Steve Jobs DEAD AT 56

Steve Jobs -- the mega-genius who co-founded Apple Inc. -- has died ... reps for the company have confirmed. Jobs was 56. Jobs suffered a number of serious health issues over the years. In 2004, he announced he had a rare -- but treatable -- form of pancreatic cancer ... and had a tumor successfully removed from his pancreas later that year. TMZ posted a picture of Jobs two days after he resigned as Apple's CEO in August, clearly showing a deterioration in his health. In 2009, Jobs received a liver transplant after announcing his "health-related issues were more complex than I thought." UPDATE: Apple has released a statement ... reading, "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
