An iCon moves on

The day began with the news of the passing away of the legend. For a moment the news didn't sink in. And slowly realization crept in. Though not unexpected, the news of passing away of the Apple man, so soon, was surely surprising.
Ever since the first Macintosh was released in '84, the world has been divided into the apple'ites (if at all there is such a word) and the rest.
Even more than the divides he created in the computing world and the unification he brought into peoples lives through his vision, it was the fighting spirit with which he led his life that will be remembered forever.
One of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard  was made by him at Stanford. Those students at the commencement ceremony are surely going to remember the day when the greatest visionary of the technological world gave them a simple mantra..."Stay Hungry...Stay Foolish".
'Oh, and one more thing'...Steve Jobs, you will be missed but we know, even God couldn't resist the touch of Apple! R.I.P.
