Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011
« on: October 05, 2011, 11:54:47 pm »
I'm not a fan of his later works, but his early stuff really knocked my socks off.

He really did have a huge impact on the tech world, making the future happen today. I sure hope his vast fortune goes to a worthy cause or three.

Its funny, but for years Apple to me was Steve Wozniak and "that business guy".  Other than appearing on DWTS, Woz has completely been eclipsed by the other Steve.

reading things about the design process at Apple has made me refer to bosses who are really tough and demanding but get great results as "Steve Jobs style."
