“Steven Paul Jobs, the legendary Apple boss who set the company on its course to becoming the world’s most cash-rich company before passing away three years ago Sunday, is often lauded as a technology visionary,” Alex Fitzpatrick writes for TIME Magazine. “But really, it was Jobs’ business acumen that made him not only a genius, but also a legend.”
“Indeed, Jobs’ drive to ‘sell a few,’ as Woz put it in a 1983 TIME story, resulted in products that utterly changed the world into which they were introduced: The Macintosh, the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad,” Fitzpatrick writes. “If you were able to put up with Jobs’ demanding ways of doing business, Apple wasn’t a bad place to be, even back in ’82. ‘From the start,’ as TIME said, ‘the Apple team did almost everything right.'”

MacDailyNews Take: We miss you, Steve!
We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it. – Steve Jobs
“Steve Jobs” (1982) by Diana Walker, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution)
It only seem like yesterday that I heard the news of Jobs passing. The world misses a man like Jobs a visionary. You can always ask where Apple would be if he was still alive and leading this great company. Hopefully the people he put charge is carrying on his legacy. Rest in Peace Steve Jobs.
I always have trouble missing someone who I think of on a daily basis and who’s life I feel still intertwines with my own. The body may be dead, but the spirit lives on is alive and moves forward, I can see it from the watch.
Fandroid though will continue with their “God and Jobs aren’t innovative!” blather unabated but hopefully Lucifer will keep them busy working with Google.
On a New Age website, it was claimed that the consciouness that inhabited the body of ‘STEVE JOBS’ returned to His home planet in the Andromeda galaxy.
I still kept the email he replied to me that help me realized that Mainstream News Media IS BS! No Journalistic integrity anymore. But I still can’t help going to these sits and getting pissed off. LOL!
We think about Laurene and your children on this day.

“It’s seems like yesterday”
Really? Movies, books and an internet full of “if only Steve were here” comments make it seem like an eternity to me.
I don’t know any famous person who died who gets talked about more often than Steve (and deservedly so).
The world is missing men of great passion and unwavering commitment to achieve a lofty goal.
It seems as the only ones the media is showing us today with passion today go around hacking peoples heads off.
Here’s to Steve!
We remember.
(great photo by the way)
And the TIME article is a brilliant blast from the past.
Steve,
Thanks for denting the universe! You rock!

Maybe I miss different.
Love the picture, loved the man. Bet he’s still doing his thing wherever he is.
Redesigning and reinventing Heaven to his liking?
Excellent! I hope Steve finishes the redesign before I get there.
Fandroid though will continue with their “God and Jobs aren’t innovative!” blather unabated but hopefully Lucifer will keep them busy working with Google.

I love you forever and forever Steve.
here’s to the crazy one – http://t.co/mkNfqKXR0w
I’ll always remember the smile fraught with intent
I still kept the email he replied to me that help me realized that Mainstream News Media IS BS! No Journalistic integrity anymore. But I still can’t help going to these sits and getting pissed off. LOL!
Jubei, What advice did he give you? …if you’re not using it, maybe I can…to counter how they piss me off too.
I wanted to see Steve’s car, the one he wanted to build with the Apple logo.
Steve was born on February 24th, and that’s the day I like to remember him.
without Steve we would never really know how tasteless Microsoft was and how much they really ….
suck.
May you find eternal grace. Thank you for the amazing achievements from a remarkable life.
His spirit still drives Apple. May it always be so.
Forever will remain one of the saddest days in my memory.
