    It's funny because this article is pro-apple/ipad, and the iPad is displaying pictures of competing Android devices.

    Steve was indeed a visionary and a man ahead of his time, even back in the 80s, and it's hard to find someone like him today... Can't believe it's almost a year that Steve left us to head to that great iCloud in the sky! :)

    And this is how the iPad prototype looked like, back in 1983, complete with keyboard and stylus!

    I'm not gonna lie. That looks insanely high-tech for the time. Heck, it looks like it could've been high-tech in the mid-90s too if the color weren't that "80s technology" color.

    Can anybody tell me what the word is at about 46:51? "The ability to put something back into that pool of human experience is extremely ___" What word is that?

    Hmm that might be it. I thought it was something that rhymed with "you". Anyone else have any idea or hear neat as well?

    Edit: Another person thinks that's what it is as well so you're probably right.

    Edit: Sig'd
