Jeez, here was me thinking he didn't front the Iphone 5 launch cos he wanted to leave it to Cook. He has left a massive legacy. I'm wondering if anyone will bring simplicity to the masses in the same way he did.

Yep - Britten was an amazing character. Born 1950 and died 1995.

Sad news.

I liked this quote from Obama:

"There may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."

Probably because people think there are more important things to expend emotional energy on than shedding tears for someone who was, no more and no less, a guy who convinced people that they needed certain things and then sold it to them - making a lot of money in the process.

He was a very slick marketer, corporate strategist, and CEO. Who also happened to have a good team of designers.

But let's not canonise him for god's sake.
