The Sixth Commandment of Steve Jobs

Around 3 weeks ago, when Steve Jobs stepped down from CEO, Newsweek's The Daily Beast published a great inforgraphic on the management style of Steve Jobs.
The article spoke about the ten commandments of Steve Jobs and what was of great interest to me was number 6, simplify.
His devotion to simplicity is one of the reasons why Apple has brought to us the innovative interfaces of the iPod, iPhone, iPad and I could continue adding more of their innovations here. When working on the iPod, Jobs asked his design team to simplify to the point of removing all the buttons, including the on/off button (something that was done poorly later on with the iPod shuffle).
If it wasn't for simplicity, some of Apple's devices wouldn't have been so groundbreaking. Follow Steve's example and start simplifying, it will definitely pay off.
