“Mrs. Steve Jobs is reminded of the apple of her eye everywhere she goes,” Michael Walsh reports for The New York Daily News. “Laurene Powell Jobs, like most Americans, sees Apple products all around her.”
“Every time someone watches a video on an iPad or texts a loved one with an iPhone, she thinks of her late husband,” Walsh reports. “‘Steve has a public legacy and a private legacy,’ she said. ‘In the public we see the products that he created, that he cared so deeply about that changed all of our lives — the way that we function and communicate.'”
Walsh reports, “‘Having the body of work surrounding us is actually a really beautiful reminder,’ she said, ‘and I find it touching and inspiring for me to make sure that I continue to do what I’m most passionate about, and I hope my kids feel the same way.'”

“To do what you want to do, to leave a mark that you think is important and lasting, that’s a life well lived.”
I understand and appreciate the sentiment behind your quote, but without certain modifiers, the phrase seems simplistic even naive. I.e., many villains in history have done much of what they wanted to do, left marks on what they thought was important and lasting; however, would you think theirs is a life well lived? Something to aspire for.
That’s the reason, Steve Jobs had personally insisted on adding “[t]hey push the
human race forward,” in the “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” narrative. If you (any of you) get a chance, carefully read the whole thing. Without that particular sentence, the entire thing can come across as self-indulging rhetoric that lacks an anchoring yet transcending noble point.
In context: It’s the quote that ends the article.
That’s the difference between Apple and Samsung – passion. Slavishly copying and making a tainted buck does not qualify. Merging technology with the humanities. Now that’s passion.
And Apple is pure? Has never copied anyone right? LMFAO
Such trolls on this site!
It is all a matter of degree, intent, and legality, isn’t it? With respect to Apple, I would assert that the company is far more pure than M$, Google, or Samsung. That said, Apple is only as good as the people who run the company and the many employees who labor to design, test, distribute, and market its products.
Troll2, your disdain is representative of the current political thinking – all or nothing. If something is not all of A, then it must be B, lumped together with an undesirable group of other B entities. It is a fallacious and misleading argument that has been, unfortunately, used over and over in the past decade or so with great success. One of the terrible side effects of this illogic is extremism – those clinging to one extreme push others from a more moderate position to the other extreme.
Oh, and I believe that you meant “fanboys,” not “trolls on this site.”
Unfortunately Samsung has surpassed Apple in innovation.
Surpass in what way ?
Superior easyovation virtue of Samsung’s larger screens of course, an obviousovation the mighty Steve Jobs couldn’t have even anticipated. “Bigger and more plasticky” is the anyidiotcouldthinkofthisovation Samsung way. (Otherwise, eh heh, they got nothin’.)
Surpass and steal. I think you meant steal
You must believe in Santa Claus as well.
Throwing mud at a wall to see what sticks ain’t innovation. It’s just dirt on a wall…
not in morals
That had better be sarcasm, asshole- especially in the context of this article…
Wow. Real dumb, really tacky too. Troll.
Well, you are smoking crack laced with PCP. Innovation? The iterative evolution of smartphone and tablet tech of Samsung is innovation? You’re seriously fucking stupid, iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, each of which defined their genres were innovation. Tweaking those ideas over time is not.
You can’t surpass what you follow, Mr. Games 😉
Isn’t that video the truth.
You must be an ignorant fool.
This is meant for reindeer
RIP Steve.
Gotta love the photo selection linked to this article. Everyone’s likely seen it before, but it still touches the heart.
That’s a nice way to remember him.
Can’t imagine what it would be like to loose my wife. I wish her luck.
Jobs was a lying ass dog child abandoner and stingy and greedy. He was also a punk thief stealing once from Wozniak. Don’t go around licking his ass.
I wonder what mark you plan to leave on the world? Anything beyond critical words of men far greater than you?
You are not qualified to shine Jobs’ shoes.
It taste goid
X When referring to you punk infant child comes to mind. Whether you like Steve Jobs or not to defame him and by extension his wife for doing something good (both of them), you show what a disgusting low life, ignorant of the truth person you really are.
Rush Limbaugh must love this #sarcasm Wonder what MDN thinks? What no “take” on THIS political story?

Remember this, folks. If it weren’t for Apple and Steve Jobs, we would be doing this to take photos with our phones:
Press Options key
Press Media option
Press Camera option
Press Direction option
Press Forward-facing, oh that’s not right, Press Back, Press Rear-Facing
Press confirm
Take photo
Press Save photo
Press Save to Card
Thank you for everything, Steve.
MDN, do you understand the significant difference implied between “speaks out” and the more appropriate “speaks of”?
Yeah. It certainly was of the “of” category, no “out” about it.
