Do You 'Steve Jobs It'?

I am not surprised by the outpouring of concern when it was announced last night that Steve Jobs had passed away. However, I have been surprised by how much the death of Steve Jobs has made me feel sad, and I'm not even one of the Apple devotees. The only Apple product I have is an iPad2, which I love by the way! Regardless of whether I owned his products, he was obviously a brillant man who knew how to create technologies that appealed to the masses.

I saw this posting on twitter this morning and thought it was worth reposting here. I'll be curious to hear what you think and whether you 'Steve Jobs It': Do You 'Steve Jobs It'?
