Steve Jobs Has Passed Away

This is the official statement from Apple:

“October 5, 2011

Statement by Apple’s Board of Directors

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.”

This is very sad news. I was not really an Apple customer, but I admired their hardware, and have always wanted a MacBook Pro. Steve was definitely a visionary that greatly impacted the computer world, and has a hugely prominent place in computer history. May he rest in peace.
