Steve Jobs, who transformed the worlds of personal computing, music and mobile phones, died at the age of 56 after years of long battle with pancreatic cancer.
One of the world’s great entrepreneurs, the co-founder of Apple Inc, was surrounded by his wife and immediate family when he died in Palo Alto, California.
From in.finance.yahoo.com:
The Silicon Valley icon who gave the world the iPod, iPhone and iPad had stepped down as chief executive of the world’s largest technology company in August, handing the reins to long-time lieutenant Tim Cook.
He was deemed the heart and soul of a company that rivals Exxon Mobil as the most valuable in America.
“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,” Apple said in a statement.
“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,” Apple added.
