Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died yesterday at age 56. In 2004, Jobs announced that he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas(one of the deadliest forms of cancer) and he resigned from Apple on August 24 2011. In his resignation letter he said, the day had finally come when he could no longer perform his duties.
Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday.
The Silicon Valley icon who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the reins to current chief executive Tim Cook.
Jobs, who fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer, 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 announcing Jobs' passing.
"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."
RIP sir.

rip sir,
Steve jobs died due to cancer and it is sad thing to know for this year. Let his sole RIP. He will always be remembered.
In my opinion, the only reason he is getting any press is because he help revive a company that almost went defunct. He’s a master showman but a douche as a person. His contribution to the world is way overrated. If you can live without Apple products, then his so called “innovation” is not that important.
