R.I.P.
I hope he can't hear some of the bullshit being said about him though.
I heard him reffered to as "the Ghandi of Silicone Valley" Ghandi? Really? Why can't people just say he was a great businessman as that's what he was, not a saviour.
He added a hdd to the mp3 player, then added a phone and then made it huge. Cool shit but it ain't leading a country to independence through non-violent civil disobedience: not even close.
He was a smart guy who made a crappy little company into a market leader. He knew the market and how to get people to buy his shit. Please people...talk about the things he actually did rather than making completely untrue comparisons. It is completely disrespectful to make stuff up, even if it's positive stuff, it should be said if it's not true.
