The world took a big hit yesterday when Mr. Jobs passed away. Happy trails to you, Sir.

I wouldn't say the world as it wasn't a genocide or anything. But definitely a huge hit to Apple! And I am grateful for his ambition in making font choices available:

What in the hell does genocide have to do with Steve Jobs death? I meant the technology world, Amelia Bedelia.

Well you're the one who said it was a huge hit to the world, not me . I just had to clarify that among hits to the world, it isn't comparatively huge as others .

Font choices?
Steve offered more to your world than you might realise. To assume that its just apple shows short sightedness. Lets go back a bit shall we...
1. Shift towards personal computing over mainframes (apple II)
2. Gui - so folk could actually use computers WITHOUT knowing programming.
3. Mouse. I know people will say he stole it from epson but the first pc with mouse was an apple.
4. Tim berners-lee wrote the www on a nextcube. Steves own creation, after he left apple.
5. Bought a small animation company, upgraded their systems again to neXT which then makes the first all cg animation.
6. Goes back to apple, saves company AND kicks gates up the arse.
Provides a viable alternative to windows in osx.
Provides a viable alternative to ie with safari.
Realises it is far superior and ie for mac is ditched.
7. Ipod, iphone, ipad, imac - the only thing it seems you young ignoramus' know he was involved in!

His reach was far more than apple, or font choices...

Woa, why the anger and hostility? The world is not dependent on one person no matter how many good business choices he or she made. And if you read closely I never said he was limited to font choices, I just thought I would share the nice article for everyone. Unless you think he doesn't deserve any credit in that? Anyway how young and how much of an ignoramus do you think I am?
