“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”
Steve Jobs

Quote of the Day: Steve Jobs
“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

Remembering Steve Jobs….
There will be a lot of tributes to the genius who was Steve Jobs over the next few days. And they will be most deserved.
He made Apple Computers- and the PC industry what it is today. Then he remade it.
We can thank him for PC’s, iPods, iPads and so much more.
Here is a great video, that I first saw at MotherJones.com, of him introducing the Mac for the first time back in 1984.
This is where it all began….

Apple now has more cash than the U.S. government – CNN.com
Good for Apple-one of my favorite companies that makes many of my favorite products.
Bad for the U.S Government. And kind of embarrassing….
From CNN:
Maybe the cash-strapped U.S. government should start selling iPads.
According to the latest statement from the U.S. Treasury, the government had an operating cash balance Wednesday of $73.8 billion. That’s still a lot of money, but it’s less than what Steve Jobs has lying around.
Tech juggernaut Apple had a whopping $76.2 billion in cash and marketable securities at the end of June, according to its last earnings report. Unlike the U.S. government, which is scrambling to avoid defaulting on its debt, Apple takes in more money than it spends.
This symbolic feat — the world’s most highly valued tech company surpassing the fiscal strength of the world’s most powerful nation — is just the latest pinnacle for Apple, which has been on an unprecedented roll.
U.S. debt: How did we get here?
Its Macs, iPhones and iPads remain hot sellers, its stock has surged past $400 a share and Apple just became the world’s largest smartphone vendor by volume.
There’s been a lot of speculation about what Apple might buy with its piles of cash — Facebook and Sony being two of the more high-profile examples — but the company doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to make a move.
“We don’t let the cash burn a hole in the pocket or make stupid acquisitions,” CEO Jobs said last fall. “We’d like to continue to keep our powder dry because we think there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.”
Offering Uncle Sam a short-term loan is probably not one of them.
