Today we lost Steve Jobs, the man who, at least for many of us, has shaped the technological world we live in.
People credit him as being a great visionary, and there is no doubt he was that, but I think far more importantly he was a great executionary. Lots of people have great ideas, but he had an amazing ability to force those ideas into reality almost by sheer will power.
My favourite Steve Jobs quote has always be “real artist ship” — ideas are useless until they are turned into real things in the hands of real people.
Goodbye Steve.

None yet.
Steve Jobs had a unique ability to envision solutions to problems before us mortal users knew we had these problems and the break-through products he envisioned; the entirely new categories he created; saving Apple from the brink; saving the music industry.
