Computer engineer and Apple veteran William "Bill" Atkinson has died of pancreatic cancer at age 74. Atkinson created the QuickDraw graphics engine, which made the Macintosh interface possible and, says @Ars Technica's @npub1f3d8...yk3x, "transformed abstract computer science into intuitive visual experiences that millions would use daily." "I say this with no hyperbole: Bill Atkinson may well have been the best computer programmer who ever lived," wrote veteran Apple analyst @npub1e0x2...xqda on his Daring Fireball blog. "Without question, he's on the short list. What a man, what a mind, what gifts to the world he left us." Here's Edwards' story; find Gruber's full tribute at the second link.
