Well, I am one of the persons who envies my friends that has an iPod, or an iPhone, or the latest iPad because I know that it'll accompany me to my daily life. Like for the instance of the iPod. I am passionate with music like everyone else so I gotta listen to my favorite bands and keep those new releases in. Plus, if I have one, I can scrobble it directly to my Last.fm account. If I have an iPhone, I could do it all in one gadget. I can text, call, play apps, play music, play video, surf on the net and more. I had an experience using an iPhone with my college friend Sean and it was cool. Same goes if I have an iPad, it's like the miniature laptop if you ask me. All you gotta do is slide, plus it's convenient. That's how Apple products catches my attention all these years especially with new releases.


So, I heard yesterday morning that the co-founder and former CEO of Apple Steve Jobs passed away. Well, my initial reaction was shocking because I haven't received any news from him lately since he unveiled the iPhone 4. When I heard he was battling Pancreatic Cancer for seven years, I was like... all these years of presenting latest from Apple, the man behind the popular black shirt with jeans while on Apple HQ, was all this time suffering yet he was still doing his therapy and Jobs had a liver transplant back in 2007.


Here it is. The young Steve Jobs and the old Steve Jobs. What is the difference? In my opinion, nothing. No comparison. Steve Jobs just grow old but he still have that creative mind of his and made people convenient with their daily life. He's like the Thomas Edison of the modern era if you ask me. He's truly one of my inspirations.



Jobs helped us to make our lives easier through his creative mind and with a heart of wanting to see the world a better place. It's his passion in technology. Since he invented the Mackintoshhome computer and I was astounded with that when I saw the video of him releasing Mackintosh. The personal computer speaks for itself . That's what I saw in my two eyes. Even though it's old. I was amazed because at that time, there were no forms of communication, besides television to people, telegram and telephone, but Jobs and the other 1984 men changed it, for the sake of the bright future ahead of their time. They even edges the 1989 version of the home computer. That was astounding.



I remember when I watched on CNN on October 6th, that was a Thursday, they featured a video wherein Steve Jobs was one of the speakers for Stamford University's commencement exercises on 2005. Included to his speech was his views on death. The video below.



Steve Jobs physically maybe gone but people felt like he's here with us by using the Apple products he invented throughout the years in the modern era like the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. Steve Jobs is one of my inspirational people. He had a tremendous contribution to the technology world. Thanks a lot for everything. RIP Steve Jobs. You left your mark on our desks, on our ears and in our hands. Thank you for bringing the future to everyone of us. You are a visionary from Apple to the whole wide world. I may not have any of Apple's products but I feel every people that somehow touched their lives with an iPod, an iPhone or iPad. iSad! iPray!

I know one of your reminders is that the comments should be related to the topic, but since I don't know how else to reach you (I can't post on your last.fm wall), I guess this is the last resort.

I'm not sure if you were already able to acquire the Techy Romantics album, but I just wanna share that I was able to torrent it here:
