Finally the inevitable has happened and the "big boss of kool products" is no more.. Am also terribly upset like the rest of the world when i saw the news accidentally. It's tough to imagine Apple continuing the same legacy that it had under Steve as CEO..But they need if Apple need to remain #1 .

Am also a huge fan of apple products and still remember how happy i was when me and my wife bought iphone's for both of us.He made the whole world fit in your pocket. This is not possible for anyone else than steve himself. The apple share rose from 10 to 400 usd under his leadership and now has more revenues than the US Govt.

I was a huge fan of Bill Gates and Microsoft as i can understand the complexity of developing a kool product or a s/w is very tough as they say "Any thing that is easy to use is tough to build", windows and all MS products are easy to use for users and end users so always appreciated Bill Gates for that, but after using iphone and ipad and mac , i could understand how robust are things integrated in Apple products.

May be it will take centuries for some one like steve to re-born, and we can send tributes to [email protected]

I think he already might have started working on his new product "iHeaven" to show it to God. Love you and miss you steve, this world has lost a visionary.

Little busy right now developing a cricket application using aspx (VS 2008) and sql server (MSSQLSERVER 2008), which is coming up nicely and finding it very very interesting, the data is especially interesting for me as i now know only half the players of the world cup 2011 teams of other countries in contrast to what i was at my teen age where i used to know the biography of each and every player of the other world teams.

Now these new players are at my finger tips...Lot of content need to be put up and spending lot of time on that right now... Once it comes to a real good shape . i want to dedicate this software to my DAD who is a true true real big fan of the game CRICKET, he has high passion for the game, UK and their English.

He believes American English is all trash like any other older generation people and he is a master of english grammar patronised by UK, I thought of doing some thing my father always cherishes and started working on this application which is of course passionate for me too, Being an Indian we always like Cricket despite India having a white wash in UK.

Since i want this to be dedicated to my dear loving father, am naming this application as Crick4Daddy which may later transform into Crick4Daddy.com

In this regard am paying tribute to one of the best captains of Indian Cricket who passed away today...Mr Mansoor Ali khan Pataudi..May his soul rest in peace.

Apple has more cash than the federal government

As the BBC has reported, the software company Apple has more cash on hand than the United States federal government, according to the company's financial records.

Apple's quarterly financial report shows that the company responsible for the iPad, iPod and the iPhone now has $76.4 billion in reserve cash, while the Treasury Department is sitting on just $73.7 billion.

The feds could probably learn a thing or two from Apple's success. Congress remains embroiled in a debate over spending and whether the federal government, which currently owes trillions in debt, should be allowed to borrow even more. International credit rating agencies have threatened to downgrade the national debt for the first time in the nation's history if Washington doesn't come up with a solution to lift the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling while implementing a concrete plan to get the nation's financial house in order.

Meanwhile, Apple's financial report shows that the company's profits, even through the last recession, are booming
