Junto aqui duas das melhores homenagens que vi sobre Steve Jobs:

A primeira do xkcd.com teorizando sobre o que seria um memorial a ele na imagem acima.

A segunda é um texto do The Onion enviado por @alexferrer que verdadeiramente capta o espírito dessa perda, onde o mais louco é fazer isso com humor ao mesmo tempo.

CUPERTINO, CA—Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Computers and the only American in the country who had any clue what the fuck he was doing, died Wednesday at the age of 56. "We haven't just lost a great innovator, leader, and businessman, we've literally lost the only person in this country who actually had his shit together and knew what the hell was going on," a statement from President Barack Obama read in part, adding that Jobs will be remembered both for the life-changing products he created and for the fact that he was able to sit down, think clearly, and execute his ideas—attributes he shared with no other U.S. citizen. "This is a dark time for our country, because the reality is none of the 300 million or so Americans who remain can actually get anything done or make things happen. Those days are over." Obama added that if anyone could fill the void left by Jobs it would probably be himself, but said that at this point he honestly doesn’t have the slightest notion what he’s doing anymore.

Agora eu entendo perfeitamente quando alguém enche a boca para falar que viu Pelé jogar.

É uma honra ter sido contemporâneo disso.

Obrigado, Steve.

“a little like a spaceship landed” ~ Steve Jobs.

Aqui a apresentação ao conselho da cidade de Cupertino, ele falou entre outras coisas da história do lugar - a área pertencia a HP, onde ele trabalhou pela primeira vez.

Plena verdade ou não, tem um punhado de coisas no mínimo curiosas aí.

“America needs to focus on getting Jobs — Steve Jobs. Because something tells me that Apple would have come up with a better idea for stopping an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico than putting a giant box on top of it.

In 2001, Apple reinvented the record player. In 2007, the phone. This year, the computer. I say, for 2011, we let them take a crack at America. Our infrastructure, our business model, our institutions. Get rid of the stuff that’s not working, replace it with something that does. For example, goodbye US Senate — Hello Genius Bar! So good luck, Steve — you’ll need it!”

Apesar de ser um humorista o cara tem um ponto, e você o que acha?
