RIP Steve Jobs: Honoring a man whose vision changed our lives

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:31:55 -0400

Steve Jobs, the visionary who co-founded Apple out of a garage and built it into the world's leading tech company, died Wednesday at the age of 56. Whether you're a MAC or PC person, a big techie or not... this is a man whose influence has not only changed the way we live today but whose legacy will live on forever.

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple," read the statement on the Apple website.

It's hard not to respect a man who undoubtedly and unequivocally changed the way we live today. It's hard not to respect a man whose loyalty to his family, children and charities never faltered even when his health did. It's hard not to respect a man who had such a powerful vision in his mind and didn't give up until it was brought to fruition. It's hard not to respect a man who once said, "our 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 other's 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."

Mr. Jobs' legacy will live on through each of us with our daily use of computers, cell phones, etc... However, a true celebration of his life would be for each of us to always remember we must believe in ourselves and in the beauty of our dreams best said by this quote:

"Here's to the crazy ones. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." ~Apple Inc

RIP Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

I'm new to the dating scene. My ex and I broke up a few months ago after being together for 3 years. Over the past few weeks I met two guys who I'd love to get to know more. I've been on dates with both of them. Well guy #1 asked me to go out with him on Saturday on the phone last night. Guy #2 hasn't asked me out again but we've been talking and texting. Guy #1 sent me a text saying that he was looking forward to hanging out on Saturday but I accidentally texted guy #2 I'm looking forward to Saturday too. He wrote back saying: What? I feel so dumb. What do I do? Help!

I split water on my laptop a little while ago and withing 5 seconds of the water going in it it shut down. I have it upside down and I heard blowdrying it might help, but it still isn't working. What should I do? Is there any saving it or is it gone for good? And if it's gone for good, how do I get my documents off of it?

Does anyone know a good professional camera I can buy? Not like the good ole digital cameras everyone has, but like the kind where you have to focus, and all that stuff for photography. I love to take pictures, and more than that, I love to scarp book, so I want to scrap book mu life for the next year, like the walk I take to school, my room, just make my life a big piece of art. So if anyone here in tech savvy, know any good cameras, a photographer, or just want to help me out, THANKS! lol.
