How to spot a genius

I am probably going to be one of millions blogging about Steve Jobs today.

I learned of his death while I was at work, and even then it was just a newswire flash, and purportedly one that was sent out just as a whiff of his departure was known. There were no other sources corroborating the fact, so a part of me didn't want to believe it.

But within seconds Apple came out with its own confirmation, and my heart sank to my feet. It was true. Steve Jobs had passed away.

I've never claimed to be an Apple aficionado but surprisingly,  I have all the essentials. As I write this I am using a Macbook. I can never leave the house without my iPod touch. My favorite software in the world is iTunes.

Now that's the kind of genius Steve Jobs was. He crept into my life without me noticing it, and stayed. May he rest in peace.
