Apple has just released an official statement that former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs is dead. The statement says:

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

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.

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.

Jobs died today after years of battling pancreatic cancer. His health made him resign as CEO in August putting Tim Cook in the position. He was aged 56.

    Horribly tragic. He was a good man whose contributions to the field of computer sciences and technology were legendary. He was a damn sight better then Bill Gates, and he will be missed.

    The world of technology is not completed without people like STEVE JOBS,BILL GATES.PAUL ALLEN,LARRY (oracle c.e.o), name them. Steve you have been my mentor from childhood that's why i go in research about JAVA PROGRAMMING. You taught me something in the school of knowledge that "THE FUTURE DOES NOT BELONG TO WHO WAIT. You will be greatly missed in the world of technology,till memory fades, your active work still continues. STEVE JOBS TILL WE MEET AGAIN "REST IN PEACE" YOU ARE A RARE GEM IN THE KINGDOM OF HUMANITY.
