Wie auch immer... ich bin gespannt, wie es mit Apple weitergehen wird. Ich glaube nicht, dass ein Tim Cook das leisten kann, was ein Steve Jobs geleistet hat. Cook ist ein grosser Stratege (alter IBMer), aber eben kein kreativer Visionär.

Despite knowing he was dying, Steve Jobs worked for more than a year on the products that he believed would safeguard the company's future.
'Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new' - Steve Jobs, 2005
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."
[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]
“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”
[NBC Nightly News, May 2006]
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
