Remembering Steve Jobs on the second anniversary of his death

By Corey Herscu

Today marks the second anniversary of the death of the late great visionary (and Apple co-founder) Steve Jobs. 

Rather than going on (and on) trying to explain the impact he had on me and my career, which I am sure many of you can relate to, I'd rather give a moment to reflect and call all our readers to leave a comment briefly stating how he influenced/impacted your life. 

Let's pour one out for the big guy, the one who always made sure us 'rebels' felt important and justified. 

RIP Steve Jobs (2/24/55- 10/5/2011)

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

First Impressions on Apple iOS 7

What a long, strange trip it's been for iOS. The operating system, which powers 700 million iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads, started as a series modified web applications on the original iPhone and then steadily developed into a full-blown developer supported ecosystem that became the blueprint for distributing software on smartphones.

With iOS 7, which is available for free right now via a software update, Apple has gone from having the oldest mobile operating system to having the newest. Let's see what it is all about.

Reminder: Apple's next-generation iOS7 launches today for iPhone, iPod and iPad

In case you needed a reminder: today is the day that Apple's newest operation system, iOS7, becomes publicly available for mass consumption. No worries about plugging your device into iTunes and continually pressing refresh, the update will be pushed out OTA (over the air) by Apple directly and your device should notifiy you at some point today about the availability. If for some reason you're not a patient person, and can't wait to be notified automatically, you can always manually check for updates on your device in system settings. 

Good luck with your updates and, of course, make sure to backup your device prior to the change!
