I guess the Reality Distortion Field is still working, or maybe it's overlapped with the Perception Distortion Field and some of the potential nominees are getting a double dose?

RIP: Steve Jobs!

The day after the iPhone 4S was revealed, of which I shall be pre-ordering Friday: my first smart phone.

Very sad, but it was kind of obvious that he wasn't long for this world with the problems that he had. It was only his money that kept him alive this long, a regular Joe wouldn't have the money to pay for the treatments that he received. I definitely didn't agree with some of the decisions that he made, from a vantage point of imperfect information, but he definitely was a founder of the home computer industry and later revolutionized same industry.

Very sad.
