OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.
The New York Times has published Mona Simpson's eulogy for her brother, Steve Jobs.
None of us knows for certain how long we’ll be here. On Steve’s better days, even in the last year, he embarked upon projects and elicited promises from his friends at Apple to finish them. Some boat builders in the Netherlands have a gorgeous stainless steel hull ready to be covered with the finishing wood. His three daughters remain unmarried, his two youngest still girls, and he’d wanted to walk them down the aisle as he’d walked me the day of my wedding.
We all — in the end — die in medias res. In the middle of a story. Of many stories.
Heart rending and hopeful, all of it.

We miss you Steve.
This is the saddest thing to read...especially after just finishing the book this morning. Which the book is such an excellent read, I cannot recommend it enough.
I'm only 85 pages in but can't put it down... I'm fascinated!
What book? Mind telling the title and author?
Steve jobs by Walter issacson.
Oh to know what he was seeing to make him say that...
It was a beautiful eulogy that made me cry. He was a great man. She was honest. She gave us a deeper look inside than I could have ever hoped for. I wish that I could thank her. RIP STEVE!
It must be noted here that the title of this article "Oh Wow, oh wow, oh wow" were said to be the last words of Steve Jobs according to his biological sister.
With that said, I would like my final words to me "Come closer!!! The 100 Million Dollars is in the ..... bleeaaaaaa.............. "
I know this is supposedly the last words Mr. Jobs said, but how stupid to title the article with the words. Rene, keeping it classy.
That was my thought after reading the eulogy. Bad taste indeed.
bla bla bla. yawn
Ur as stupid as rene
baaa baaa
baaa baaa
I'm taking a crap. Oh wow oh wow oh wow.
I'm taking a crap. Oh wow oh wow oh wow.
BIG DEAL, he died...
We will miss you Steven Jobs. You have changed the world - we all hope we change the world in our own way.... you succeeded.
this is retarded....
People bitch & complain , no matter what.
I know for a fact Rene wouldnt mean this in any shape , way or form as disrespect to Steve, more like the opposite. Give him a break.
That's nice. It's still tasteless and stupid to boot.
He made the white iPhone specifically to use in heaven, because it matches his new white turtle neck
Really? I didn't know that! Wait, how do you know anyway?
He must have realized he was connected to a Windows powered health monitor.
Thanks , I have recently been searching for information about this subject for a while and yours is the best I have found out so far. However, what about the bottom line? Are you positive about the source?|What i don't understood is in fact how you are no longer really a lot more well-preferred than you might be right now. You're very intelligent.
