Just one day after the announcement of the iPhone 4S, Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple Inc., passed away last Wednesday at the age of 56.
Jobs had been fighting pancreatic cancer since his diagnosis in 2004, and was forced to step down as CEO earlier this year as he felt he could "no longer meet my duties and expectations."
For those wishing to share their thoughts or condolences, Apple is encouraging people to email their story to rememberingsteve@apple.com
This really is quite a sad story. The night before I heard of his passing away, my parents and I had a great discussion about starting businesses, Steve Jobs, and Apple. Crazy
ReplyDeleteAdam Savage and Jamie Hyneman (of Mythbusters) have produced a Steve Jobs commemorative piece which is now on Discovery (not sure if it's a series or a single broadcast), if anyone is interested.
