APPLE BOSS, STEVE JOBS DIES @ 56
Steve Jobs, co-founder and former chief executive of US technology giant Apple, has died at the age of 56.
Jobs had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time. In 2004, Jobs announced that he was suffering from the disease and he had a liver transplant five years later.
In January, he took medical leave, before resigning as CEO in August and handing over his duties to Tim Cook.
Apple said his “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”.
US President Barack Obama said that with his death, the world had “lost a visionary”.
Microsoft boss Bill Gates said Jobs’ “profound impact” on the world of technology would “be felt for many generations to come”.
Mr Gates added: “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honour. I will miss Steve immensely.”
And New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that “America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come”.
