Rest In Peace Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs,

You will be missed. Several generations will be affected. Your contributions are peerless. I hope you inspired several other inter-disciplinary leaders in several spheres of the society, including but not limited to business.

Here's a tribute from Google at the most valuable ad-board of the world, their own homepage.



Here's a tribute from your own firm:


Bill Gates has noted his tribute here:

Here's a tribute from the educational institution, which you chose not to complete your education at:

Eric Schmidt mentioned that you defined a generation. Particularly, I liked this part:

Steve was so charismatically brilliant that he inspired people to do the impossible, and he will be remembered as the greatest computer innovator in history.

May your soul Rest in Peace.

The future is apple (contd)

Sometime back, I had posted a log by the title "The future is Apple!"

In line with the same argument, I want to update my visitors with this piece of news.
Domination - but - only of the multimedia segment! With movies on iPods and iTV as the next big thing along with IPTV, Apple will compete with other players such as 2wire who have got big business for their STBs (Set top boxes). IPTV is going to be a big business and Apple will ensure that under the leadership of Steve Jobs, they get a good chunk of it.

So, here's a thing - Jobs is not an original guy but has the ability to see the markets well and execute a project to the finish and sell his product. Gates beat him at that but Gates is out of the game now. I hope Jobs will be able to at least get over Ozzie...if not, then that's sheer lack of competence . However, I do not want to sound as if I am writing him off completely. He still remains a legend in this industry for reasons such as the flair he possesses, the effect he creates, etc.

Letsee what next he brings in.
