Memories: Founding member of the Monterey Maniacs, long fingernails that performed magic with hair; an unmistakable laugh that sounded often due to a great sense of humor; the best clam chowder ever; good neighbor and even better friend. we are saddened by her passing, but rejoice in the fact she no longer suffers and is now in the arms of her Father. Bye, Di, we will see you on the other side! We love you

Very sad day. I was reading some of his sphecees the other day some of them goes back to eighties. A true visionary who envisioned Slate form factor device even before the rest of the industry thought of Tablet PC, and envisioned the cloud 20 years before it was technically feasible.More importantly he challenged some of my thinking as an application developer. He died months after building the best technology company with a culture of continuous innovation. It will be interesting to see how the company re-invent itself under Tim Cook.(bluetoothkiwi has made 4 comments)
