The New Guard of the Technology Industry
The technology world (and substantially beyond) has suffered a great loss through the passing of Steve Jobs. In the midst of the overwhelming outpouring of praise, support, and condolences – and amidst my own shock and reminiscing – there’s a lingering question that I haven’t been able to shake: how will the eventual new guard of the technology industry uphold the spirit of innovation and pure, whimsical, adventurous passion for creating new products and experiences that, like a metaphorical torch, is slowly being passed to them?

Jobs was a devilishly curious visionary with an unparalleled eye for detail. Will the new minds entering the playing field today be able to summon the insight, creativity, and courage necessary to reach the bar that’s been set up for them? Will the new generation of technological innovators be able to rise above their own piddly self-afflictions and nonsensical squats with one another long enough to envision a better world? Will they see, with acquired clarity, exactly how they must sink their claws into those fleeting wisps of imagination long enough to tear them open into a new reality that can be shared with everyone?

I sincerely hope this is the case. I hope that with every subtle reminder of our own impermanence comes a torrential reaffirmation to the goal of being in this world to make it, through whatever path we may take, a better place for those who surround us, and for those who will yet reign when we have gone.
This means a lot to me

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be
truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to
do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep
looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when
you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as
the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle."

June 12th 2005 Stanford commencement speech
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

May not be directly from Steve Jobs, but that has inspired me more than almost anything else. Well, that and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream".

SF and the peninsula are roughly equal. SF might be better if you want web designers, and the peninsula if you want database people.

Mountain View is cheaper than Palo Alto. Otherwise they're similar.
Every time I see this commercial it inspires me to go forward. I would love to see Apple embrace the campaign again
Especially since we as a species have eliminated so many other "natural" causes of death thanks to vaccines, antibiotics, sanitation etc. What we are left with are what we have not yet solved: cancer, heart disease and strokes (mostly).

Cancer also becomes naturally more likely as time goes on and DNA has become more damaged so as our lifespans increase, so do the odds of getting cancer.
My Tribute to Steve Jobs
You've made me a better person and I will miss you but I will never forget what you've taught me.
Rest in peace, Steve.
Steve, you are going to be missed terribly! :(
In the coming weeks, more stuff like this will start to appear. I will be really upset of why this appears, with him going away. But his biggest legacy is a new generation of inspired people, going forward where he left us now.
The saddest thing is to think what kind of further impact Steve could have had over the next 20, 30 or 40 years.

What a remarkable career and life. You have inspired millions (billions?) and will truly be missed.
That's an awesome quote. I'm going to write it down.

He touched so many people by being such an inspiration, I'm going to miss him. I'm writing a book, a life manual or something like that, and I wanted to ask him a question or to give a unique quote for the book but I guess I waited too long to ask. I was thinking about that last month when he resigned. This just goes to remind me that I better hurry up and get that book written or my project finished...just in case.
Do you really believe it's intentional? I think it reflects quite beautifully on the importance of the contributions Jobs made to technology and what an inspiring character he was.

Would you complain about flowers blocking the sidewalk? Just give it time.

I never knew the man, but somehow he always knew what I wanted. An incredible leader and source of inspiration. Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Redmine is what we're using now. It's had a very positive effect on our team's productivity and I wish we'd switched sooner. We've had problems with a few third-party plug-ins but Redmine itself has been very stable.

It's been a long road getting to where we are now. In the past we've used hosted tools on a per-project basis (Assembla, Unfuddle, Basecamp, etc.) and even built our own. Coming to Redmine, hosting it on our own server (which is necessary due to the kind of data we're working with) and customizing it for our projects has been delightful.

Not everything has been dandy, though. For one, getting it installed on Debian was rather difficult. It was actually easier to update Lenny to Squeeze and then install Redmine than it was to get Redmine running on Lenny.

More importantly, the quality of some third-party plug-ins we're using are highly varied when it comes to code quality, usability and / or documentation. The developer community is very active around Redmine, but unfortunately the plug-ins directory and forums are not equally as active.
Thank you, Paul.
Its very sad to loose him so early. We should move in the paths he has shown us. May his soul rest in peace.

