It’s a sad day in the tech world. Steve Jobs has passed away at the age of 56.
His impact on the world of technology is undeniable, and the products (Macs, iPods, iPhones, Pixar) he championed have helped shaped the world we live in.
I had the opportunity to go to his keynote address introducing the iPhone in 2007. It was an experience I’ll never forget. In his honor, here’s a video of that presentation:
Steve, you’re vison and innovation will be missed.
This may make the live bloggers a little miffed, but apple announced they will live stream their event tomorrow. I love that they made this move.
