Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs passed away. 4

It was only a 42 days ago when Steve Jobs retired as CEO of Apple due to health concerns. Today Apple announced that he passed away at the age of 56. He was probably the most brilliant CEO of this generation as he led Apple from near bankrupt company to the largest company in the United States. Apple made the following statement:

“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.”

I know many of our readers are not fans of Apple in general, but nobody can argue what Jobs did for Apple. After Jobs retired, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said, “Steve Jobs is the most successful CEO in the U.S. of the last 25 years. He uniquely combined an artists touch and an engineers vision to build an extraordinary company… one of the greatest American leaders in history.”

Android might not be what it is today if it weren't for the iPhone. Apple may have fallen behind, but just a few years ago they were a leader, and it's to the credit of Steve Jobs. We will all miss him dearly.

  1. I may not be a hige fan of Apple products (though that’s not to say I “hate” them…), but today the world lost a true legend and one of the greatest innovators in the technology industry ever…

    Steve Jobs was a brilliant man and it is fair to say that countless industries would not be where they are today if it were not for him.

    He will be greatly missed, throughout the world…

  2. So sorry to hear that Steve Jobs has lost his battle against pancreatic cancer. We have benefited from Steve Job’s twisted creative, genius mind. Anticipated every leap into new technology.RIP and go with God!

  3. The world has lost a true visionary and an undeniable genius. If only there were more people in this world with his ideals in mind, and perhaps we could live in a place that’s, at the very least, a more positive place to be. I’m truly saddened myself to hear this… RIP
