I think Jobs died in 2009 during his liver transplant only to rise again having achieved Oneness with the Universe. His transformation complete, he will lead us into the Heavenly age of computing.

Don’t forget the impact Jonathon Ive has had – Steve Jobs put him in his role around 97 or so.

I would rate this as Job’s smartest hire/promotion and the one that has has the most impact on the design success of Apple.

I’ve got the perfect name for it: The Apple Launch Pad. It’s where everything begins.

It’s time to end the “i” prefix naming convention. Getting old.

For the record … the “tablet” is 84 inches, has 6 legs and will be known as iPool ®. (To play 8-Ball, Billiards, snooker and have a virtual dip whenever you fancy.)

Luminance on the more expensive models can be increased to create the iTan ® table.

Options include iDinner ® which creates a virtual dining table – apps store provides the cuisine of your choice – most major cuisines accommodated including fruiterian and Xtremocarno.

You heard it here first!

“After retaining control of Apple, Jobs canceled Newton”

I’d say he reGained” control of Apple!

Otherwise, great post, Daniel. As usual.

And now also “boarding” Disney!

(Not to mention how wise he is about investments… sells NeXT and controls Apple, sells Pixar and controls Disney…)

In this line of successes, it seems easy to forget about Jobs’ success at Pixar. As he said, it may be easy to create movies that appeal to 5 year olds, but not easy to make them appeal to their parents too. He settles for nothing less than excellence in EVERY respect.

You forget to remember that, over all that time, Steve underwent a pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant surgeries!
