We have just found out moments ago via Bloomberg and the Associated Press that the man behind the iPhone revolution, Apple?s former CEO Steve Jobs, has passed away at the age of 56. Details are scarce at the moment but to say I?m in total shock would be an understatement. He had publicly been battling pancreatic cancer since 2004. Say what you will about his business practices, Steve was almost single-handedly responsible for pushing the entire mobile industry forward. RIP, Steve.
Update: Apple has released this statement on their website:
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the company said in a statement. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built an this spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
If anyone would like to share your condolences, feel free to send an e-mail to rememberingsteve@apple.com
Before I go, I would like to post a truly moving speech given by Steve Jobs at Standford University?s Commencement Address back in 2005. ?Love what you do.? (Steve enters the stage at 7:30)
