everything i've read said he died of pancreatic cancer, and according to wikipedia "95% of pancreatic cancers are ductal adenocarcinomas" so yea, i dunno if it's right but it seems that's likely what it was

first of all, it's a little confusing because often "pancreatic cancer" is used interchangeably with "adenocarcinoma". but strictly speaking adenocarcinoma is a type of pancreatic cancer.

jobs himself stated that he had an islet cell neuroendocrine tumour. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/08/02/MNGMJ816F41.DTL

if he had an adenocarcinoma he would've been dead a long time ago.

Steve Jobs turned his company around and bears complete responsibility for Apple's wildly successful products and brands and the cult following it has.

Never been a fan of iStuff too much, but I can definitely appreciate success and hardwork..

RIP.

Man, this seemed to come out of nowhere. To me at least.
It feels weird to see a legend like that die...

He is leaving behind such an incredible legacy. It's amazing how humbling it can be to see such a legendary man die. Really makes me think about how short life is and how much I may be wasting.

I still consider most apple products to be overpriced trash that puts more emphasis on superficialities than on performance, but there's still no denying that steve jobs was a true visionary and one of the most gifted marketers or our times.

his legacy will live on. RIP

Fuck the products and the "MS vs Apple".

This guy was a complete genius and is truly a loss.

RIP.

Even if he began to lose sight of his original company promise, he still knew how to market the hell out of a product and revolutionized how we view technology. We're the worst for his departure. Rest in peace.

I forgot about this video! He gets up in front of a bunch of college grads and tells them that they wasted their money on school.

Everything he touched turned to gold. A very talented individual, a shame to see him go. RIP Steve Jobs
