Editor's Take:

Steve Jobs was less an engineer than an editor of technology, with an unmatched sense of what people would love before they knew it themselves. He co-founded Apple in a California garage in 1976, was forced out of his own company in 1985, then returned in 1997 to rescue it from near collapse. What followed was a remarkable run: the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, each one reshaping an industry. He was famously demanding and could be hard to work with, but his obsession with design and simplicity changed what everyday devices look and feel like. Many of the gadgets in our pockets today still follow the template he set.
