Goodbye World!

I am glad to have seen him in person even if in passing - he was a great inspiration to a C of developers.

#include <stdio.h> 

int main()
{
   /** Author: Dennis Ritchie */ 
   /** You are expected to understand this */
   printf("Goodbye World\n");
   return 0;
}
RIP Dennis Ritchie!

Rest In Peace Steve Jobs!

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. 
Steve Jobs


It's a sad day for American innovation and the Tech World - an icon has passed away - an icon who was a phoenix in the Tech world, who rose out of the ashes to become more powerful than what he was before.

Much as I am not an iFan, I admire the creative genius and charisma that is Steve Jobs. It is rare to see charisma and genius combined into one package, and Steve Jobs was one of them. He was the man with the Midas touch over the last couple of decades with both Pixar and Apple - creating products and films that were blockbusters every single time.

We salute you, Steve!
