Strange to think about the impact Steve Jobs had on society. I've never been a fan of Apple products but the iPhone has me totally hooked. Funny to think that most people communicating today are doing so on one of his devices or something influenced by them.

For me though his contribution to Pixar will always have a place in my heart.

Listening to Radio 4 on the way in the morning.

His corpse is still warm and James Naughtie and the rest are all "Aye, Ah kent his faither."

Cant say I have ever been a fan of Apple or their overly marketed shite (IMHO) but he is a noticeable loss to the world not just for Apple but all the other good he has done and especially in my mind for the business world and how he ran his company.

shame. Never an apple fan but not a nice way to go out and still young.

In the words of the late great peter cook and dudley moore

DEREK:
You going to go out laughing, are you?
CLIVE:
No, I'm going out, going out fucking .....
DEREK:
Fucking shitting yourself with fear!
CLIVE:
Shitting myself with fucking fear and fucking cancer, which God so kindly provided. Without that we wouldn't have a way to die, would we? Fucking good of him! Not to torment us with being eternally young and being able to fuck everyone. No! He gave us this great gift of fucking cancer, that's very kind. I wouldn't have thought of that if I'd been creating the universe, would you? Bung in cancer? No, I'd have left that out.
