06 October 2011 (Steve Jobs)

Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to
sever fools from their freedom, has died.

As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor
Daley, “I’m not glad he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone.” Nobody deserves
to have to die – not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of
bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs’ malign
influence on people’s computing.

Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only
hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be
less effective.
