Happy Birthday Steve Jobs: The Apple Legend Turns 56

Today, Steve Jobs turns 56. And, on behalf of the entire team here at AppAdvice, I'd like to wish the Apple CEO a very happy birthday. I would also like to wish Steve Jobs a speedy recovery, too.
Steve Jobs means an awful lot to Apple as a company, and Apple's fanbase - people like you, and me. His charisma and personality are irreplaceable, as is his creativity.
Under Jobs' leadership, Apple has created a variety of "revolutionary" products - such as the Macintosh computer, the iPod, the iPad, and the iPhone. Perhaps the greatest achievement to come out of Cupertino in the past 10 years is the iOS: Apple's mobile operating system.
Additionally, you might not know this, but Steve Jobs actually invented the iPhone - his name is on the original patent.
Back in January, Steve Jobs took a medical leave of absence for undisclosed reasons. Since then, a variety of reports have hit the Web, claiming that Jobs is suffering from cancer - an illness he managed to beat back in 2009.
Apple needs Steve Jobs at the helm, the company just wouldn't be the same without him. So Steve, get well soon - and fast. We need you on stage for WWDC '11.
And, once again, happy birthday. If you want to send Steve Jobs a birthday message, feel free to post it in the comments.
