Apple confirmed that today, October 5th of 2011, Steve Jobs has passed away at the age of 56. Since Steve announced his retirement as Apple's CEO about two months ago, there has been widespread speculation about his failing health. Rest in peace, Steve. You definitely left the world better and more interesting than when you found it.

The tech world exploded with rumors after former CBS news partner "What's Trending" mistakenly tweeted about Jobs' premature death. The tweet was deleted less than a minute after it had been posted, but the damage had already been done.

In a shocking announcement today, Steve Jobs has announced that he will be stepping down as Apple's CEO. Replacing him will be Tim Cook, who has been acting "leader" of Apple while Steve Jobs has been on medical leave.
