Steve Jobs Dies, But Not Without Leaving a Legacy

Apple co-founder, former CEO dies at 56.

The visionary, the dreamer, the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs died Wednesday night. He suffered from pancreatic cancer, underwent a liver transplant in 2009, and had a medical leave this past January.

Even though he lived in California and spent more than 11 years as Apple CEO, his life and death have apparently touched many. Twitter went crazy Wednesday night with constant updates marked by the hashtag #ThankYouSteve.

In an effort to understand Jobs' impact on those of us here, take the poll. I'm curious how many of us own at least one Apple product.
