It's disheartening to see people so carelessly commenting on someone's life and death. Moralities aside, I'd rather wish for the old man''s health. The Tech world needs folks like him. The gadget would not be the same without him. I for one appreciate his contributions to the game changing stuff, the character, the charisma he's bought to the otherwise mundane segment. How many of non geek thought that a computer was a cool device before the original iMac happened? How many buoght a Rs 35000smartphone just because its the coolest thing since jeans? Heck, when a Pope and a 80+ year old Queen buys a gadget AND uses it, you know its upto something!
If not for anything else, I'm thankful for my mom being able to Tango (video call) me from her iTouch 4G to show how my 2yr old kid is dancing or singing a new poem.
