Steve Jobs, co founder of Apple Inc, sadly died yesterday after a year long battle with cancer. Tributes have gone up around the world for a man whose influence in the world of IT has made huge changes to the way we live our lives. He revolutionised the portable music industry, the smartphone industry and had a huge impact on the computer and laptop industry.
While I've never been a big fan of Apple (mainly due to their too often release cycle for new software/hardware), I respect the achievements of Steve Jobs and his contribution to modern life. It is with a great sadness that the world says a fond farewell to a man who has been hugely influential in many people's lives.
Rest in peace.
