iRespect Steve Jobs.

It's been a week of grief with the passing of Steve Jobs. And yes, it's true, many have died for noble causes without a fraction of the recognition Steve has got. But I guess that's what it makes it more noble for them, to affect humanity and die without recognition for me is the highest form of nobility. So this brief article, without regret, joins millions of others to deny Mr. Jobs his already endangered nobility.

First of all, thank you Steve. You didn't just invent things, you created our needs. You earned a fortune for yourself, yes,

but your 7 billion dollars net worth as wikipedia tells me today is wretched by the standards of time. The media tell us that you were not a charitable person, that you scrapped corporate social responsibility schemes at Apple after your second coming. But we know that you lived your private and professional life in secrecy, I can bet £50 that you were a secret giver. All we see are iPods, iPad, iPhones and Macs, and the bills we pay for them. We don't see the millions of people you have enriched, the small app developers in India whose families live on applications they sell through the iPhone. You gave their intelligence a lifeline.

We thought we knew you, but now we think we didn't. Your affinity with Buddhism, the deep meditations in the centre of your life. Your private moments and private battle with cancer, your insight into the future. We didn't know all of these. But the best you could do was inspire us, be assured that you have.

Rest in peace Steve!
