Recently a column in La Vanguardia's culture supplement made me aware of his Commencement address at Stanford University in 2005, to be read here, or to be seen on youtube here.
Here is a collection of obituaries from today's media:
A quite comprehensive approach you can find in The Guardian, here, with these headlines:
Computing 'visionary', 56, had resigned as chief executive in August after suffering from pancreatic cancerThe New York Times coverage, here. The Wall Street Journal's, here. The Washington Post's, here, does not open with a recent picture of the sick man, but one of the earlier days.
Obituary: Apple chairman, inventor and entrepreneur
Tributes: the world remembers a visionary
The life and career of Apple's driving force
Dan Gillmor: a man of contradiction and genius
Apple insiders remember life working for Jobs
From parents' garage to world power
In pictures: Jobs and Apple - the highlights
Steve Jobs quotes: the man in his own words
The FT's John Gapper in his blog, their Tech Hub lists quite a lot of influential people and their condolences via Twitter, etc. here. Their editorial comment, here, is only for registered users.
The Economist's obituary is here. And another piece here.
Wired.com is all black today, here.
Engadget.com, the world's most important blog on gadgets - and often critical with the premium prices of Apple products - stresses Steve Job's own words, here.
These will be sufficient if one wants to get an idea of the man and his vision.
(And I need to get some work done...)
