Most of us here at Engine Digital grew up on Jobs’ era Apple computers, a claim that doesn’t seem very special right now, but will become increasingly scarce as time moves further away from this date. Despite his death, Steve Jobs is still very much seen as a person, but as the years add up he will eventually attain the mythical status he is no doubt headed for because Apple Computer will probably be around forever. So may the man RIP, but Steve Jobs the legend? Well, that part of his life has only just begun. (via Five Great Tributes That RIP Steve Jobs | Engine Digital Inc. / Blog)

Ironically, Facebook itself has been used as one of the main vehicles to voice the hilarity and displeasure at the changes to our “homes on the web.” Whatever the case, like the “users” we are, we’ll all fall in line and stop complaining and start using, quickly forgetting what once was and recognizing the new as the same. Mark knows this, that’s probably one of the reasons for Timeline, so we can see how we’ve evolved digitally — visually and socially.

Engine Digital continues to thrive however, adding new staff, new clients, along with some pretty amazing projects. Take a look at our current career ops here.
