Excellent, Jobs!

There are very few people whose passing evoked grief and sadness on a global scale. First, there was Princess Diana in 1997. More than a decade later, people the world over shed a tear and did the moonwalk to bid farewell to Michael Jackson.

This morning, many countries woke up to the news that Steve Jobs passed away after a long battle with cancer. Minutes later, tributes and messages started pouring in. The on-line world was a-buzz, mourning the loss of a true visionary. The apple icon suddenly had so many new permutations. The "think different" TVC was suddenly all over the net. People started leaving flowers and notes at Apple stores all over the world.

Such an outpouring for a man who taught us this very important lesson:

"Because the people who are crazy enough who think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
