The hard-driving executive pioneered the concept of the personal computer and of navigating them by clicking onscreen images with a mouse. In more recent years, he introduced the iPod portable music player, the iPhone and the iPad tablet -- all of which changed how we consume content in the digital age.
More than one pundit, praising Jobs' ability to transform entire industries with his inventions, called him a modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci.
"Steve Jobs is one of the great innovators in the history of modern capitalism," New York Times columnist Joe Nocera said in August. "His intuition has been phenomenal over the years."
Jobs' death, while dreaded by Apple's legions of fans, was not unexpected. He had battled cancer for years, took a medical leave from Apple in January and stepped down as chief executive in August because he could "no longer meet (his) duties and expectations."

RIP.
And @Howard, I think that's a sentiment that Steve probably shared with you. He may have been wealthy beyond what any of us will ever know, but he didn't strike me as a man who celebrated wealth. He celebrated greatness.
I'm not saying you have to love Apple or even Steve, but show some respect, guys.
Here's to you Steve. I will miss you terribly.
