Today we mourn the loss of Steve Jobs co-founder of apple.
He as we all know was a visionary, mentor and as some people say " the einstein of our generation" he was a great man and influenced everyone who had heard of his name.
He created probably the greatest technological inventions of this era in social media, from the iphone to the ipad and i would just like to say
He did lead a good life and he made tonnes of money and had tonnes of ideas but now none of it matters to him because he never found God. It is truly sad.

I grew up with your products, literally. My family's first computer was a black and white "Macintosh Plus".
Imagine gaming on THIS beast
Then we eventually got a Power Mac 5200, colour yay! That was the main family computer for a long time, while all my mates were cranking their fancy 486's I was on my Power Mac. It actually had a lot to do with the reason I love Blizzard games so much, they were always compatible from Warcraft 1 onwards with my Mac I ran WC1, WC2 and Diablo 1 on it versus my fancy pants 486 buddies
Eventually the family caved to the growing amount of incompatibility (just having Blizzard games didn't cut it for the old man) so we had to get a Pentium 3 or something.
Once I had my own money, I got back into the Apple stuff in time for the iPod craze, got the iPhone and eventually a MacBook Pro to do all my multimedia work on and just for surfing net and watching streams on the couch They've always been the most stable machines I've ever used. I know alot of people have complained about the "colour wheel of death" but it's never happened to me!
I still game on my Windows desktop PC, it's always gonna be a superior gaming machine to anything from Apple. But Apple products have been such a big part of my life really a lot of people's lives in 2011. Good luck finding any modern touch phone that doesn't rip off Apple's iPhone interface. Even Windows is starting to look like a Mac OS now. Apple stuff was just ... fun to use. Anyone can use it. They turned around from the "joke" they were perceived to be back in the 90's to the powerhouse company they are today and it's all thanks to you and your crew of geniuses, Steve. Having Apple stuff again feels like revisiting an old friend that you haven't seen for years, who had a hard life growing up and was pushed around, then you see how much they've grown and how much of a difference they've made on the world. Your old friend is truly happy.
He certainly was a marketing genius
But for everything he did for apple on the marketing side he constantly kept his products from being something truly worth the money they charge.
R.I.P nonetheless
A true example of the power of perception
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.
Losing a man of such talent and innovation makes the world a much worse-off place. RIP Steve Jobs

Although I was one of "those guys" that was very audible about how much they dislike Apple products, I really have to thank the guy for what he's done with the industry. Thanks to him, smartphones were accelerated beyond belief with every competitor trying to not only make their phones "cool", but also outperform them. Steve has created a platform that allows me to earn revenue, and for that I also thank him.
Cheers Mr Jobs, I owe you one.
