Unforgettable

Soooo everyone's talking about how sad they are that Steve Jobs is dead and how much of a pioneer he was and how we wouldn't have had what we do today if he hadn't opened up the world of sinful fruit to us. BULLSHIT.

If not Steve Jobs, some other genius starved for money and a chance at the competitive technological market would have stepped up to the plate. Steve just happened to get there first.

*Shrug*. Should I feel sad that he's dead? I don't think so, no. I didn't know the man, just the products Apple designed and put together, and while some were amazing products that advanced computing in a consumer sense, they would have come to the forefront some time or other with or without Apple's help.

10, 20, maybe 30 years from now, he'll be just like all the authors of the past, rotting away on a library shelf somewhere while newer, more current, more exciting and more innovative books get checked out more often.

Addendum:

A friend of mine said this, "Steve Jobs died of Pancreatic Cancer. PC won in the end."

I laughed.
