On its website, Apple has just confirmed that its co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs, has passed away at age 56. After bringing the company back from the brink of bankruptcy and turning it into one of the world's most succesful technology companies, Jobs lost the battle with pancreatic cancer.

Yup.
Though, it's perhaps worth pondering how much of the company is now Apple, and how much NeXT in disguise ...it was essentially a corporate coup when Steve returned; probably most present core technologies in Apple product lines tracing their lineage back to Next, or developed/adapted/bought after Steve's return.
Next being also largely about Steve Jobs, obviously.
