Snarky faux-newspaper The Onion manages to write a joke article about the death of Steve Jobs that humorously honors the man:

Last American Who Knew What The Fuck He Was Doing Dies

Truth in humour there.

This is what capitalism is supposed to be like. Guy (causes his company to...) makes cool gadgets we haven't had before, and gets rich doing so. So much better than shuffling numbers around so that the hnumbers build up nnext to your own name.

But yet ... brains, drive, connections, and heaps of money ... and even he still couldn't beat cancer. Fuck cancer.

Cool

A quip that didn't take long to achieve its present form -- about last Friday:

"Years ago, we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash. Right now we got no Jobs, no Hope, and no Cash."
