A renowned Apple engineer who was instrumental in developing modern-day computing has died. Bill Atkinson, who was part of Apple's original
Macintosh development team, died of pancreatic cancer at 74, according
to a Facebook post made by his family on June 5.

Very sad. I still treasure the User Interface Guidelines written by him and his team in the 1980s, and wish Apple adhered to them today.
