RIP Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc.

After a not so welcome press release of iPhone 4s yesterday that did not meet most of the user's expectation, Apple announced another unwelcome news. Steve Jobs(1955-2011) are more known to be co-founder, chairman and ex-CEO of Apple Inc has passed away. Little of us know this electronic giant has actual relations with Pixar and Walt Disney too.
There are lots of ups and down of his life that can be found every where in the internet exp Wikipedia.

Author's note: Although presenting a tribute to the death isn't what we Dygadget's work but we can't deny that Steve Jobs is one of the most influential person in the Consumer Electronics and Computer Industry since last century. RIP Steve Jobs.
