Steve Jobs was a leader with vision who did great things BUT let us not forget about those who made the ultimate sacrifice...like PVT Chen or 1st Sgt Siercks or PO1 Nelsen or.... Without their sacrifice and those before them Steve wouldn't have been able to do the things he did.

I don't know them by name but I know others. I won't forget.

It has been a real bitter pill too in that these dweebs and geeks were off creating the real "Revenge of the Nirds"

To all of our fallen.  :salute:

Sad to see such a great man taken far too early.  His forward thinking and vision is the reason I sold all of my Microsoft stock years ago and put it into Apple and have done much better with it.  Plus, he made the best computers on the planet.

The 1st to make something doesn't make them the best.  :twocents: I never owned an apple and likely won't. That said Steve Jobs had a dramatic effect on all of our lives. I think he was interesting because he lives such a contradictory life. He was a phenominal busineman had great ideas and insperation. He was a tough business man as well. His politics however embraced the exact opposite of his sucess in business. He kept much of his life's details closely, and i would love to read a Biography about him... RIP

As good as a visionary/business man Jobs was, he did not invent any of those items, the engineers at Apple did.

This. He had the vision, his people at Apple made it come true.  He was not an inventor in the true sense of the word.

Let us not forget how MS and Bill Gates bailed him out in the early 2000's.

One place where Apple really exceeds is integration, everything they make integrates very well together.
If you have ever tried to setup a NAS drive for home server integration, you soon realize how horrible most backup and fileshare software is. Then hook up an Airport and wallah! Every Apple product, Iphone, Ipad, Itouch, Mac, and any non-mac product running Airplay gets a little pop-up saying your are connected. Now with no setup you can play any video, picture, movie you want from any of the above mentioned items on your TV.
As much as I hate to say it, no Windows or Linux integration can't even come close to that.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

I really didn't realize how much his inovations impacted our lives. It is sad that he was unable to stop the cancer that killed him.
