Ousted from his own company for a spell, he bought a computer graphics spinoff that became Pixar Animation Studios making its name in 1995 with 'Toy Story.' The computers and devices he went back to promote with finicky attention to detail, have turned Apple it into the most valuable technology company in the world.

The New York Times pays homage to a technology CEO who without being a programmer or a designer is noted in 313 patents. It carries an amazing history of the Apple developed products. It also documents a chronology  of Jobs life. The redoubtable Markov ( video) and Lohr write his obituary; the New York Times offers a chronology of pictures,  and invites reader's remembrances. 

In as much as media technology can harness up the black horses, strew straw in the streets for respect,  and heap up flowers for remembrance, the New York Times has done it all. The one strange exception  is a lack of  music. You would think it could be embedded somewhere in the media somehow.
