Steve Jobs died today

Steve Jobs, the CEO and founder of Apple, died today at the age of 56, presumably from pancreatic cancer which he was diagnosed with in 2008. The Wall Street Journal says…

His family, in a statement released by Apple, said Mr. Jobs “died peacefully today surrounded by his family…We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.”
The company didn’t specify the cause of his death. Mr. Jobs had battled pancreatic cancer and several years ago received a liver transplant. In August, Mr. Jobs stepped down as CEO, handing the reins to Tim Cook.
“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being,” Mr. Cook said in a letter to employees. “We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.”

Fuck. This blows. I know there will be some douchy nerds out there too cool to admit how great Apple is, but they can go fuck themselves. Apple products are better then every other similar product by a million miles. Apple is awesome. I feel like someone in my family just died, except this is way worse because my family isn’t all that great.
