Now, have a look at  the first “Think Different” Apple commercial, narrated by Steve Jobs: "Here's to the Crazy Ones".

• There are 17 "great people" in the commercial. How many can you recognize?

 "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square  holes, the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things, they push the human race forward. 

While some may have seen them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

Finally, you can watch this presentation which puts an end to our particular tribute to Steve Jobs.
