RIP: Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, the brilliant, mercurial co-founder of Apple Inc. who introduced simple, elegantly designed computers for people who are more interested in what technology could do rather than how it was done, died Oct. 5 at age 56.

In a brief statement, Apple announced the death but did not say where he died. He suffered from a rare form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant in 2009, and he stepped down as Apple’s chief executive officer on Aug. 24, 2011.
Read the rest here.

Sad though not terribly surprising.  One could see the end was near when he stepped down a couple months ago and of course knowing that he had pancreatic cancer.
