I'm at school and allt he apple people (mainly freshmen who didn't pay for a single apple product) are going nuts and doing nothing but talk about it. They kept referring to him as the Thomas edision of our time.

The funniest part is my 1st class was in teh computer science building and all the computer science majors have anything but a Macbook.

I wonder if the OWS crowd has takena rest to mourn the loss of such a rich and ruthless ceo

I feel bad for anyone who has to go what he went through and I feel bad for his family.
As for his legacy....its just "stuff"

Eh, I despise when people use the street as their personal racetrack, and never had reason to like the guy, but I'm genuinely sad about 101lifts. Life is full of contradictions and gray areas.

Good question. Which new car, and which 80's interior?

Even GM's interiors have improved dramatically.

A lot of people claim "I only care about power and/or fuel economy and/or how it rides", but I guarantee if a car's dashboard looks like shit and the controls aren't ergonomic and don't feel good to use, it will damage that car's reputation.

Another thing about Apple is the products were designed to be intuitive. Dumb/non technical people could use and use them well. Simple and elegant design working together. Look at the damn wheel on the ipod, that control was very very simple, yet genius. I miss the wheel, lol.

Jobs is someone who's been with Apple a very long time, and demonstrated personal involvement and vision that had an impact on the whole company & its products.

Compare that with the "average" CEO, who only serves for 2 years and then bails, and who never provides a game-changing vision. They just toss around the standard lines they picked up from a management book.

Exactly. Apple ddnt invent the MP3 player or the tablet or smart phone but they made it work the way people wanted before they new they wanted it.
