Goodbye Steve

One of the co-founders of Pixar died today. Eventough, you may know him because of his other achievments: the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. 

Those who try to criticize him, affirm that, opposite to Bill Gates, he doesn't appear to support any charity. I don't know if this is true, but I can tell never the cappacity of a genius has been measured because of the amount of money he or she gives away, but by the acomplishments achieved.

Steve Jobs died today, and we all know a genius has gone. Among other things, he changed the way we watch animated movies, personal computers, how we listen to music and how we percieve and use a cellphone. He took aesthetics and function to the next level, where we witnessed, as Mies van der Rohe one said: Less is more.

Rest in peace. We certainly will miss all those gadgets we'll never see, but we know you see them coming.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.-Steve Jobs

In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.-Steve Jobs
