Not a bad eulogy, oh Hoofed One. Keep up the skewering. Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Love that Anthony quote - and so true.

To an atheist, G. K. Chesterton somewhere remarked, the universe is the most exquisite mechanism ever constructed by nobody.

I like the comparison I saw earlier today comparing Steve to Leonardo Da Vinci, because they both lived where art and science intersect.

My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family.

Thanks, dear Pointy One. You have a gift. I'm looking forward to seeing Steve's legacy play out.

Cannot run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. This... is wrong tool.

Well said. As much as I enjoy Macalope Weekly, I hope you have very little to skewer this week.

"Steve Jobs didn't invent the Mac on his own. He didn't invent the iPhone or the iPad on his own either. But none of them would have existed if it weren't for him, and this world would be a smaller, duller, less beautiful place without them."

That's one of the better eulogies I've seen yet. Thanks.

Well said. A tasteful tribute to a man who has clearly had an impact on this world in many, many way.
