show condolences'. -- used twitter to show condolences'. >> he had a tremendous charisma, and he believed things so passionately that you would believe them. >> steve jobs, adopted as a baby and later a college dropout, was always determined to follow its own path. more than 30 years ago with apple's co-founder steve wozniak he said out to bring personal computers into the home. >> almost any time we had discussions about how something should be done, he was almost always right. >> the drive for perfection made him a demanding colleague, but he persuaded consumers to pay top prices for gadgets like the iphone and the ipad that look and often worked better than their rivals. and when he was forced out of apple for more than a decade, it

changed another industry with picks are. he pioneered the animation unit. he tells students at stanford university that facing death brought things into focus. >> your time is limited, so do not waste living someone else's life. do not be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. to not let the noise of other people's opinions drowned out your inner voice. have the courage to follow your own heart. they somehow already know what you truly want. >> steve jobs, a visionary who used technology to change the way we live. >> for more, i spoke to david willis outside apple's headquarters in california. i asked him how the mood was there. >> a very somber.

software engineer who had a brief conversation with steve jobs about 10 years ago, and yet felt so compelled to come here when he heard the news of steve jobs' death. similarly to a young lad in their mid-20's who were working in a couple store in chicago and there were so enamored of the egos, they moved here to silicon valley and have set up there and startup business. those are the sort of people who will be coming here of the next few days. to visit the makeshift memorial. >> thank you for joining us. so, what does the future role for apple without steve jobs? for more on his influence in the void left now, i spoke to our correspondent in new york. >> without the visionary leader, where is the company go from here? >> i think the question is, was

steve jobs bigger than apple or is apple bigger than steve jobs? there will be a lot of speculation as to whether tim cook can lead this country or be a force to innovate. on the other hand, of course, he was a pioneer and a visionary. he really brought apple back to the brink of being irrelevant back in the late 1990's. he has been at apple for about 14 years. he does not have the same personality as steve jobs, but you could argue the products are such a part of our lives, they have permeated our culture some much they can continue that momentum. is not an easy question to answer in the short term. >> this is not just about out all. is there anybody else out there

takeover this iconic status apple was endured for so long. -- has achieved for so long. >> that is the top boy to fill. he founded the company in 1976. -- that is a tough void to fill. google, facebook, but these are more software companies. although google is getting into the harbor space with android and so forth. apple pushed the idea of technology being elegant and stylish and having emotional connection with the product. there are very few companies that have gone down that path, although apple has forced many to try to stay with the. >> where you think the next

technology relation will come from. >> i think it will come from more garages in places like silicon valley. new york is a popular place for new tech companies. elsewhere around the world, we are seeing startup companies and grass-roots organizations finding cool ideas and products. you do not necessarily have to millions of dollars to come up with that cool idea and potentially become the next steve jobs, although that is a tall order. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> moving now to the global economy and the stories making news around the world today. the european central bank has announced it will make unlimited loans to banks for a year to stave off a credit crunch. back here in the u.s., president obama made another pitch for his jobs bill in a televised news

conference. the benefit is scheduled to take up the $450 bill next week. mr. obama says the bill will guard against another downturn even if the situation in europe worsens. meanwhile, the practice is spreading against what demonstrators claim as corporate greed. the occupied wall street movement is about to enter its third week, and today, people rallied in washington, d.c. in the shadow of the u.s. capital. in more on what is driving this discontent, i spoke to dr. michael lewis, whose latest book "boomerang" takes people to the center of the crisis. you say, no one is running the world. you say it at moments of crisis, you realize no one is in charge.

is that what we are seeing? >> not exactly. i do not think the protest on wall street are the result of the crisis of three years ago. we had this profound active and fairness where wall street firms, directly responsible for the financial crisis -- at of unfairness were wall street firms, directly responsible for the financial crisis, had to be bailed out by the government to apparently save the economy. they themselves get saved, and what do they do? the turnaround and they frustrate any efforts to reform them. that coupled with the fact that a lot of people are suffering as a result of the financial crisis -- it has created capitalism with a room and for anyone except for the capitalists. >> are countries like greece capable of reform?

>> the sort of changes that would require grease it to become a decent the citizens of the euro -- greece to become decent citizens of the hero, it will take generations. you have a competitive private sector. those and other things you can impose on the outside the bank that gives to people's basic attitudes and beliefs. the pattern and behavior. i do not see how that changes quickly. >> so, if greece cannot change in germany is so different, can they coexist properly? >> in the united states, mississippi is much less productive than indiana, and there are these transfers to go on. but because there is total fiscal integration and the transfers become invisible to

the general population. short of that, i think the euro cannot survive. that is what will be required. total fiscal integration. the politicians are trying to make it happen against the will of the their electorates, and my guess is it falls apart, maybe not into 17 different pieces, but a few different pieces. >> thank you for joining us. as racine, the economy promises to be the key issue in the 2012 presidential campaign. but after last night there is one more candidate, who will not be joining the field. sarah palin kept the american public guessing for years -- four weeks, but in the end, she
