Gruber at his best. I get the feeling that he's had large pieces of this particular post in the works for quite some time.

I have to agree. It's been awhile since I've read something like this from him. Well-chosen words throughout the whole post.

Jobs’s greatest creation isn’t any Apple product. It is Apple itself.

True.

The company is a fractal design. Simplicity, elegance, beauty, cleverness, humility.

Good text, but maybe not well-chosen words throughout the whole post. Humility is a little too much.

One of the first tweets I read in the minutes after this news broke was "@gruber Well? Help us process this, John." I'm glad he didn't waste any time.

The thing to keep in mind is this: Apple tomorrow, a week from now, and next month is the exact same Apple from yesterday, a week ago, and last month.

Don't know about that. Apple, like all hi-tech companies, is constantly changing, adapting, finding new ways, dealing with change, innovation, etc.

I thought the same thing - that'd be called denial.

Really? No offense intended to Gruber but I really don't see what his blog post says that dozens, if not hundreds of people haven't already said. Including in the comments on HN.
