The driving force, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod etc. has died. There's nothing more to be said about the innovator. Other brilliant minds are prepared to amaze the world. But Steve Jobs, the MAN, the SPEAKER, will never be equalled.
Steve Jobs was brave to the end.
In his memory....
Receive and keep,
Keep safe his dedicated dust,
His sacred sleep.
So shall thy lovers, come from far,
Mix with thy name
As morning-star with evening-star
His faultless fame.
(Algernon Charles Swinburne)
