Steve Jobs has passed away

This is being confirmed across the boards and on Apple.com. It's official folks. The cancer got him.

Holy Cow. I knew about his cancer, but I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. He was truly one of the visionaries of the twentieth and twenty-first century.

He was a giant in the technology world. Turned Apple into the one to beat. His genius will be missed. My condolences go out to his family and those who knew him.

Without him it's likely none of us would be looking at this board at all. He truly changed the world.

I use Apple products on a daily bases. They have become so ingrained in my everyday life I don't know what I'd do without them. That is in part because of how versatile and all the gadgets he pushed for them to make.

It really wasn't that quick....he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 8 years ago. The 1 year survival rate on that is 20%. The 5 year survival rate is 4%. He lived 8. Pretty amazing really

I figured once he resigned as Apple's CEO that his health might have gotten worse, but I figured he'd still be around for a few more years continuing the fight as he had been doing.

This is so sad...
 He was an amazing individual. I remember them teaching us about him back in school Many Many years ago. We had no idea how much life would change...
