Steve Jobs was posthumously awarded a Grammy Award last night for his contribution to the music industry. The Recording Academy  announced in December  that the late Apple co-founder would receive one of the organization's Special Merit Awards for helping "to create products and technology that transformed the way we consume music, TV, movies, and books." The award was accepted by Eddy Cue, who was recently promoted to senior vice president for Internet software and services:  On behalf of Steve's wife, Laurene, his children, and everyone at Apple, I'd like to thank you for honoring Steve with the Trustees Grammy Award. Steve was a visionary, a mentor, and a very close friend. I had the incredible honor of working with him for the last fifteen years. Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant so much to him. He told us that music shaped his life...it made him who he was. Everyone that knows Steve knows the profound impact that artist...

Shocking news just coming across the wire.  Just months after relinquishing control of Apple to new CEO  Tim Cook , the company is reporting that  Steve Jobs  has died. Jobs had been battling pancreatic cancer and had stepped down earlier this year, effectively handing the reins to Cook. At the time, Jobs said, ”I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.” “I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it,” Jobs wrote. “I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.”
