    That is exactly what it boils down to... I have read in the past on this site, so many silly comments above Steve Job but you know what? He inspired and help built all these up. If it were not for Steve, there would not be Dev-Team, iPhoneHacks, Cydia, **** and all the other Jailbreak communities. Let us face it, Steve changed the way we think and do things forever. He is a living legend and one of the greatest thinkers of our time. He has placed himself in the history books forever as one of the best in the field of technology in his time.Best wishes to you Steve, in all your future endeavours. Thank you for all these... We all enjoy your good work ;-)
