[AusNOG] Steve Jobs has passed away

[Christopher Pollock]

I'm actually surprised how much I was affected by this.  The thing that's
always stuck with me about Steve Jobs was the ideas that were so simple that
made so much sense, that no-one else thought of.

Like Magsafe for example.  How many of us here have destroyed laptop
motherboards or power supplies from leaning on the power cable that hung out
and pressed in deep to the socket?  All because of re-using an existing
power connector instead of designing their own.  Saved a few dollars in
build and cost unknown amounts in hardware support.  His simple lessons of
looking at real world use cases and designing for/around them have changed
the way I work and design.
