"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" We all know this proverb and it implies that having a daily supply of apple helps keep us healthy. Those tech savvy who fancy Macintosh products also appreciate the same quote. Today people are saddened for the passing of a man whose name has been phenomenal and has made the term Apple more than just your ordinary daily source of antioxidants. Steve Jobs, the CEO and founder of Macintosh or famously known as the "Apple" brand has passed away. Though the cause of death was not made known to public, he fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2004 and also had a liver transplant sometime in 2009. He probably knew the severity of his health condition that’s why on the 24th of August this year he decided to file his resignation as the CEO of the corporation and hand it over to Tim Cook who was the Chief Operating Officer at that time. From the first commercially successful personal computer to use a graphical interface up to the latest iPhone4S, he has brought us several technologies which have made our lives not just entertaining but a little easier than usual. Mp3 players, handhelds, personal computers and laptops, he has been a man of great creativity and dedication when it comes to his craft. His legacy will live on and his name will go down in the history of mankind. He is a king and a hero in the world of technology. He is the one who has brought us simple yet innovative technology that has influenced our daily lives and will continue to do so. He is Steve Jobs and may he rest in peace.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
- Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)
