He is one of the few people to mix technology and business together and make it work!!!.

Most are good at one and bad at the other.

Apple won't be the same without him. No more vision, the iPhone 4s was released on a whimper and already the iPhone is 50% of apple's revenue.

They need more vision and products to stay on top, doubtfull without jobs. Already there on the path that took microsoft down, instead of making a new product they just rebrand and update the existing one.

I bet we well get to iPhone 10 by the time the decade is over with minor improvements on the previous model.

He will be missed.

I suspect he was dead a lot earlier and they chose to relase the news after they relased the iPhone 5.

I mean Steave jobs is to Apple as Robert E Lee is to the confederacy.

Steve Jobs natal comparison w. Apple I date of 4.1.1976 Jobs has accurate time of birth.

Apple I has been under a progressed Mars to n.Saturn conjunction. Mars/Saturn can relate to death it can also relate to coming back better than before after a long absence, and gaining rewards for hard work.
There are a few conjunctions to Jobs chart on 4/1 so we do know it is early April. Around that time solar arc Moon (ruler of 11th) was conj n.Mars playing into his grand cross so he possibly felt it was a good idea to bringing his passions before the public since Moon easily relates to public appeal and 11th is house of fans. So he must have intuitively felt that somewhere Wozniak had a winning product.
I don't know his bio like you do but in Wikipedia it states he sold his car to finance the comp's creation. There are a few things that could relate to this. Number one is natal Saturn in the 3rd could show problems related to transportation that impair getting around town, solar arc Neptune was conj his Saturn there and as Neptune dissolves he likely felt that his dream superseded his need to comfortably get around. His natal Neptune hints at finances anyway since it's placed in his 2nd and actually rules 7th house of partnerships. So this was something he willingly involved himself in . Another interesting note is p.Venus conj his n.Merc in Aqua in his 5th house of creative effort so there were prob a lot of ideas being sparked at this time. Venus rules his 2nd house of finances so it's likely that he had a premonition that there was something to be gained here if he could just focus the Aquarian energy to his benefit. His progressed Sun in natal 7th now instead of 6th might have put focus on partnerships and how he could bring his tinkering/focus on details (Sun h6) into a collaboration with another. Sun rules the Leo 12th so in the back of his mind he might have had dreams of making it big instead of being seen as the typical nerdy persona that Virgo ASC + h6 Sun can give off. He had solar arc Mercury conj n.Sun, Mercury carrying the natal inventive Aquarian energy to his focus in the 6th on really squirreling away at a project.

I admire the man and respect what he is created, I gave him a lot of gratitude from being a unwanted baby to a success, everyone loves a self made man.

Thats inspration we can all take and admire.

However, I hate the arrogance, control freak, cunning and cut throat buissness man he was.

I don't agree with the fact that he has taken advantage of peoples poor purchasing decisions.

Half of the consumers who buy apple products don't know the basics. Do they know the diffrence between ddr2 and ddr3 memory? do you they know the diffrence software can also make.

Do they really understand how multi-threading realy works?.

Do they relize the iPad can't fully replace your laptop, the average person doesn't know that.

All tech companies take advantage of that fact, but appl is the worst for profiting of peoples lack of technical knowledge.

Appl success is 80% marketing and branding.
There comeback is mainly on Steave coming back and jumping on the mobile device market early on with the ipod and to where we are know.

This is so sad and I am amazed at how his death has affected so many people around the world.

The htc sensation and htc xl is already ahead of the iphone. The mobile space is getting more competive and apple has to define another market to move forward.

Tim Cook is a supply chain genius and Steave was a innovator, together they work well. Tim is the opposite of Steave Jobs.

Tim Cook is the next best person, but he isn't as great as Jobs was.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I was about to sign up to be an apple mobile developer, because I know I could get away makeing $$$ with my code. But, didn't knowing its not right.

Its because of Appl that I don't like the tech field anymore and rather be in geomatics combining computer science - enviromentalism together.
