    Irony, apparently, is not part of any sermon at Westboro.

    If the newspaper industry had a Steve Jobs it would be in a lot better shape

    “The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.” - Jobs from 1996, when he took back over at Apple.

    I don't think they're horrible people. It's just that too many of them can't think for themselves.

    Oh, XYZ's quarterly profits were only $1.35 billion instead of the $1.36 billion that some idiotic talking head projected. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

    But to get back to the original subject matter, yes, RIP.

    Interesting parallel, at least to me: My uncle passed away a couple of months ago, at age 57, of liver failure brought on by surgery for, yep, pancreatic cancer. Ironically, though it was the cancer that caused all the trouble, he actually was cancer-free when he died.

    I wonder if the same was true for Jobs.

    Lesson here: It doesn't matter how much money you have sometimes. Especially not with pancreatic cancer, which is quite possibly the most hideous gargoyle at the monsters' ball that is cancer.

    From The New York Times:

    "After dropping out of Reed College, a stronghold of liberal thought in Portland, Ore., in 1972, Mr. Jobs led a countercultural lifestyle himself. He told a reporter that taking LSD was one of the two or three most important things he had done in his life. He said there were things about him that people who had not tried psychedelics — even people who knew him well, including his wife — could never understand."

    Lesson? Do acid!! But, in all seriousness, I DEFINITELY see where he is coming from with the things people "could never understand."

    My guess is HOF well before the veterans committee.

    I forgot about Jobs' early involvement in Pixar.

    You mean the studio they were going to shut down? Sometimes being lucky helps with being a genius.
