an apple that changed the world

It was as if a joke was being played when news of Steve Jobs' passing on came out right after the launch of iPhone 4S.

I'm not a fanboi of Apple, I don't wear turtleneck, the only Apple product I have is probably the free QuickTime player. The closest link I have with Apple is that I got invited to join as a design engineer. In fact I kind of have negative view on people who like to stay glued to the iPhone or iPad screen even in front of the MRT station's escalator. But that does not dispute the fact that Steve Jobs have changed the way people live. From the way people are glued to the screen (again), the way people queue up just to be the first to let Apple earn their money, the way people worship Steve, the way authorized retailers (are there unauthorized ones?) are opening up every few steps in town, the way down the supply chain some workers are committing suicide in a factory in China manufacturing Apple products, etc etc. I am not attributing all these to him, just like no one would dispute the inventor of gunpowder was a great mind. But this phenomena could have been different.

Someone said 3 apples changed the world: one from Adam, one from Newtown, and one from Steve Jobs.
