The California Government has dubbed Oct. 16 as Steve Jobs Day, as Apple holds a memorial service for the creator of Apple at the Stanford University on Sunday.

Steve Jobs, 56, co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of California-based Apple Inc., died last Wednesday after a long battle with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. The news of his death has become, in all probability, the most publicized event of recent times and has certainly spread like wild fire across the Internet. Unfortunately, his biological mother has no clues about it all.

This Sunday will be Steve Jobs Day in the State of California, Gov. Jerry Brown tweeted Friday night. The same day, Apple Inc. will conduct an invitation-only memorial service for its late co-founder and former CEO at Stanford University.
