Claim: Jobs left 'four years worth' of product plans behind

An unattributed claim in the British tabloid The Daily Mail says that Steve Jobs, the co-founder and chairman of the company, left behind as much as four years' worth of product plans in the pipeline before his death on Wednesday.

Agree.

This strikes me as a non-news piece. What major company out there doesn't have at least 3 years in the product development pipeline at any given moment?

Given the time that it takes to bring a new product to the market, I would be shocked if they weren't already working on iPad 4 and the iPhone 5/5s. Having 4 years of "plans" should be a shock to no one.

We had to limit its functions in order to preclude the possibility of it gaining sentience and unleashing a new generation of robotic killing machines bent on mankind's destruction. ;)
