My husband and I were on our way to work this morning when we found out from the radio show of "kabayan" Noli de Castro in DZMM 630 that Steve Jobs passed away...  We were SHOCKED!  Although it was inevitable, I still couldn't believe that he died just a few weeks after he stepped down as CEO of Apple and barely 1 day after the launch of IPhone 4S...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Iphone and I cannot thank Steve Jobs enough for coming up with such a cool product that's so easy-to-use!  The guy is a GENIUS!  I've read stories about his temperament, his obssessive-compulsiveness (OC) and his very, very high standards.  But I am thankful for those traits because if Steve Jobs were less OC or less of a perfectionist, then we wouldn't be having such great products like the Ipod, Iphone and Ipad! His success story as encapsulated in his Standford Commencement Speech  is so inspiring!

Just like the rest of the world, I'm sad... and I mourn the loss of a truly great man... I salute Steve Jobs for making our world a better place to live in through his innovative products...

Rest in peace, Steve Jobs! :)
