October 5th, 2011Apple and the world have lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those who have been fortunate enough to have known Steve personally have lost a dear friend and inspiring mentor.
Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will be forever its foundation.Tim Cook, Steve Jobs sucessor and current CEO of Apple
No matter what you thought of Apples products, it cant be argued that there are very few People on this earth that have created the impact that Steve has, one that will be felt for generations to come. Everyone from all walks of life have expressed their condolences ranging from The Office of the President of the United States Mr. Obama and the first Lady, to a shaken Steve 'Woz' , and even long time Rival, Business Partner, and Friend depending on who you ask and what period of time your referring to Mr. Bill Gates said
The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor, I will miss Steve immensely.And as far as I'm concerned it could not have been put better, or had as much meaning if it had come from anyone else than him.
To end this post on a High note, I dug up a few pictures of Steve Jobs playing around with the iSight camera on a macbook in 2005, thumbnails below and click though for the larger version on the CDN ( Powered by the super awesome Cloudflare if you give em a try send me an email and I'll get you a referral discount code ). The should bring a smile to your face, they did mine ...

August 24, 2011Letter from Steve Jobs
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
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.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
