RIP Steve Jobs

This morning was a rather shocking morning as I checked my feeds and the news arrived to me. Steve Jobs has passed away at age 56. He was a man of vision no matter what you may think of Apple. He will be missed by the tech community. Bellow is one of my favorite instances of a speech by Steve that really gives you a rare look at the man outside of the keynote area. More coverage to come on samcast this week. RIP Steve you will be missed.
