Remembering Steve Jobs: One Week Later

People around the world continue to send their condolences to the man some say changed their world forever.

As you know, the Apple inventor, creator, pioneer, and entrepreneur (as listed on his death certificate) passed last week at the age of 56 due to pancreatic cancer.

We thought President Obama's statement on the passing of Jobs was also creative, especially these remarks:

"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."


Jobs' fans leave creative artwork to remember him.
Steve Jobs' life is set to be brought to the big screen after Sony Pictures bought the film rights to his biography.

The studio behind the Facebook film 'The Social Network' has reportedly paid around $1 million to base the movie on the forthcoming authorized biography of the late Apple co-founder.

Today, shares of Apple stock soared 19 points to end at $388.81.
