The wealth of knowledge Steve accumulated since his return to Apple in 1996 to create the most valuable company on earth has affected everything from design/art, mathematics, technology/engineering, economics, philosophy/psychology, marketing. I believe the next generation has a lot to learn from him and it could be structured in a way to create the next generation of great leaders and thinkers, not just in same fields, but all facets of life.
Here's to Jobs University
Lets see it happen by 2020.
Note: I am not asking for a cult university here, just the best of Jobs thinking structured in a way that can benefit humanity. He was human, so he did have his flaws, but his talent overshadowed them.
Miss you Steve. Keynotes are really never the same.
Agreed. Tim Cook seems more comfortable on stage doing the keynotes than he did in the beginning (then again his first one for the iPhone 4S was right before Steve died), but not the same as when Steve would give it. I loved it when he would give the keynotes, show off the products, and then say "one more thing."
It's the way of Hollywood now. Why create when you can make a ton of money by recycling, and we encourage it by buying this stuff. It's easy money.
+1... So now, Tim cook says "one extra thing" ...
For some reason, Steve just *had it*
That line always got me, as a sort of "another bit of excitement"

Agreed. It was great when he would share one more surprise.
Cars 2 was a clear dud, but Brave was awesome. My perspective may be colored by the fact that two of my three young children are daughters, but as far as they are concerned it's just about the best movie ever made. (Which for kids is the gold standard, and was met by most previous Pixar films.) I suspect a lot of folks just still aren't ready to have a female protagonist carry the story. Look at the disappointing box office of Salt, which was made from a great script and had a bankable star in Jolie. Old ingrained notions die hard.
Now with John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, et al. doing work under the Disney Animation banner as well, we should see high quality output across the board. I enjoyed every minute of Wreck-It Ralph and my kids are all anxious to see it this weekend.

Well I am not surprised, they got to honor the man who gave them the computers that do all of their animations on.
And the big irony is that Disney now owns Lucasfilm too. The circle is complete.
