Steve Jobs at Home in 1982. “This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” – Steve Jobs
A tiny tribute on my blog to one of the most inspiring design and technology visionaries. Thank you for everything. 
To quote an amazing tribute post I read recently  - 
“Thank you for demanding perfection, for considering what a real user needs, for the quality of Apple’s end products, for the focus on ease of use and attractiveness of both Apple hardware and software. Thank you for the iPhone, the iPad and this MacBook Pro I blog on.

Thank you for the app ecosystem and the mobile landscape it produced. Thank you for inspiring mobile developers. Thank you for forcing competitors to make Android and webOS and Windows Phone, and thank you for forcing them to make them better and better. Thank you for tablets. Thank you for iTunes (well, sort of). Thank you for making the Internet portable.
Thank you for the Genius Bar, so I can stop fixing other people’s computers. Thank you for the Apple Store, where limited choices mean easy decisions for non-technical people.
Thank you for institutionalizing your ideas so Apple can live on without you. 
And thank you for wanting to make a ding in the universe.”
