One of my favorite Benjamin Franklin quotes is:
I have sometimes wish’d it had been my destiny to have
been born two or three centuries hence.
I wonder if Steve Jobs felt the same way. I would like to believe that the visionary that he was, his peaceful end was comforted by the fact that all that he envisioned was all on the right path. His few dreams that were not already made reality would soon reach millions. Not only that, but millions if not billions of people around the world now understand his vision, not just the beauty and application of his products, but the implications of a future of grand dreams and great taste.
I will forever regret never meeting the man.
But I was never worth his time.
Now he has all the time in the world to relax with the greats: http://bit.ly/ng7PmU http://bit.ly/ng7PmU
He gave us platforms. Now it's in our hands.

Steve knew his calling and thus the world took so much of his precious time. Less than 60 years of life: We shall forever make the best of it as he rests in peace.
The clip affected me more than anything thus far. I think I'm ready to move on now, he gave so much but the world demands so much more. For now, I think I'm done up-voting Steve Jobs.
- mark_up 15y agoWow, whoever drew that cartoon knows very little about those people. Mr. Jobs is a legend, but he's no Ben Franklin. He had a lot in common with Edison though... in particular getting credit for the inventions and work of his incredibly talented employees. Also... like Edison, he used patent litigation extensively to crush or hinder opposition.
