More From Steve Jobs

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. it takes a lot of hard work to make something simple, to truly understand the underlying challenges and come up with elegant solutions. [...] it's not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. it involves digging through the depth of complexity. to be truly simple, you have to go really deep. [...] you have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential.
