The world lost a true innovator today. Can't deny the impact him and apple have had on the world.

He did, he bought what became Pixar from Lucasfilm in the 80's.

We owe him a great deal of thanks then just for that, Pixar is one of the most consistently great film producing studios ever

Without a doubt, not a fan of Apple and they're constant money grabbing "upgrades", Pixar though, amazing studio who never put a foot wrong.

You can hate Apple and respect Jobs.  There was once a time Jobs didn't care for Apple either.

Like when they fired him and then he made Pixar and NeXT which was then bought by Apple and he worked his way up to CEO, all without graduating from college lol

Quote from: Jobs
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something

If I lived every day like it was my last, I'd probably be homeless or in prison.

Everything time i think of this idealist illusion, i then instantly think... how much is this gonna cost me, so i go to work. If today was my last, i'd probably be having a swift half in the pub about now and mustering the troops for the greatest bash-up in history.

I like his use of the classic Wayne Gretzky quote:

"There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it's been.' That's what we try to do at Apple".

Some idiot on This Morning yesterday called Gretzky an American, tut tut!  :)
