Steve Jobs - Different Perspective

Extremely rarely am I moved by the death of famous people. Steven Jobs was one of those, but not for the usual reasons.

I read this this article last month:

Famously hostile to leaks, Apple's paranoid culture's new poster boy: a Chinese engineer who has killed himself after losing an iPhone prototype.

Also the photos I typically see today about him, remind me of something I can't quite surface yet. I think it has to do with my uncles.
