jade_sabreSteve Jobs passed away yesterday.
So Facebook clued me in, although I had to scroll a ways to get to it, and I am just, like, in shock. I don't even use Apple products. Macs annoy me, and I've never even used iTunes, much less an iPod. But still. What.
My dad said, when he stepped down as CEO in August, that he had basically worked until he had created the computer he'd always wanted to create. Once upon a time when Dad and I were making an eight-hour road trip to visit a college, he gave me a long and detailed lecture about the history of the computer industry, which included things like "crazy Steve Jobs wanted to make a computer with no mouse or keyboard! yeah that was nuts." ("Also people were just taking the code for Windows and running it backwards and marketing it as a completely different product, 'cause there weren't any copyright laws in effect yet.")
but hey! look at the iPad.
Wild.
Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.
