Very sad news indeed. I found out about 5 minutes ago. The world has lost a great mind and a great man.

Sad.

Bert Janch (founder of Pentangle, and a phenomenal guitarist) also died today. Also sad.

Sad day all around.

He stepped down from Apple 6 weeks ago, probably because of his health, and now he passed away.

He quit Apple because of health problems, which, I guess, finally caught up with him.

It is sad. And the world has lost an incredible individual. People have compared him to Leonardo Davinci and I can understand why.

Guy invents the personal computer - and starts apple. Company goes public and kicks him out. He then goes to Hollywood (figuratively speaking) and starts Dreamworks. Gives the world some of the best animated movies ever seen.

Then comes back to a near bankrupt Apple many years later. He then proceeds to reinvent it, making it one of the two most valuable companies in the world.

What an amazing man. I mourn his loss.

Dreamworks is Spielberg's baby.
