On Steve Jobs
No secret I don’t care for Apple’s business model. However, Steve Jobs was an innovative guy. He changed how Americans viewed and used the phone, personal computers, and how the world enjoys music.
Godspeed, Sir.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I hated the Apple price-point and snooty exclusivity having lived with that Palo Alto attitude shoved up on me most of my life, a cost that was always over my buying power – but he was inventing the future in a way that few are anymore today – all’s we get nowdays are stupid 1930’s Socialist RPG re-treads, what’s so “progressive” about that crap? Gas masks?

One of the few tech companies that still innovates within U.S. borders. Yes, they mass manufacture overseas, but Jobs insisted they have fully-capable product prototyping facilities and talent right here in the States which is a rarity anymore. It’s probably been the biggest reason they’ve been able to develop products in relative secrecy for so long.

Jobs was among a handful of pioneers in personal computing. This is a historical moment.
Heh; I once had a *computer science professor* comment to me, “Why would anyone want to plug a musical instrument into a computer?” after I showed him some of the new MIDI stuff we’d gotten in, back in the ’80s.

As a person that never buys/uses Apple products (and hates iTunes with a burning passion), I can still appreciate all that Steve Jobs did. He was an innovative revolutionary, and passed away far too soon. Rest in peace.
