[microsound] RIP Steve Jobs

[yugen]

ok, now your point is much more clear and i understand what you mean,  
we know how media work. i think today anyway you have some powerful  
instruments to go against them, thanks to social networks and blogs  
and the internet, which was impossible for my generation. most of the  
young people got news from facebook and the internet, not tv or  
newspaper.

i do not think world stopped today for his death either. he was a  
businessman? sure. i do not like at all apple products status symbol,  
i only got a mac for the first time in my 40s, but i think we cannot  
deny that he was a genius of our time. he was a millionaire too. yes.
