    Default Steve Jobs 1955-2011

    RIP. Not a fan of his products, but you gotta respect the marketing clout of the man.

    Blimey.

    Will be judged by history as a pioneer.

    RIP
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Wow, I didn't expect to see a thread about him dying, it seemed like he stepped down from Apple over health concerns only a couple of weeks ago.

    Requiescat in pace.
