Peggy Noonan On Steve Jobs And Why Big Companies Die - Forbes
Image via Wikipedia We don’t usually think of Peggy Noonan as a management thinker. But she has an insightful paragraph on management in her Wall Street Journal column on Friday:So we're sitting in the payphone trying to make a blue box call. And the operator comes back on the line. And we’re all scared and we'd try it again. … And she comes back on the line; we’re all scared so we put in money. And then a cop car pulls up. And Steve was shaking, you know, and he got the blue box back into my pocket.

CBS takes a look back at Apple's history with pictures
If you think you’ve been an Apple fan for a long time, you may want to compare your memories against CBS News’ gallery of Apple computers, which dates all the way back to the beginning… including that beauty in the photo above. Just check out the resolution on that baby. This gallery covers almost everything Apple’s put on the market since 1976. From smooth woodgrain cases and some downright fugly ergonomic designs, the masterpieces of our favorite Cupertino tech company are all on parade. It’s interesting not just to point and laugh and say, “This must have been released from the time when doctors did TV ads for cigarettes,” but it’s also an interesting arc showing the rise and fall and rise again of Apple’s innovations.
Remembering Steve Jobs
I would like to thank Steve's closest family and friends for sharing him with the world. I know very little about his personal life except for a few sweet insights I've gleaned here and there, but I suspect as someone who brought so much to the larger world and to his business, his immediate circle probably always wished they could have had more of him. Thank you for letting him pursue his passion and be the man and human being he was; that is the greatest gift of all. My condolences and my appreciation to you. And to Steve, thank you for your legacy of what it means to inspire and lead. Andy

Here’s how he describes the production of this profoundly moving work of art:Apple to Honor Steve Jobs With Private Event Oct. 19
