From Wikipedia: 
Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 201 was an American entrepreneur and inventor. He was co-founder,[7]chairman, and former chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer.[10]


Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. Thanks for the iPod, and the mouse. And most of all thank you for Pixar. Words to live by: Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish. 

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to....love what you do. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited. Don't waste it living someone else's life"  - Steve Jobs
