Steve Jobs Leaves Legacy in Government (Photo Slide Show)

For many in government, the innovation Jobs inspired has changed how work gets done.

On Wednesday, Oct. 5, the technology world lost one of its biggest contributors: Steve Jobs. The founder and former CEO of Apple died at age 56 after fighting a long-term battle with cancer and a series of other health problems.
