Steve Jobs passed away this week at the age of 56. Whether you loved him, hated him, or fell somewhere in between you must admit Jobs impacted the technology world greatly. Even if you are anti-Apple, competition – good, strong competition – is healthy for an industry. It forces companies to stay on their toes and constantly innovate. Let’s hope Apple continues to do that.
