Steve Jobs Sends His Condolences
Steve Jobs took the time to personally call the father of the 15 year old boy that was fatally stabbed over the weekend. The boy was walking with his friend when a group of other kids jumped them for the iPod.
“He told me that he understood my pain,” Rose said. “He told me if there is anything—anything—he could do, to not be afraid to call him. It really lightened me a bit. Some people talk to you like they’re something remote,” Rose said. “He was so familiar. After every word, he paused, as if each word he said came from his heart.
“We live in a world which is changing rapidly,” Rose said. “We have the technology that can give us the iPod and everything else, but it’s not all these things. We have to work on the minds and the hearts. We’re failing these kids. We’re not loving them like we’re supposed to.”
This really goes to show how much love ‘ol Steve has for the iPod. Its his baby. And deep down somewhere he feels a little responsible for the tragedy. He wanted the iPod to be the hottest item it could be, and it is. There’s always two sides to ever coin.
