk) http://blogs.hbr.org/hbr/hbreditors/2011/10/on_dr_ralph_steinman_and_steve.html
but u know, i still rate his products out of the world though i didnt buy any ipod or its cousins to stand by my 'no consumerism vow'
