As many of you know, Steve Jobs passed away today, hence the reason I'm writing this. I don't know if it's because he was a technical mastermind and a genius visionary, or that I bashed iPod on yesterday's blog and now I feel guilty. Either way, he deserves a tribute. Steve Jobs was the god of the consumer world. He had me more figured out than I do, which is slightly unnerving to be honest with you. Now let's be straight here, I'm just as much of a consumer as anybody out there, but I used to think that I have a tiny bit more control over myself in that I can realize when something's just plain stupid and can deter myself from buying it. Then Mr. Jobs came along and completely butchered my self-control. If I had my will power on a leash before, then Apple cut the leash, gave it a shot of adrenaline, and drop kicked it out the door. Basically Apple ruined my chances of every having a respectable savings account. And this can all be attributed to Steve Jobs. From slightly overpriced but amazingly awesome Macbooks to a different size of iPod for every hour of the day, Apple covers every area of need, convenience, and entertainment possible. Just when I think my phone is bordering on ridiculous because of how advanced, handy, and uselessly awesome it is, a new version comes out. Usually I'd be pissed about this because I just bought the old newest one, but not with Apple. They come out with these new ideas that blow my mind like a nuclear bomb in a two story apartment building. As much as I hate to admit it, we as human being are going to be about as physical useless as Stephen Hawking within a couple decades because of brilliant minds like that of Steve Jobs. It's too bad his Apples didn't keep the proverbial doctor away. Okay, I'm sorry for making jokes at a time like this. Death makes me weird and this is how I deal with things. Anyway, that's really all I have to say, I just wanted to give a tip of the hat as we send off one of the greatest game changers in the history of material consumerism. Thank you, Steve Jobs, for everything you've done. iMiss you.
Fact of the Day: Steve Jobs's stake in Disney was twice as big as his stake in Apple.
Shout out to Steve Jobs.
