Steve Jobs Dies

I suppose it wasn’t entirely unexpected, but it’s a pretty sad situation. I wonder what the future of computing, media, and networking will look like without Jobs’ crazily gifted innovation.
It’s long been Silicon Valley legend: Jobs and Wozniak built their first commercial product, the Apple 1, in Jobs’ parents’ garage in 1976. Jobs sold his Volkswagen van to help finance the venture. The primitive computer, priced at $666.66, had no keyboard or display, and customers had to assemble it themselves.
The following year, Apple unveiled the Apple II computer at the inaugural West Coast Computer Faire. The machine was a hit, and the personal computing revolution was under way.
