There is no easy way to say this. The phenomenal innovator and genius behind Apple, Steve Jobs, has died on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 at the age of 56-years-old.

How he will be missed! And yet, what a legacy he has left in his demise. Technology was revolutionized because of one Steve Jobs. This is indisputable.

He was prolific in his approach to Apple and it’s products and we are the benefactors of his incredible insight and creativity.

Yesterday, the IPhone 4S was released via a very subdued presentation by Apple’s new CEO, Tim Cook. Many people on Twitter were commenting on the lack of charisma from a marketing standpoint of Tim Cook and his company.

However, this muted presentation ran deeper. I am sure that the executives at Apple knew that Mr. Jobs was indeed dying and were understandably upset and distracted by the news.

My heart and my prayers are with his family at this very difficult time. R.I.P. Mr. Steve Jobs. And thank you for changing and rocking all of our worlds.
