Here Today... Gone To Hell!

It is with great sadness that we must report that Steve Jobs has passed away. It was not long ago that he stepped down from Apple after a career that anyone could be proud of. Unfortunately, his career was cut short after several battles with different medical issues that forced him to eventually step down as CEO. Apple has issued the following statement:

    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.

No matter if you never owned a single Apple product or bought each new product the company came out, the entire industry benefited from his bold style and even more ambitious plans. Steve Jobs' not only saved a company from the brink of bankruptcy but he turned that company into the most valuable company in the World. He is a leader that anyone can admire, a true visionary of our time.

Our thoughts are with his family and hope that his last moments are Earth were peaceful. From everyone at Neowin, we say rest in peace Steve and thanks for all that you have done.


I wasn't a huge fan of Apple but he saved the company and changed technology forever with his innovations. RIP Steve Jobs.  :'(

Really, really sad about it. Can't even explain.. He was a genius like no other in our generation. RIP

he is iDead  rip

RIP.  He really changed the way computers, cell phones and way songs are brought. He also did a lot of good with his money I read. 

Very sad news.  Cancer is a horrible thing and is even more tragic when it takes someone in the prime of their life.  56 is young by today's standards.  Steve Jobs was arguably the greatest innovator of our time.  He was a guy who had the courage to find his passion, believe in himself and go for it!  That is very rare in this world.  RIP

RIP Steve Jobs
RIP Apple

Sad indeed.
Although I'm pretty sure many other people passed away from cancer today. And yesterday. And the day before.
RIP

Was very bummed when I heard this.  Very tragic that a once-in-generation visionary died at such a young age.  Who knows what other innovations we'll lose out on.  RIP. 

Certainly he has taken his many talents with him to the after life!!  Maybe peaceful, but probably won't be resting!!  God Bless!!

I'm going to be honest and admit that I wasn't sure who Steve Jobs was until his recent death. I have been looking him up today, and he was such a special and visionary person, the world has definitely lost a true talent.

RIP Steve Jobs...

Always sad to see someone pass away at a not so old age.

Rest in piece.

I would be surprised if anything that comes from Apple the next few years doesn't have Steve's prints on it in some way. After that though its up to the new guy Tim Cook to be the innovative leader. Tough shoes to fill indeed.

Very sad...I've heard alot of ppl say Isad alot lol...umm, didnt know alot about him, dont own any apple products, but the man was a genius and he lived his life the way most should I think, some of his quotes are phenominal
