When I saw the picture on the front page of the Times this morning, I assumed that it was a picture of protests somewhere in Europe, like many recent pictures have been. Upon reading the lead of the accompanying article though, I learned that this was a protest in New York City. It seems to me that protests are much more common in European countries, so to see such a strong protest in the US, people must be extremely angry and fed up, more so than usual.
But more importantly today, the front page featured an article on Steve Jobs, who died yesterday at the age of 56. Jobs was such an influential and innovative technological creator, that it should be extremely interesting to see what becomes of Apple in the near future. Although I was aware that Jobs had cancer, I was surprised to learn of his death yesterday, less than two months after he had resigned his position from Apple. I was unaware that he has such a short time left to live.
Steve Jobs' obituary provided a very in-depth summary of his life and accomplishments, much of which I had read before. However, the writer included some very powerful quotes by Jobs, which I thought were a nice touch to this piece.
