Apple Mastermind Steve Jobs Dies At 56 Years Of Age
I’m currently shocked by this news and kind of speechless. It’s so crazy how this happens the day after the iPhone 4S announcement. This man was undeniably a mastermind, revolutionizing the way we access various forms of media today.. I would like to say R.I.P to Steve Jobs and send my condolences to his family and friends.
Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.
“We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today,” read a statement by Apple’s board of directors. “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.”
In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple’s chief executive.
“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know,” Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. “Unfortunately, that day has come.”
One of the great minds of this time. Jobs truly revolutionized consumer technology as we know it. He will be missed.