Jobs in '96 on future of Apple and explains OOP in lay terms
This is from the Think Different campaign (1997+): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_Different

I really shouldn't admit this but /cough circa 1997 I had abandoned Apple. I had a PC and Linux box at home and Unix terminal at school. I remember being impressed by this campaign and hopeful that Jobs would fix Apple. But I couldn't have imagined what Apple and Steve Jobs had in store for the world. What a remarkable recovery. Thanks Steve.
Later, Steve. May your vision live on.
Steve Jobs: Gone But Impossible To Forget
Definitely appropriate, for this community even more so. Steve was an inspiration, an icon, a legend.
They should air this one, with Steve narrating it.
Give people a moment. Steve Jobs has been a very prominent figure in the high-tech industry for 4 decades, since the dawn of the personal computer. He has not only watched but in many cases husbanded the transformation of the computer from an industrial device to a personal computer to sci-fi worthy pocket and tablet computers. His passing is worth a few hours of minor inconvenience in discussing other topics on HN (just advance to the next page or two, it's not exactly a chore).

They are all mostly ornamental design patents?

The first one I randomly looked at was Apple TV. It lists 14 people for an ornamental design for a square media player.

Another is how to package an iPod in a box? Seems unnecessary to patent all these things.

Those are electrostatic speakers. They are only about 2 inches thick. I think they are acoustat model 3. Probably cost $1000 in 1985. The man clearly liked his music... and not cats, as those speakers were known for electrocuting cats.

What Makes Your Business So Special?
Steve Jobs on "Internet startups"
“The problem with the Internet startup craze isn’t that too many people are starting companies; it’s that too many people aren’t sticking with it. That’s somewhat understandable, because there are many moments that are filled with despair and agony, when you have to fire people and cancel things and deal with very difficult situations. That’s when you find out who you are and what your values are.

“So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they’re gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their new-found wealth in perspective.” [Fortune, Jan. 24, 2000]
Thank you, Steve.

Can you recommend any good resource/book for learning websockets using PHP/Python/JavaScript?

Also, what can be applications other than chat where one can use websockets?
Perhaps not a hero, but certainly an innovator, visionary, and a Silicon Valley icon. I'm sure many of us are still a bit shocked.

As far as regular people. just do your research about what people are like, and what the city is like.

Hopefully it's not a doodle. A doodle is something you have to prepare, design, draw, it's not made overnight.

That's the kind of tribute which I find a bit creepy. I mean, unless this was used another time, it looks like it was prepared "in case of the event".

Well, I guess this kind of thing is common anyway. See all the "life of Steve Jobs" articles which are popping in the news, written months ago.

But it still feels not fully right.

Things You didn't Know at all about Steve Jobs
We all love Steve Jobs. His lifestyle and experiences are most kept private.

Here are some of them I've compiled from articles across the Internet.

1. LSD: After he dropped out of college, he traveled to India looking for enlightenment, became a Buddhist, and experimented with the psychedelic drug LSD.
Jobs describes his LSD experience as "one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life"

2.He's a Buddhist: He was such a hardcore Zen Buddhist that he almost thought about joining a monastery and becoming a monk. He was married in a Buddhist tradition by a Zen monk; who was his own personal guru.

3.Pesco-vegetarianism: He's actually a Pescetarian, which means he eats fish but no other meat. He will eat eggs, dairy and anything else a vegetarian would eat.

Anything else worth mentioning please add up.

Any time you want to be able to send messages between the browser and a server, websockets are an easy and efficient way to do it. Of course, not all browsers support them, so it's good if you can fall back to long polling. If you just want to get started hacking, socket.io is a surprisingly slick abstraction layer:

Steve Jobs - Crazy Enough to Change the World [autoplayed video]
Here is to the crazy ones - Think Different
Business owners might appreciate an opportunity to be part of a feedback loop they can generalize - say greater than 30% discount just isn't possible due to cost structure (group buy won't matter)- let them indicate that somehow for their business to filter/feedback future requests, so they don't feel like they are getting bullied with a lot of requests greater than that.

For users, maybe let them also offer non-monetary factors for discount - off-peak / non-prime hours, introduce a friend, available on short notice to fill a cancellation, post a blog or tweet, post a local sign, ??, etc. - bartering a little for the discount where the retailer would see value in the barter. Groupon can't do this, but your personalized approach seems ideal for this.

In cases where business finds deals that work, archive them for the business, then offer to post or syndicate them on-demand as desired by business to drum up demand on an ongoing basis.

