Steve Jobs has died.

He was a genius at three things: design, sales, and understanding the zeitgeist (and perhaps a fourth: synergizing the three in people's minds).

He was also a ruthless capitalist whose corporation never felt it relinquished ownership to its customers, despite the contracts into which it entered.

And he died of pancreatic cancer, which is a nasty disease. It cost me my father and a friend, and now it's taken this world-changer.

If you are an Apple fan -- or not -- I urge you to donate what you can to The Lustgarten Foundation, which does excellent work in research to defeat and prevent pancreatic cancer. Doing that will be a more fitting tribute than buying an iAnything, first day or otherwise.
