I was speaking to a doc friend about this the other day. Pancreatic cancer is about as bad as it can get.

Sad news.

One, you rarely have symptoms until it's too late and two, you can't remove it since you can't live without it.

Sucks for his family, friends, and supporters.

I think it was Bill Maher who said the only way to save the U.S. economy was to make Jobs Emperor.

we all knew it would happen soon, he has outlived most with a similar diagnosis.
still, was not the type of news you hope for when you wake up in the morning.
a true visionary has left.

the wonders of the iWorld: just stumbled upon a commentary from a rather surprising source, a rabbi´s take about the impact Steve had. Interesting read and relevant thoughts.

I would like to say a few word about steve jobs.
I would like to commemorate the life of Steve Jobs on of the most influential people of the 21 century. who has changed the world with his innovating idea's. It is a sad loss for us all. He has not just changed the country he has changed the world with the modern technology and ideas. On behalf of the world I would like to say thank you and let us never forget how you have changed the nation.

that was interesting and brought a compelling perspective.
Regarding the reference to Jobs going to Xerox PARC and seeing the GUI (and the mouse was born there, too) - if you have any interest, read :
Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age

http://www.amazon.com/Dealers-Lightning-Xerox-PARC-Computer/dp/0887309895#_

fascinating story of how Xerox invented a lot of what we are using today, and let it slip through their fingers.