And to keep users interested, do something where you as the service do random (or not so random) selections and 'make the discount' happen for the requester, at _no_ cost to the merchant.

Final paragraph:

The full legacy of Steve Jobs will not be sorted out for a very long time. When employees first talked about Jobs’ “reality distortion field,” it was a pejorative — they were referring to the way that he got you to sign on to a false truth by the force of his conviction and charisma. But at a certain point the view of the world from Steve Jobs’ brain ceased to become distorted. It became an instrument of self-fulfilling prophecy. As product after product emerged from Apple, each one breaking ground and changing our behavior, Steve Job’s reality field actually came into being. And we all live in it.

That sounds like an enduring meme -- his reality-distortion field has become our reality.
Yes, I totally agree on that also.
That's a lovely form factor. Kern the numbers more evenly, the distance between the "1" and "9" is far more than the distance between the "9" and "5", and the "2" in "2011" is far closer to the "0" than the "1".
"Jobs was considering not having the surgery at all. A Buddhist and vegetarian, the Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) CEO was skeptical of mainstream medicine. Jobs decided to employ alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer, hoping to avoid the operation through a special diet - a course of action that hasn't been disclosed until now."

Thanks, I must admit I was rushing so much that I didn't even work on the kerning. I'll check this later today.
I wouldn't agree that cancer is just a fact of life. Here's why:

1. Young people get cancer, when they are otherwise healthy.

2. Cancer is subject to epidemiological trends suggesting that there are definite causes related to lifestyle or the environment.

3. You can reduce your risk of cancer/dying of cancer by not smoking, exercise, maintaining a normal body weight, and participating in screening programs. There are no guarantees of course.

4. Some cancers are curable eg testicular cancer can be cured even if widespread, with chemotherapy. Also Hodgkin's lymphoma and of course early stage cancer of the breast and bowel.

Incidentally, Steve Jobs had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour, which is distinct from the normal run of the mill pancreatic cancer that has a poorer prognosis.

IPhone 4S- The Best iPhone Ever Made (Specs)
This is brilliant. People playing games for rewards they can redeem (duh). More in-depth. People making an actual effort for their reward, and having fun doing it. The effort made (playing the game) is something I feel strongly about, especially as companies freely customize the deal offered. This amongst others means that the company is able to track what people are prepared to do for what. I know this is sweetened by the fact that they're playing games, and different games have different effort levels. I feel this will be much more effective than low-ball dealsites like groupon. I have my feelings regarding groupon, which almost anonymizes the actual vendor, leaving them feeling raped by the scavanger-like clientele, only looking for the cheapest possible, I am talking from personal experience having launched a few campaigns.

As the the businesses in article state;

"We prefer Dobango over other sites like Groupon, LivingSocial, because Dobango has helped bring in higher quality customers that are more likely to come back rather than clients looking for one time low-ball deals, who are not likely to become repeat customers."

This is where the money's at.

User adoption is incredibly important. However, having a community with a large userbase, you have a responsability to keep them happy. To do so, having an inventory/product/service to offer your users is what will keep them coming back, ergo, keeping your suppliers happy is equally important.

Groupon is great, but me in my expertise as a marketing manager/consultant, the cost of marketing was far too great, and the clientele produced wouldn´t really come back again to our hotel. I'm sure groupon works for businesses that can support that high level of discount, such as established franchises and larger corporations, but our hotel, with 15 in staff and 30 rooms, could never run more than one promotion every quarter. It creates a scavangerlike mentality, which is great for groupon but useless for the businesses. Its appealing to the most basic of their animal instincts cheap=awesome. It´s a cheap form of marketing that I highly dissapprove of. I could make a lot more money just telling every single client I've worked with to slash prices and simply undercut the competition, but this is no way of driving innovation forward. You want to create more business, innovate and sell at higher price. Perpetually pricing yourself lower than your competition will eventually leave you like one of the now many defunct, outdated and out-right shitty hotels populating the Cancun beaches. (I'm a hotel marketing consultant in Mexico and the Riviera Maya).

And now i'm done unleashing my frustration over shortsighted marketers.
I'm employed right now because of Steve Jobs incredible vision (iOS developer). I might not have work in this economy right now if it weren't for Steve.

RIP.
