Breaking everywhere right now.
Dear Steve, thank you. During your time in this world, you really did leave it a far better place.
Thoughts and prayers going out to his family tonight.

Steve Jobs has passed away
Darn you Steve Jobs!
My plans have been thrown afoul… because now I’ll have to be here next Friday afternoon to place my order for the iPad 2 on Apple’s website.
(Mash here for one of Engadget’s myriad of articles about the product’s unveiling today.)
I didn’t get an iPad last year, but I fell in love enough with the simplicity of the design that… I knew this was on my short-list of “things I never knew I needed” and ought to have. For more than a decade people have given me funny looks when I have to tell them that I’ve never had a laptop computer. I just don’t like how they’re made: too much that can get broken easily.

In what has become an annual event – and perhaps the most-watched PowerPoint presentation in history – Jobs unveiled the coming year’s new iPod models and whatever features that die-hard Appleholics should be lusting after.
So what new ubercoolness has the Jobs Mob for us this time? Frankly: not much. Jobs officially unveiled the new iPod nano, but if you’ve been paying attention to the rumors over the past few weeks this wasn’t unexpected at all. The new iPod nano goes back to the “tall” design that existed before the “fat” one last year, and displaying a widescreen movie means watching it with the iPod nano sideways. It also features an accelerometer, which among other things lets you violently shake the iPod nano and it automatically goes into ...
