Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, just announced that Steve Jobs, Apple's founder, passed away today from pancreatic cancer. Not surprising, but very, very sad. :(

All sympathy to his family, and all gratitude for 30 years of wonder.
Our lives would be poorer without his vision.

P.S. I typed this on my iPad. Thank you, Steve!

I hadn't heard that until now. And I agree with you. A sad day.

RIP Steve.

I hadn't seen his 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech in a while, so I just took a few minutes to watch it again. Hard to believe he's gone.

Lovely. A fine tribute. Thank you, Orren, for sharing it.

One of my Facebook contacts posted this, with an invitation to share. Apple's design philosophy in a nutshell.
Best,
