Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs passes away...

Per Fox News's website, just came across this. Really sad how quickly it seemed that his health declined.

I don't care for Apple's computers, but that man was a genius and an innovator. The world lost a visionary. It is a lesser place now.

Since he had pancreatic cancer, he lived a lot longer than more than 96% of the people who get it. If you remember Gene Upshaw three years ago, he was diagnosed 3 days before he passed away.

 

Before the unveiling yesterday people were wondering if he would be part of the presentation in some way. But, when he took leave of absences in the past, he said he would only step down when he realized he will not be able to return, he retired about 6 weeks ago.

Big loss. He was a modern day Edison. Their computers are second to none. RIP SJ.

He was pioneer and American icon.

Could a mod please correct this thread title? That apostrophe is bugging the hell out of me. Thanks.

 

Sorry SF, it's the grammarian in me.

Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of "treatable" pancreatic cancer in 2004, thus the longevity with the diagnosis. In a world where there aren't very many corporate leaders to respect, he was the exception. Prayers to his family and friends tonight.

The business world lost a great mind today. At least he got to see Apple at the top before he passed.
