It’s with great sadness that we mourn the passing of a truly great man, an inspirational giant in the technology world. Apple announced that Steve passed away earlier today, October 5th.

IMP’s Co-Producer, Bart Busschots, posted a fantastic tribute to Steve on his blog and sent this to the rememberingsteve@apple.com address that Apple have asked people to sent their thoughts to.
