On October 4th Apple staged a press conference to launch its latest iPhone and other gadgets. Tim Cook, the computing giant's new chief executive, and his colleagues did a perfectly competent job of presenting its latest wares. But it was inevitable that comparisons would be drawn between Mr Cook's understated approach on stage and that of Steve Jobs, his predecessor, whose sense of showmanship had turned so many Apple product launches into quasi-religious experiences. The news the following day that Mr Jobs had finally died following a long battle with cancer turned the feeling of disappointment into one of deep sadness. Many technologists have been hailed as visionaries. If anyone deserves that title it was Mr Jobs. Few corporate leaders in modern times have been as dominant--or, at times, as dictatorial--as Mr Jobs. His success was the result of his unusual combination of technical smarts, strategic vision, flair for design and sheer force of character. But it was also because in an industry dominated by engineers and marketing people who often seem to come from different planets, he had a different and much broader perspective. Mr Jobs had an unusual knack for looking at technology from the outside, as a user, not just from the inside, as an engineer--something he attributed to the experiences of his wayward youth.
