The Wall Street Journal reported:
Steven P. Jobs, the Apple Inc. chairman and co-founder who pioneered the
personal computer industry and changed the way people think about
technology, died Wednesday at the age of 56. “Steve’s brilliance,
passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich
and improve all of our lives,” Apple’s board said in a statement. “The
world is immeasurably better because of Steve.” His family, in a
separate statement, said Mr. Jobs “died peacefully today surrounded by
his family…We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you
respect our privacy during our time of grief.” The company didn’t
specify the cause of his death. Mr. Jobs had battled pancreatic cancer
and several years ago received a liver transplant.In August, Mr. Jobs
stepped down as CEO, handing the reins to Tim Cook.
“Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
