ram2767 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 According to a statement just issued by Apple’s Board of Directors, company co-founder and longtime CEO Steve Jobs has passed away. Apple has also put up the following website in memory. They’re asking for “thoughts, memories, and condolences” to be shared by way of this email address: rememberingsteve@apple.com It was only a little over a month ago that Jobs stepped down as CEO saying at the time, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.” Jobs remained Chairman of the Board at the company, as well as director and an Apple employee. He recommended that company COO Tim Cook take his place as CEO. Yesterday, Cook gave his first keynote address as CEO, unveiling the new iPhone 4S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Will be remembered as one of the great commercial innovators of our age. Born of a hippy vintage, driven by punk commercial values. But I'd bet he couldn't skip over mud like Archie Gemmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm not going to pretend I've heard of him before but after reading about him on the BBC News page, he did some awesome things until pancreatic cancer stopped him. 56, that's no age is it? RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I honestly thought this was a wind-up. They've been denying rumours about his health for ages now. Expect the stock price to take a big hit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Also helped evolve Pixar into the animation studio we all love and know today. Sad days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 rip did wonders for apple and as ramshankered mentioned pixar, he also took over apple after he had been ousted by the managers he put in place when there were serious bankruptcy fears. Achieved amazing things and should be respected for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_ram Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great businessman, made people believe that their quality of life would be significantly improved if they had one of Apple's products and had the best marketing nous of all the CEO's in the Technology business at the moment. However, it's a little bit annoying when people call him an inventor because he didn't actually invent anything he was just the face of Apple, there are thousands of engineers and designers who designed and manufactured it all. It'd be unfair on them to give him all the credit for their success of the last decade. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
