Jef Raskin Dead

Quite a big story really (see Macworld UK). He was the "I'm not bitter" (much) person who originated the Macintosh project at Apple, only to have it wrested off him by Steve Jobs. It was probably Raskin's idea to name it after a variety of apple. Steve Jobs would never be so whimsical.

In a final ironic twist of fate, he died of pancreatic cancer, a year or so after Steve Jobs recovered from his own cancer of the pancreas.

If things are quiet round here, by the way, there's often plenty going on over at the roadrage blog or guitarGAS.
