Apple's co-founder and ex-CEO Steve Jobs passed away last Wednesday of pancreatic cancer. This tragic event has caused a lot of mourning around the world, and mainly through the Apple community. Steve Jobs was one of his generation's greatest visionaries, and was (arguably) responsible for why we are so technologically far ahead as we are. Steve formed a team that would go on to revolutionize the way we used personal computers, the way we listen to music, the way we use a phone, and many other reasons caused by how Apple has changed things.

An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

Shouldn't it be was not is?
Tragic, but if this was remotely true, don't you think people would have been pushing this point while he was still alive?
And how about that iPhone debacle?
People should stop mentioning his name. Let him rest in peace.
yep he won the casual market away from Nintendo due to the cheap smartphone games. But other than that he hasn't done anything. In my opinion.
