The speech he did at Stanford University that seems to be on the news a lot tonight, is truly inspiring stuff.
I wouldn't be doing the job I'm doing now if it weren't for him and I'm immensely grateful for his endeavours. Regardless of any opinions of his work, business practices etc, it's someone's Dad, Husband, Uncle and so forth, thus a great shame.

I remember watching Steve's commencement speech earlier this year and just being wow'd. He was a real innovator and extremely good, if not the best, public speaker that I've seen.

I find it sad in a way that a man, who as great as he was, when you really boil it down was a shrewd business man whose greatness was selling consumer technology for incredible profit to amass his own personal fortune, is revered to such an extent, yet a Nobel prize winning medical researcher who died a week previous (also of pancreatic cancer) having spent his life working to cure such disease gets barely a passing mention in the news and I would bet 9/10 people wouldn't even know his name if you asked them.
Somewhere along the line I can't help but feel society has got it's priorities mixed up. I will be the first to admit the massive massive amount of coverage this particular passing is getting leaves a somewhat bad taste in my mouth. Still, RIP Steve (and Ralph), nobody deserves to go in such a manner.

 Does help that I'm a news junkie who reads various news sites and has rolling news in the background while working every day though! I agree with you that too many people and events get overlooked by the mainstream news. Particularly in a world of 24hr rolling news, some stations could really do with not repeating the same few stories over and over again. All that time to devote to so many other stories and they never do.
