Steve Jobs 1955-2011

Steve Jobs, the man whose innovations from his parents' garage in Silicon Valley became emblematic for not only the computer revolution, but also a paragon of American ingenuity and entrepreneurialism passed away Wednesday after a seven year battle with pancreatic cancer. His legacy is garganuan. From the co-founding of Apple, to the paradigm shifts of the Macintosh, to the iPods and iPads and iPhones, Jobs reinvented much of the framework of what has become commonplace in modern life. He was 56.
