Bloggers (and their kids) loved Steve Jobs

by Rita Arens

"I saw my first iPhone at a blogging conference. And my first iPad. In my mind, blogging and Steve Jobs are inextricably linked. And tonight the blogosphere says farewell to Steve Jobs..."

Lisen's Neighbor

by Lisen Stromberg

"The business press, the general press, the blogosphere, and just about everybody else has waxed poetic about the “greatest CEO of all time” saying that this “boy wonder” has shaped the very nature of our lives with his genius.

"It’s all true, but here in Palo Alto, Steve Jobs isn’t just an icon, he’s also the guy who lives down the street...."

Goodnight Steve Jobs: A Hero's Goodbye

by Melissa Ford

"Josh called with the news, 15 minutes from home, while we were watching Harry Potter. “Keep him up,” he told me. 'Wait for me to get there...' "

The TED Talk: Steve Jobs - How to Live Before You Die

by Steve Jobs, produced by Stanford University and available on TED.com, recommended by DesiValentine4.

On this video, Jobs shares so much wonderful advice, that I don't think this, my favorite quote, is a spoiler:

"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

~ Steve Jobs

Not a spoiler. More like a gift. Thanks.

	The Size Of A Combined Yahoo-Microsoft If Microsoft were to go for it and buy Yahoo, together they would have the most unique visitors of any company out there. We asked comScore for a look at what their combined, non-overlapping uniques would be. Using August data, the answer is 212 million in the U.S. That's bigger, but not by much, than Google, which has 183 million. (Thanks to Phil Pearlman for chart inspiration) Read »
