Legendary Icon Steve Jobs passed away on Oct 5 2011

The co-founder of Apple, and its long-time CEO, Steve Jobs, died yesterday, at the age of 56. According to Macworld Magazine, in a statement released from Job’s family, he “died peacefully surrounded by his family.”And Apple’s board of directors wrote in part in a statement: “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.

Yes, indeed. After co-founding Apple in 1976, Steve resigned and then later returned to become the company’s interim CEO and chairman in 1997. From that time he oversaw and contributed to many of the greatest innovations in the world of computer technology – from the Apple II in 1977, the original iMac in 1998, the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, and the iPad in 2010.

Under his leadership, the famous Macintosh computer of 1984 (4,000 units sold in the first year) opened desktop computing to the mainstream public. At his helm, Jobs helped make Apple a culture, with a nerdish, cool, and aesthetic appeal.
