I wonder which of us are making the most of it, I can tell you, it doesn't take long to go.

1235629 2011-10-07 07:25:00 I get the feeling that Steve Jobs was a Tall Poppy. RIP to him. PJ Poppa John (284)
1235630 2011-10-07 07:54:00 I've always been anti-Apple as I used to sell PC's

But I always admired what Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak accomplished.

He was an amazing entrepeneur and visionary.

But of course most of the ideas came from Xerox Park.

1235632 2011-10-08 01:21:00 Must say I'm a bit puzzled about the huge world-wide acclaim in response to his death. Steve Jobs died much younger than he would have wished and that is sad. Any death is sad.

He was certainly clever and as far as I can tell, the visionary guy at Apple. However Steve Wozniack is the guy with the genius.

I heard a radio interview comparing Jobs with Thomas Edison. That seems a long reach and a vast exaggeration. There are also many comments on the net that we wouldn't be able to buy music online or have smart phones if it wasn't for Steve Jobs. I just can't see that as true.

I'm happy to be convinced otherwise. He appears to have been a good man, my sympathies to his families and colleagues.

Comparisons are odious.
