The man who brought us Apple computers is making a slow exit from the IT world. This article talks about how Jobs is sick and no one is paying it any attention. The man is a genius and should be remembered for his contribution to computers.
Here's a little snipped from the article.
When Bill Gates went into retirement, we threw him a week-long celebration and wished him well on his journey through philanthropy at his foundation. The comings and goings of Steve Jobs have been less ceremonious. He's been sick and Apple's tried to down play that and his importance to the company so the company, his life's work, can go on after he retires. And having to do it without much fanfare so the company doesn't seem too reliant on him. Look: Last Monday the first press release came out in months with a Steve quote in it, and he was seen on campus. But no one at Cupertino is making a big deal of it. Here's the thing: None of us really want to believe that he's not important. It's total bullshit to think that, if you look at his life and where his work fits in history.
Enjoy.
