Rather than writing his obituary, I thought it would be better to pay tribute to Steve Jobs by stealing one of his ideas. That’s why I made this last Think Different video, in memoriam.
More: Gizmodo’s Steve Jobs Obituary. We’re going to miss him.
I’m sure he would have hated it, but whatever. You’re dead now, Steve, you crazy round peg in the square hole, you handsome bastard, you insufferable and unrepeatable genius you. Deal with it, because now the world will suck a bit more without your love for perfection, your hyperbolic obsession with magical devices, your insanely great ideas and booms and one more things.
Fanboys and haters, friends and foes — especially your foes, who now will not be able to copy your ideas anymore — will miss you dearly.
I know I will.

Deal with it. It’ll be a few days, then you’ll never see any more. So just chill.

Just not for this reason ;_;
