Farewell, Steve.

Some weeks ago I wrote a blog post about Apple without Steve Jobs. I considered that he would soon be able to announce new Apple products. I feel bad I didn't see the real reason for his impediment as president of the corporation. He died on October 5, in consequence of a rare pancreatic cancer.
If I had checked it, I would've given a concise statement. The thing is that he acknowledged he was cured from cancer on his Stanford speech to students, in 2005.
It seems like he got the symptoms back in 2009 and endured in a liver transplant the same year. It was supposed to stop the spread of the disease and add more years to his life.
This silent cancer is only known when it's on its advanced stages. He could have lived more, but chances of survival are between 6 and 10%.
I know I enjoyed to see every new product he would bring up. Every professional has something to learn with him.

Facebook has never been much of my thing because I'd rather read the world wide news on Twitter. It sounds reasonable to me. Since people I know are stored on FB I don't have the need to check them all of the time.
Mark Zuckerberg proposes that people stay connected 24/7 on the new Facebook profile. He is gonna provide all you can think of on Facebook. Uhh, Internet within the Internet. I don't think it's something for me. I'm not engaged to Facebook in a way that makes me stay connected to it all day. Google is almost the same: it's everywhere on the Internet - everything seems to be floating around the giant web company.
Regarding Google it's a bit difficult to stay away as I have a gmail account. Nothing much against it - I don't have a Facebook email, though. Nonetheless, both companies, through interaction, provide charitable support, jobs, revenue and web services.
The new Facebook's profile is gonna revolutionize the market as we know it. It is gonna give marketers the chance to find the exact profile they are looking for. If you are really a Facebook user, prepare to be induced in whatever people are watching, listing, wanting. Facebook knows you want it too.
