Steve's passing...

Wow. It has been an intense week. The great one is gone but leaves a legacy of incredible achievements.

I attended an impromtu memorial service in Palo Alto the other day and I must say in addition to the achievements specific to Apple, Jobs influenced an entire generation of innovators; from technology to consumer products to healthcare. There really was no industry his ideas did not touch. If we look at the total economic influence of Jobs it must multiply the capitalization of Apple geometrically.

A sign of a great innovator is the number of others he or she influences. Jobs to date is the greatest. He will be missed but his legacy will live on forever.
