Steve Jobs the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. passed away on Wednesday October 5th, 2011. Steve passed away in his house in Palo Alto, and then was buried on Friday October 7th, 2011. On monday they released a copy of Steve Jobs' death certificate and confirmed how he passed away. Steve jobs was fighting against pancreatic cancer since 2004, and needed to have a liver transplant in 2009. His cancer spread to his main organs which had caused his death. Steve had to take leave of absence three times due to his health issues. He had his last leave of absence in January and resigned this past August and chose Tim Cook to be the new CEO of Apple. Steve passed away the day after Apple announced the release of their newest iPhone, which is the 4s. Steve passed away at the age of 56, but got to live a very successful life.
My friends told me that someone named Steve Jobs passed away and I was asking who he was. I then found out that he was the CEO of Apple, and I got pretty sad. I use 3 Apple products, and soon will be 4. I have my itouch at home, and at school I use Macs and iPads. and soon I'll be getting the iPhone 4s :) but it saddens me that all the other apple products could possibly be slightly different because the original founder passed away.
