Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being" reads the simple post on Apple's home page. And Apple CEO Tim Cook today sent this email to all Apple employees. Elsewhere online, the sadness is rolling in. Bill Gates writes: "The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely." On Facebook Mark Zuckerberg posted: "Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you." And President Obama released this statement: "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it." #RIPSteveJobs - thank you - and you will be missed.
