Yes this belong in this section of the forums. If it was not for Steve Jobs Pixar would not be here today.

Add to the fact that he died while he was still on the Disney Board of Directors and he had been holding the most Dsiney stock, yes, I'd say it does belong here.

It will be intresting to see what happens with all of that, and how Pixar will move on without Steve protecting their intrests.

Disney Corporate news release:

ROBERT A. IGER, PRESIDENT AND CEO, THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY ON STEVE JOBS' PASSING

Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an "original," with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time.

RIP Steve Jobs. It is such a terrible shame that you had to go so young.

You could think of it this way. That thread is for the man who gave us Apple and this one for the man who gave us Pixar and sat on the Disney board. :D
