Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died on Wednesday at the age of 56 after a long battle with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. RIP Steve everyone will miss you especially the apple fans!!
Outpourings of sympathy swept across the globe as state leaders, business rivals and fans paid respect to the man who touched the daily lives of countless millions through the Macintosh computer, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
"A visionary, a creative genuis, will be missed by all especially Apple Inc. Will be remembered for the i-technology, imac, ipod, itunes, iphone and ipad others could only follow R.I.P."
Steve Jobs spent his final weeks as he had spent most of his life - in tight control of his choices, the New York Times reported.
For Steve, it was all about living life on his own terms and not wasting a moment with things he didn't think were important. He was aware that his time on earth was limited. He wanted control of what he did with the choices that were left."
In his final months, Jobs's home - a large and comfortable but relatively modest brick house in a residential neighborhood - was surrounded by security guards. His driveway's gate was flanked by two black SUVs.
He invited a close friend, the physician Dean Ornish to join him for sushi at one of his favorite restaurants Jin Sho. He said goodbye to longtime colleagues including the venture capitalist John Doerr, the Apple board member Bill Campbell and the Disney Chief Executive Robert A.lger. He offered Apple's executives advice on unveiling the iPhone 4S, which occured Tuesday. He spoke to his viographer, Walter Isaacson. He started a new drug regime, and told some friends that there was reason for hope.
In his final days, he became so weak that it was hard for him to walk up the stairs of his own home anymore, his wife Laurene said.
