We Say Goodbye to Steve Jobs

We Say Goodbye to Steve Jobs...

Sadly, yesterday on October 5, 2011 Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56.  The world will miss the most iconic creative 'Genius' CEO of our times. 

I think President Obama's tribute to Steve Jobs sums it up perfectly.  Obama said that Steve Jobs was one of America's greatest innovators, a man "brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."

Steve Jobs helped create everything that we've grown to love and use religiously on a daily basis from all the Apple products such as the iPhone, iPad, iPods, iTunes, Mac products, and Apple stores.          

He truly understood what the end user wanted with Apple's simple clean designs and functionality coupled with effective powerful technology at our finger tips.  I think that's why we all embraced the iPhone and the iPad with complete enthusiasm.

I remember when I was in grade school in the early 80's in Sunnyvale, CA Apple was the first computer product I came across and now it's come to a full circle with my kids using Apple as their first computer product.  It was the iBook and the iPhone for them.  I guess you can say that our family loves Apple products. 

Pixar was another innovative company that Jobs helped build which is very close to our family's heart.  Our children grew up watching and loving all of Pixar's movies.

Thank you Steve Jobs for changing our world with the Apple products and the imagination of Pixar.  You will be missed.

Our condolences goes out to Steve's family.
