http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/05/us-apple-jobs-idUSTRE79472K20111005Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer and other health issues.
Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday.
The Silicon Valley icon who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the reins to current chief executive Tim Cook.
Jobs, who fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer, was deemed the heart and soul of a company that rivals Exxon Mobil as the most valuable in America.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I lost a friend to lung cancer earlier this year.Bassem wroteSeriously, fuck cancer.
Steve was and always will be the real reason Apple is still alive. I haven't felt this bad since he resigned from CEO.

He could have told us... "highly public battle against cancer" ... yeah right! Nobody saw this coming.
He is a role model, a man people could identify with as a fellow human being among the geeks, nerds freaks and other weirdos who dominate the world of IT.
