“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
– Apple Inc.

We felt that it was important to mention Steve Jobs on our site today – a site based on the great devices and technology he pioneered. We are all very sad at the passing of a man who was a designer first and a CEO second.

Now, I’ve been using Apple products virtually my entire life (starting with my Apple II) and have been amazed that with each new product released the bar has been continually raised. At our offices today we have multiple Macbook Pros, iPods, iPhones and iPads on virtually every work surface. This is not just because we do development with these devices, but because we genuinely enjoy using these products and find them to be essential in our personal lives as well. So, we’ve put together a list of influential years in Steve Job’s life that we think exemplify how much he has changed the personal computer, mobile and tablet landscape over the years:

1977: First Successful Personal Computer
1984: The Macintosh
1985: NeXT Computer – Jobs starts again.
1996: Apple buys NeXT and makes Jobs CEO again.
2000: Jobs introduces a new way of thinking about design for personal computers
2001: The iPod.
2006: Jobs redefines the laptop with the MacBook
2007: iPhone makes its debut
2010: The iPad brings tablets to the foreground.

For a man who helped create so much, we would like to thank him for his contributions and look forward to Apple continuing his legacy of great products in the years to come.

Sincerely,
