It isn’t news anymore that Steve Jobs died yesterday. It was a sad loss for the world of computing.
I have never been an Apple user and don’t envisage being one anytime in the future. I don’t agree with the tie-in between hardware and software that using an Apple product entails. I also hate iTunes with a passion!! I write code for the Microsoft stack and am therefore tied to the PC platform.
However, there is no denying the genius of Jobs. His uncanny ability to give us products that were beautiful and functional. Products that were trendsetters rather than followers – with other companies chasing to catch up and never quite succeeding.
Every time I pass an Apple store, I always walk in and admire the products that I don’t use! I hope that Apple after Steve Jobs will continue to be a leader in innovation and in bringing us the future.
I grew up admiring Steve Jobs and Bill Gates – it’s sad to loose one of my teenage idols.
Who knows, I might even end up buying a Macbook Pro one day!
