Today's xkcd* is a fantastic tribute.


*for anyone who may not be familiar with xkcd, hover your mouse over the image of each comic after you've read it. The mouseover text always adds even more to the comic.

Seriously though I forgot that after he got fired from the apple board in the 80s he went and bought Pixar.

Steve Jobs basically kicked off home computer ownership, led the studio making some of the best animated films ever made, then went and redefined tech companies and the music industry and grew apple from an industry joke into the largest company on earth. This is a huge loss.

After he was hired back by Apple to be the CEO he had enough vision to realize that Apple was about to fail completely. Got a CASH bailout from Microsoft and has been successful ever since.

Yeah, my mother actually mentioned this to my brother and he's like "What?! I can't believe I found out from my MOM!" He writes programs and stuff for Mac and some how missed the news.
