Default Steve Jobs passed away

I just read the news about Steve Jobs passing away, and that is really a big loss for Apple and computer and gadget users, especially the big fans of Apple's products.

I'm not the biggest Apple fan, but he did many great things for that company and technology in general. He will be missed.

I read that he died of pancreatic cancer, HIV and that there is no official cause of death released to the public yet. Which one is correct?

Didn't he step down from Apple not to long ago? To me that would suggest that he was sick and knew it. Obviously, by stepping down he made things easier for Apple.

That is kind of shocking and very sad. He was not very old, what 55 or 56? That is a real loss for the IT world. I would be interested to know any official information as well.

He was 56. He has been fighting cancer for many years now, and only just got to where he felt he couldn't do justice to the job in August. I have seen nothing about HIV, so I assume that is just a rumor.

I'm pretty sure it was the cancer. It is a sad loss because the man was a great visionary. I'm sure his legacy will live on for a very long time with as many lives as he has touched over the years.
