Steve Jobs we will miss you

We are not supposed to deliver a eulogy, and if anyone wants to leave he/she is welcome to do so.
Pesonally, I prefer evolution to revolution in most cases.
Let's see who dies next. I look forward to another opportunity to entertain ourselves.

@Inna,

"We are not supposed to deliver a eulogy"

So you are the eulogy control manager for this forum and therefore everyone has to listen to you? Who put you in control what people say of others?

No wonder people read these forums in disgust and are leaving. Coherent and intelligent remarks are not the norm here anymore.

Cultural Dictionary
eulogy [( yooh -luh-jee)]

Words of praise, often for a dead person, but also a staple in introducing speakers, in nominating candidates, and on other such occasions


Save your sarcastic evolutionary thought processes for someone who cares.

Its a free country (USA, so far for the most part at least).

People can speak their minds however there are always consequences to whatever one says in public, so you just have to accept that.

I am anti censorship in general. It helps to have some thick skin in general though. I think the USA could use some more of that sometimes these days. Its sad what happens to prominent people who merely speak the minds then their comments get taken out of context by the media and/or others jump to invalid conclusions.

PEople just need to be a little smarter sometimes!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Hopefully, Steve Jobs would approve.

Those of success are always open to be knocked by do-nothing lessers. Steve Jobs excelled at the ideal the USA was founded on. He was dealt a unbeatable health issue, which he fought with courage, without giving up. I for one, am damn impressed!!

Your right about having thick skin nowadays. It seems you need it everywhere, be it at work, sometimes at home (for those who are owned by their spouses), and of course places like this, where it is very easy to speak your mind freely and opposing opinions clash. The beauty of our way of life in the USA, is that each of us as individuals are afforded the opportunity and right to speak openly because of our ancestors who died and fought for our freedom to to so. Noto so lucky in some other countries.

Back to the topic at hand. I can only think of another person in the technology real who had a profound impact during the dawn of supercomputers, Seymour Cray;

"When asked what kind of CAD tools he used for the Cray-1, Cray said that he liked #3 pencils with quad paper pads. Cray recommended using the backs of the pages so that the lines were not so dominant. When he was told that Apple Computer had just bought a Cray to help design the next Apple Macintosh, Cray commented that he had just bought a Macintosh to design the next Cray.[7]"

How interesting that these two companies, Apple and Cray, were intertwined years ago for the sake of building each others computers.

I remember reading years ago about research Cray was doing to duplicate the electrical impulses found in plants to create the next processor, fascinating.
