Obama had it beautifully right: much of the world learned about Jobs’ passing in a way that Jobs invented. As I sat in a meeting yesterday, iPhones and iPads and MacBooks began pinging with the news. We began clicking and connecting, Googling and tweeting. So we learned about Jobs’ death not just through Apple devices, […]
