This man will be remembered with Einstein and Edison. Rest in Peace!

Mmmm......not quite.

He was definitely a revolutionary person and pushed technology to new heights but not on the level of Einstein.

This news has hit my company and myself harder than some. I have a job basically because of Job's vision. Without the iPhone, I honestly have no idea where I'd be working right now.

Anyone else staying up to pre-order tonight?

So, I was over on Central Park South around lunch time right near the big Apple Store. Grabbed a couple of pics while I was there and figured I would share them.

Steve Jobs Memorial outside the Apple Store there.

These are off-topic, but from pretty much the same location.


Just across the street the Occupy Wall Street protesters decide to make a trip to Central Park to protest in front of the homes of many super rich businessmen.

If you've seen the move Big with Tom Hanks. Here is the large foot piano he plays in the movie. It's located in the FAO Swartz Toy Store which the Apple Store entrance sits in front of.
