Apple co-founder and Chairman Steve Jobs died today, Apple said. He was 56.

Jobs had been suffering from various health issues following the seven-year anniversary of his surgery for a rare form of pancreatic cancer in August 2004. Apple announced in January that he would be taking an indeterminate medical leave of absence, with Jobs then stepping down from his role as CEO in late August.

Wow, didn't see that one coming.


Any news on how he died?

Perhaps the madness can now slow down, or even better, grind to a complete halt.

But seriously, you should speak well of the dead, or not at all. A loss to the industry and many others.
So sad. Only 56.
I am a staunch Android over iPhone, PC over Mac fan, but even I recognise he was a brilliant man.
I sit here on my MacBook pro... Im truly gutted. Changed my life in many ways..

You should all check out this AMAZING speech by the guy... Very very inspiring
