Steve Jobs was a visionary. He was the driving force at Apple. His successes are legendary. The Apple II. The Macintosh. Pixar. The MacBook. iTunes. The iPod. The iPhone. The iPad. His attention to detail was unparalleled.
Where will the new ideas come from? Who will bring them into existence? That remains to be seen.
One thing is certain.
Apple is going to be a very different company without him.
Addendum: Steve Jobs passed away 10/5/11. Our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at Apple. Requiescat in pace.
