Today's tech news highlights-Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen dead at 65 from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma GENIUS MAN,Honor 8X is here in India: Priced at Rs 15K onwards, to be available on Amazon next week
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has died only several weeks after announcing he was getting treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Paul Allen, a technology pioneer who helped launch the personal computer revolution as co-founder of Microsoft with Bill Gates, has died,accordingto his company, Vulcan Inc.
The cause was complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a condition that surfaced in 2009 and returned just a few weeks ago. Allen was 65.
On Oct. 1, Allen wrote a short but upbeat note on his personal website, noting that "I’ve begun treatment & my doctors are optimistic that I will see a good result. Appreciate the support I’ve received & count on it as I fight this challenge."
Washington Gov. Paul Inslee called Allen "a giant in Washington history."
Gates, describing himself as "heartbroken" in a statement released by his office, said his friend "wasn't content starting one company, he channeled his intellect and compassion into a second act focused on improving people's lives and strengthening communities in Seattle and around the world.
"He was fond of saying, 'If it has the potential to do good, then we should do it,'" Gates wrote. "That's the kind of person he was."
Allen helped found Microsoft in 1975 when he was 22, joining his longtime Seattle-area computer pal in a venture that transformed society.
While Gates went on to run Microsoft for decades, finally leaving to focus on his philanthropic efforts at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Allen left the upstart company in 1982 because of an illness and never returned full-time.
Instead, Allen, who was worth around $20 billion, quickly pivoted to a range of technology investments as well as a passion for cultural ventures such as the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
Allen also was known as the owner of numerous mega-yachts and sports franchises, including the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.
Vulcan CEO Bill Hilt, speaking for his company as well as the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trailblazers, Stratolaunch Systems, the Allen Institute and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, said in a statement that "Paul’s life was diverse and lived with gusto.
"It reflected his myriad interests in technology, music and the arts, biosciences and artificial intelligence, conservation and in the power of shared experience – in a stadium or a neighborhood – to transform individual lives and whole communities," Hilt said.
Allen’s sister, Jody Allen, said on the Vulcan site that her brother was a remarkable individual “on every level. While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and philanthropist, for us he was a much loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend.
"Paul’s family and friends were blessed to experience his wit, warmth, his generosity and deep concern," she wrote. "For all the demands on his schedule, there was always time for family and friends.”
The non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that took Allen's life is a type of cancer that develops in the body’s white blood cells and lymph nodes, which are part of the immune system. It most often strikes adults, though children can also get it.
There are two types, indolent, which is slow growing and aggressive, which can spread rapidly. It is typically treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy and is considered highly treatable especially if discovered early.
Friends pay tribute
Tributes to Allen poured in Monday, including those from current and former Microsoft leaders.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote on his LinkedIn page that Allen’s "contributions to our company, our industry and to our community are indispensable. As co-founder of Microsoft, in his own quiet and persistent way, he created magical products, experiences and institutions, and in doing so, he changed the world."
Past CEO Steve Ballmer tweeted that "Paul was a truly wonderful, bright and inspiring person—- and a great friend. I will miss him."
Actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted his condolences, noting that Allen was a strong advocate for environmental protection and "his team at Vulcan played a pivotal role in developing the Shark Conservation Fund alongside LDF (DiCaprio's foundation). His legacy lives on via his incredible work as a philanthropist and investor."
Music producer Quincy Jones tweeted "RIP to my dear friend (& killer guitar player) Paul Allen. Your genius & generosity has & will forever be felt by mankind."
Earlier this year, Jones regaled New York magazine's Vulture blog with tales of sailing as a guest on one of Allen's yachts, noting that Allen could play and sing "just like (Jimi) Hendrix," another Seattle-area legend whose guitars Allen collected.
Launching Microsoft
The story of Allen and Gates founding Microsoft is in some ways even more incredible than the tale of how Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple. While the latter duo met as young adults, Allen and Gates started their friendship as teens.
Allen and Gates met when they were both students at Lakeside, an elite private school in Seattle that begins in fifth grade and continues through high school. They first met in 1967 when Allen was 14 and Gates was 12.
