Sad news. Don't know what I'd do without my iphone and I use a Mac every day at work. He really did change my life.

So sad. He was a genius! If you've never read his commencement speech at stanford, please read. It is so powerful.

I've felt sad for the last couple hours after reading that. What a loss to the world.

Oh my word.



I had read parts of that speech, but never its entirety. Wow. Moving and particularly poignant today.

That is so sad. Between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, the very way we lead our lives has been transformed in countless ways. What a great loss, and so tragic that he died so young.

 

[Kelleanne]

I just woke up and read the news. So so terrible

 

[Brynn Marie]

So very sad....my favorite part of his commencement speech:

"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the opinions of others drown out your own inner voice. And most important, to follow your heart and intuition. Somehow already know what you want to become. Everything else is secondary."

My husband found an amazing quote this morning:

The corporation is the most powerful tool we've ever invented. It's typically used as a club or a lever. Steve Jobs used it as a paintbrush.

This is so true and so eloquent. You know I woke up this morning to my alarm on my iphone, the same phone my kids play apps on in the car on the way to preschool, and the one I use to talk to Laura on almost everyday. I got home grabbed my ipod and that's what keeps me running 5 days out of the week and now I sit here and type this on a Mac which is where I work and create and where so many wonderful friendships have been formed. All of these things that shape our everyday life came from one man. He will be missed.

Yes, yes, and yes. An amazing contributor with an amazing legacy that has touched us all in immeasurable ways.

Yes, exactly. I read the news on my iPhone and texted it to my husband & my friend (each on their iPhones). My kids love our iPad and use it for so much more than I even do. And, of course, my husband and I are MacBook Pro users.

It's so amazing how he's shaped and impacted our lives. The very first computer I ever used (at a library) was an Apple.
