Steve Jobs die

The last wednesday 5fh of october, the transcendent Silicon Valley entrepreneur have died at 56 years old on Los Ángeles. The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his hight scool friend Stephen Wozniak. The visionary co-founder of Apple Inc. who revolutionized the way we use technology, died after fighting advanced pancreatic cancer since 2004.

"The world has lost a visionary. And there maybe no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented," US President Barack Obama said in a statement.

Unlike many famous people diagnosed with cancer or other fatal illnesses, Jobs revealed few details about his health after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

That was also true when he resigned from the company in August 2011.  Jobs’ shed little insight on his condition in this excerpt from his letter to the Apple Board of Directors:

“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.

Fans paid homage to Jobs outside Apple stores around the world, from Los Angeles to Sydney.

Outside one store in New York City, mourners laid candles, bouquets of flowers, an apple and an iPod Touch in a makeshift memorial.

In San Francisco, they held up black-and-white portraits of Jobs on their iPads.

Many websites, including Apple's own, were transformed into online memorials, a testament to the digital creativity that Jobs inspired.
He co-founded Apple Computer Inc. in 1976. Based in Cupertino, Calif., the company developed one of the first commercially successful personal computers, the Apple II. Less than 10 years after its founding, though, Apple’s business had lost its momentum, and, in 1985, Jobs was forced to resign.

With a passion for minimalist design and a genius for marketing, Jobs laid the groundwork for the company to continue to flourish after his death, most analysts and investors say.

But Apple still faces challenges in the absence of the man who was its chief product designer, marketing guru and salesman nonpareil.

Phones running Google's Android software are gaining share in the smartphone market, and there are questions over what the next big thing is in Apple's product line.

A year later, Jobs helped found Pixar, the independent animation studio that produced Toy Story and its two sequels, Monsters Inc., Ratatouille, and a host of others Academy Award-winning computer-animated films.
