Very sad.

His untimely death portrays the fragility of life. You can be one of the richest people on the planet but you cannot buy your health.

RIP Steve Jobs.

A true rags to riches story.

The son of an Syrian immigrant and a US student, Jobs was unwanted at birth and put up for adoption. He dropped out of college, and started designing and building the first personal computers in his parents Garage. This became a multimillion dollar business, before he was kicked out of his own company. He went away and set up a company evolving a new OS (NeXT) and also purchase a CGI company off of George Lucas. (George Lucas was raising money for his divorce settlement). That was Pixar. Jobs sold NeXT to Apple and Pixar to Disney. He became the biggest shareholder of both companies and very wealthy.

But besides all that, Apple and Pixar, under Jobs' stewardship, added greatly to life by producing quality products and entertainment.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Judging by the vast amount of Asian copies of Steve's products, he must be highly respected worldwide.
