As usual, XKCD nails it.

Eternal Flame


It's hard to think of anything to say.  I mean, think where we'd be without Jobs: boring beige boxes using a kludgy CLI or a stone-age GUI, clunky flip-phones, and strangely shaped MP3 players that could hold a couple dozen songs.  These were the states of several types of computing devices before Apple waded in, led by Jobs and his vision of insane greatness.  Without Jobs' vision, I expect all of these devices would have advanced, but would not have been particularly fun to use, i.e.: really fast boring beige boxes, cell phones with even more buttons!, and increasingly cryptic MP3 players that could hold hundreds of songs.  Yes, the man does deserve our gratitude, and a place in our memories.
