RIP Steve Jobs

[TimberWolf]

He had only just retired too.

I don't think he would've retired if he hadn't been so ill.

Sad loss.

Not sure there are many who survive Pancreatic Cancer. A mate of mine didn't.

Nope - As it's practically asymptomatic, people rarely know they have it until it's too late.

Front page of the Hail has a series of images at various Apple launches that show just how quickly this happened.

Some touching tributes too:

Have they tried turning him off then on again?

Probably explains the subdued Apple show earlier in the week.

Looks like that photo 'leaked' a few weeks ago showing him extremely frail wasn't a fake after all.

Shows even billionaires can't buy health so make the most of yours while you still have it.

As he died from pancreatic cancer, same as Bill Hicks who died only 32, maybe there's a link to the magic mushrooms both were known to have consumed in quantity in their youth.

Hopefully some of his and Apple's fortunes will go to increasing the currently very poor survival rates of that particular form of cancer.

Apple announce new product range.




Sad news, he really did hang on at Apple until the very end. Will be sorely missed.

RIP Steve.
