Death Of Steve Jobs....

Its very bad to say but Steve Jobs has died...

Steve Jobs, co-founder of computer and software giant Apple Computers, Inc., and until recently its CEO, has died at the age of 56, according to reports from Apple.

After a troubling diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 2003 followed by a liver transplant in 2009, reports surfaced earlier this year that Jobs was suffering from a recurrence of his cancer. This time out, Jobs was hit with a much rarer form of pancreatic cancer known as islet cell carcinoma, difficult to cure if in late phases.

After Apple went public in 1980, Jobs became and maintained status as one of the technology sector’s leading celebrities, taking the stage year after year and dazzling consumers with Apple’s vast array of computing and entertainment-related products and services, including iPods, iPads, Macs and sites such as iTunes.

Apple has posted this statement on its website:

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. 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, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
