I'm sure everybody know by know, but yesterday, after struggling with cancer for years, at the age of 56(!) Steve Jobs passed away.
He was the person that made the iPods ubiquitous, and with them, the AAC format. http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/ I would surely miss him. RIP/QEPD. -------------------- MAREO: http://www.webearce.com.ar

Steve Jobs was a manager. He lead a company that developed successful products. Those products surely had some impact to the world of digital audio - although one could argue that if there hadn't been an iPod there would have been other, similar successful products for the same purpose.
Dont get me wrong: I don't want to vilify Jobs' merits. I'm just a little bit annoyed by that kind of quasi-religious cult around his persona - do we really need a Saint of computer consumerism? This post has been edited by Northpack: Oct 6 2011, 22:30 |
