TAMPA – Matthew Stafford laughed. He slapped hands with teammates. He drank a lot of fluids. Most importantly, on a Florida afternoon as stifling as the back room of a bakery, he walked off the field the way he needs to walk off – upright, with a victory under his arm, looking forward to next week.

They say there are nine planets in the solar system. But that is not true. There is a 10th.
The Apple Store.
On this planet, no one has a job or anyplace to go. They simply drift all day in an endless swirl of new products, most of them white. You need no food, no water. You can stay there for years with your mouth hanging open.
Some have gone and never returned, forgetting they have a family, a house or other clothes to wear. They spend the rest of their lives lifting a MacBook Air and yelling, “Feel how light this is!”

The Wall Street Journal headline read: “Jobs’ Legacy: Changing How We Live.”
Well. Yes and no.
No doubt Steve Jobs, who announced his resignation this past week, had an impact on the world. The man who shaped Apple into the most influential company of our time also changed global technology forever.
Go anywhere on the planet. See a kid with an iPod. A businessman with an iPad. Teenagers with iPhones. A row of Apple computers in a classroom. All of it began somewhere in Jobs’ amazing mind.
