Is the future of Apple products really the first thought you had when you heard the news?
It's surreal and really striking to think that a man who has had such a staggering list of accomplishments could have died today at the age of 56. Just... really weird to think about. I mean logically I understand that cancer doesn't just skip over the rich and powerful, but it's still strange to see someone with the kind of resources that he had, with so much intelligence and talent succumb to the disease. I'm not a super hardcore Apple fan. But I do love my ipod and my Mac Pro and my iPad. And Pixar is like my favorite studio in the world. Individually, these things are impressive innovations. But combined, wowza. I know almost nothing of his personal life, but his professional accomplishments were extraordinary. I don't think it's hyperbole when people say that he was a game changer.
