Apple CEO Tim Cook is unsurprisingly one of those remembering Jobs today, and Cook has acknowledged the day in a pair of Tweets honoring Jobs and vowing to continue "the work he loved so much".
Remembering my friend Steve on his birthday. "Stay hungry, Stay foolish". We honor him by continuing the work he loved so much.

Coincidentally, today also marks the 14th birthday of MacRumors. Founded in February 2000 before the introduction of the iPad, iPhone, and even the iPod and OS X, the site has grown enormously and fostered the creation of our sister sites TouchArcade and AppShopper. As always, we are grateful to our readers, contributors, sponsors, and all those for whom MacRumors is an online home or a regular stop.

Others are already shipping products. Why wait for products from Apple that are not even announced but merely rumored?
Cuz the products they're shipping suck.
Thats one way to justify the time its taking for iWatch to make an appearance
As if Apple somehow owes you a watch?
So young. It's tragic. Needless to say, he was an inspiration to many, an enemy to some, a villain to others.
You could quote him, disagree with him, glorify or vilify him -
But you can't ignore him. Because he changed things. He pushed the human race forward.
Where others saw crazy, we saw genius.
Because the one who was crazy enough to change the world, was the one who did.
Really Tim? So why the f did you rush iOS7? And Mavericks? And iTunes11?
