The Apple brand has always divided opinion, particularly among IT professionals who either embrace and endorse, or dismiss and dislike the Mac platform.
Whichever camp you belong to (we're an Apple-based business) it's clear that with the announcement of Steve Jobs' death the world has lost a man of very singular vision and an exceptional technology innovator. Working with the machines that are part of his legacy every day - and enjoying the simplicity and integration of software and hardware with excellent design, it's right to pay respects.
With such strong creativity in its DNA, hopefully Apple will continue to innovate, invent and improve people's expectation and experience of technology for years to come.
