This is a very sad day.
Coming to work this morning, I find news of the death of my engineering icon. I never had the chance to work with Steve Jobs but I certainly enjoyed using all his toys. Engineering is about simplifying life for people, either for fun or used for a deeper purpose. Technology development is not successful unless it comes to use. Apple took this a step further, creating a technological religion, having people loving their products. Few companies have products with that glow. It is often said that no person is irreplaceable. Steve Jobs certainly is an exception to that rule.

Some of the magic is gone. Now Apple is just a tech company again.

Quantlab doesn't run on iPad yet. Now I'm not sure it ever will...
