Late on Wednesday, Apple released the news that co-founder Steve Jobs had passed away.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," Apple's Board of Directors said Wednesday in a statement.

This news comes soon after Steve resigned as the CEO of Apple. It appears that he was in fact very ill. Steve Jobs had been fighting a rare form of pancreatic cancer.

Steve Jobs will now be remembered as the man behind the iPod, and most importantly the iPhone. Although I was never a big fan of Apple, I still feel sorry for this loss.
