FixYa’s Experts have come together to express their sadness over Wednesday’s death of Steve Jobs. MrBrokeRench hailed Jobs as a visionary, and Mike258 added “The man changed the world, even now, he continues to change it. Now that is a legacy.”
Steve’s death came just a day after Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event where new CEO Tim Cook and other senior Apple execs announced the release of the iPhone 4S. This was the first release event not hosted by Steve himself, and while everyone seems to agree that Cook did well, the event lacked the magic of a Jobs performance.
Steve will live on in our hearts and minds, and in the amazing products he created.
