“On Wednesday, America lost its most successful chief executive, the technology industry lost its greatest visionary, and Silicon Valley lost a giant whose influence will be felt for years to come,” Miguel Helft reports for Fortune.
“Steve Jobs, who by the force of his charisma, intuition and personality reshaped industries and turned Apple into America’s most valued company, died at the age of 56,” Helft reports. “I can’t claim to have known Jobs well, though as a reporter covering Apple (AAPL) I spoke with him on several occasions.

A man with no peer who bettered this world with his vision.
Yes a fabulous visionary.
JOBS had the right to make change in this industry just as anyone else.
