Dear Mr. Jobs,

I have wondered for years, how a leader can consistently challenge his people to continuously think ” out of the box ” – like you have. And dared to hope to have the opportunity to experience this first hand. Unfortunately, this dream died today, when I heard that you had passed away. Today, the Einstein of our era has died, but more importantly, a husband and father whose warmth and love will be alive only In his family’s memories. Mr. Jobs, my deepest condolences to your loved ones, and may you rest in peace.

Steve Jobs…what an overblown pompous ass, who became the Thomas Edison of Tupperware plastic devices that worked like crap, yet were marketed to the ever-vain masses as chic symbols to impress others while bending over to sniff their own farts. iPhone users: So eager to buy it because of how kewl it makes you look, so snowed by how kewl you look you never notice its glaring technological flaws. Jobs himself was a snake-oil salesman, endlessly pushing a computer design no one can use. If Steve had designed an Apple car with the same “genius”, it would have had a steering wheel facing the trunk. He never invented ANY devices, since every single one he made already existed. Wow, maybe we’ve discovered the secret to his legendary, amazing, mythical power of copying someone else’s crap! He was the Milli-Vanilli of Silicon Valley. And his charming personal touch: “Remember, my stupid minions who foolishly bought the iPhone 4, if you actually knew how to hold the device the gods fashioned for me (in China), it wouldn’t hang up!” But the most egregious act of all was the secret jointly-designed iPhone ASIC chip called Svengali-Hitler that turned sensible young men and women into Miley Cyrus bots, screaming and swooning over pretentious-looking products that are nothing more than technological Edsels. But hey, there is at least one good outcome from his death: I hear that Satan is back into turtlenecks. Actually, I tried to call my good old friend Steve last night, but Satan got disconnected the moment he answered his iPhone 4. Oh well, some defective things never change!

Steve Jobs was truly a man of vision – seeing and creating things we would need, or should I say, want even before we knew what they were

I learned about computers on his first Mac released in 1984. Of course it was 4 years old at the time, I would use it the next four years until I graduated with my journalism degree. Of course, the day before graduation I walked past the computer lab where I saw them installing brand new computer with separated monitors that were huge and in color.

Then I entered the work world where I met the frustration of the Microsoft PC. Ugh! Even though Mr. Gates used much of the Apple platform in his Windows platform, it will never meet the innovation Mr. Jobs brought to the world.

We only see a few true geniuses… true innovators in our lifetime. He is the class of Edison, Graham Bell, Ford – people who used their imagination and made things that would revolutionize the world in which we live.

His Stanford graduation speech is one of the best I’ve ever heard. “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” What a great message.

Genius. Innovator. Creator. Pioneer. That is Steve Jobs. Tonight, iSad.
