Steve Jobs perdeu ontem à noite a luta contra o cancro.
“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being,”
lia uma mensagem no site da Apple.
“Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”
Apple board of directors:
“We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.
“Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.
“His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.”
Desde da meia noite que a informação começou a surgir sobre a morte de Steve Jobs. No inicio, poucos reagiram – afinal não queriam novamente cair no erro de partilhar informação incorreta – já várias vezes no passado o tinham feito e Steve Jobs vivia. Desta vez não foi.
Não vale a pena escrever muito mais sobre Steve Jobs – hoje a imprensa nacional e internacional vai estar a reviver cada momento da vida de Steve Jobs – o que se esquecem é que pouco sabem sobre ele – um homem reservado e capaz de manter a sua vida, bem como o que acontece na Apple, fora do alcance dos media e do público em geral.
Melhor mesmo é ver este vídeo num dos melhores discursos de sempre.

Como Jobs disse,
“you can’t join the dots going forward, but you can sure join them going back”
e se pararmos um pouco para pensar, vamos perceber a razão pelo qual o ultimo lançamento da Apple, liderado pelo Tim Cook, foi tão sombrio – afinal o seu líder e mentor estaria prestes a morrer a qualquer momento.
