Death as release

I’ve been triggered by the headline:

Steve Jobs honoured by Silicon Valley

What is about death that triggers celebration?

This is all this blog will ever say about Apple

It was called beautiful because it had a certain flow. That a creation could be so mass-marvelled at and personally held. The iPod. Oh dream! And its creator is no more.

Steve Jobs has had an impact. That the iPad has failed to revolutionise computing shows the extent of his reach. There will still be a lot of  iPads sold.

That is all I have to say today about Steve Jobs.
