Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dies aged 56

TheKemp — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:11:43 GMT

Former chief executive and co-founder of US technology giant Apple Steve Jobs has died, the company says. He was 56.

"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve," Apple said.
Jobs announced he was suffering from pancreatic cancer in 2004.
Microsoft boss Bill Gates said Jobs' "profound impact" would " be felt for many generations to come".
Mr Gates added: "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honour. I will miss Steve immensely."
US President Barack Obama also paid tribute: "Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."
And New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that "America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come".
'The face of Apple'
In the statement Apple said: "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being".
"Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Jobs had built a reputation as a forthright and demanding leader who could take niche technologies - such as the mouse and the graphical window-based interface - and make them popular with the general public.
He introduced the colourful iMac computer, the iPod and the iPhone to the world. His death came just a day after Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 4S model.
In 2004, Jobs announced that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer and he had a liver transplant five years later.
In January, he took medical leave, before resigning as CEO in August and handing over his duties to Tim Cook.
In his resignation letter, Jobs said: "I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role."
However, Jobs stayed on as Apple's chairman.
More than almost any other business leader, he was indistinguishable from his company, which he co-founded in the 1970s.
Apple - whose market value is estimated at $351bn (£227bn) - is now the world's most valuable technology company. Only oil giant Exxon Mobil is worth more.
As the face of Apple, Jobs represented its dedication to high-end technology and fashionable design.
And inside the company he exerted a level of influence unheard of in most businesses.
Despite a high profile, however, he remained fiercely protective of his private life.
He married his wife Laurene in 1991, and the couple had three children.
Jobs also leaves a daughter from a previous relationship, and as an adult discovered that he had a biological sister, US novelist Mona Simpson.

THANK YOU, STEVE/ RIP

Andy Whitfield, star of the Starz Entertainment sword-and-sandal series Spartacus, has died at the age of 39.

TheKemp — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:29:31 GMT

According to The New York Times, the actor succumbed to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of blood cancer with which he was diagnosed in March 2010.

Whitfield was born in Wales, but made his home in Australia, where he first came to attention after stints in a number TV shows, including All Saints and Packed to the Rafters.

The sometime model had his biggest breakthrough, though, when he was cast in the Starz series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, in which he played the title role of a soldier who leads a rebellion against the Roman Empire.

The series was an instant hit thanks to his turn in the classic role that had previously been filled by such screen icons as Kirk Douglas.

After his diagnosis last March, Whitfield began to undergo treatment in New Zealand, which led to the delay of the second season of the show and the filming of a six-part prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena for which he provided some voiceover work.

He was initially declared cancer-free a few months after treatment, but suffered a relapse later in the year that forced him to abandon the role, which was recast.

His wife, Vashti, has since issued a statement confirming his death: "On a beautiful sunny Sydney morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his love wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18-month battle with lymphoma cancer ... he passed peacefully surrounded by love,"

"Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have helped carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was."

Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht also stated: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield,"

"We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in Spartacus and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life. Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace."

He added: "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans."
