Like many, I feel a sense of loss and sadness today that I can't imagine applying to any other fallen "business leader". With his "Just one more thing" presentations, Steve Jobs always represented the future rather than the past - the cutting edge in technology with a human face.
As someone just posted on Twitter, "Steve Jobs was born out of wedlock, put up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college, then changed the world. What's your excuse?"
I previously mentioned the Apple founder on this blog and also referred to his famous address to graduating students. Jobs may have been very tough as a boss - perhaps even cruel at times - but his humanity and vision is what we all remember as an era finally draws to a close.
RIP Steve.
Update: Interesting obit in the Telegraph, not always flattering.
Update 2: Beautiful tribute from his sister Mona.
