Steven P. Jobs, the charismatic technology pioneer who co-founded Apple Inc. and transformed one industry after another, from computers and smartphones to music and movies, has died. He was 56. He had resigned as chief executive of Apple in August, after struggling with illness for nearly a decade, including a bout with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and a liver transplant six years later.

I haven't been a fan of his, but I do respect what what he has done for the computing industry as a whole. His vision is a thing that will be missed in the years to come. May he be at peace, and I wish his family well
