...as Tim leans in, Steve whispers into his ear... there is another Skywalker
epic Steve
You win the internetz
My take:
When your time here is going and you know it, you are trying to accomplish as much as possible before your last second.
Driven by Excellence.
RIP Mr Steve Jobs.

to all the maudlin comments about how sad it was that he was NOT devoting his time to saying goodbyes and preparing to shutdown. just maybe he had already spent time saying goodbye to those he really cared to say goodbye to, he had already prepared something for his family in the many numerous in-depth interviews he did for the book, and was there in the home everyday now.
just maybe that since he had everything in order by then and like any restless brilliant mind he hadn't turned off the all that experience, obsession, passion that had driven him to where he was, just perhaps the best balm for his mind he could have is Tim coming over to discuss the future details. Jobs was always obsessed with details and future plans (just look at his presentation of the plans for the new Apple HQ at the town meeting a few months ago). What better than to lose yourself in your passion for a timeless moment and forget the inevitable for a little time.
I can't imagine he would have any desire to lay around ticking off the time while family hovered over him wailing.

Funny how you call this guy out for judging Steve...then turn around and assemble a group to research and judge him.
Every single report about his death has commented on how he was focused on spending much more time with his family in his last few months.
How do either of you know this? YOu are making this statement on heresay. Even if he was with this family, can he not still call in to Tim Cook? As others have said, maybe it was not about a phone but TC was being polite to say goodbye to his Boss. Or maybe it was SJ's family calling Tim to tell him that Steve was in grave condition
FU** "alternative medicine". There's usually no harm in doing so-called "alternative medicine" in addition to doing modern medicine, but when people fall for the BS and choose to do alternative medicine INSTEAD of doing modern medicine then it literally kills people and robs the world of people who still had so much more to give. Steve Jobs clearly still had so much more good stuff inside of him that he wanted to create for all of us. But now he's dead way before he had to be, which is terrible for him, and he died before creating all the great technology for the world that he would've gone on to create, which sucks for us. All that loss due to his insisting on doing alternative medicine instead of modern medicine. Until he finally turned to western medicine when it was already too late.
eff alternative medicine.
eff alternative medicine.
actually, working to live better has limits. How many books and movies describe characters who are considered by society to be successful but feel empty inside.
People that enjoy what they do and find meaning, passion, and purpose in their work, will often say they don't consider it working. It's fun for them. People like Steve aren't living to "work", they are enjoying the heck out of what they like doing no matter how hard the work might appear to others.
I feel sorry for you if you can't understand this.
but who do the stockholders report to ???
They report to Belzebu
. Even the devil reports to God."Steve Jobs continued to work on Apple's "next product" at least up until the day before he died earlier this month"
Gee, thanks dad.

if you read the quote (not from a group i assembled, just people all online at the same time reading about S. Jobs, whom we all considered to be committed, focused and a model for being exceptional) it references the sadness of anyone who would judge "...what other people do with their lives in their last hours, at home, with their family."
we may be young, and surely make mistakes, but still question our elders. signing off on this one.
On the day Steve Jobs died, God went to St-Micheal and said "Tiddy things up, our boss is coming.
I think you all aren't getting the point on what Steve said about his kids getting to know him. I think he meant that they knew him as a father, and he wanted them to know what he was like outside of their world.

You're joking, right? It doesn't even remotely look real.
