Some Powerful words by Steve Jobs on Death itself.
A great video about Steve Jobs




Statement by Steve Jobs’ Family:
Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.

In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.

We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.

Statement by Apple’s Board of Directors:
We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

Statement by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates:
"I'm truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs' death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work. Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. 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."

Statement by Mark Zuckerberg:
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.

Statement by Barack Obama:
Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. 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.

By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve’s wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.

This was the sadest news, when I read it today.
Even if I was not the greatest fan of Apple, I would surely miss him. The inspirational speech he gave in a university still echos to my ear.

I know he has left a legacy that will only flourish.
Rest in peace Jobs... Rest in peace.

I am the night...I am...
Man even i came to know of it today and was very sad. Steve was undoubtedly the greatest entrepreneur and inventor of all time. His ideas really were something and is the sole reason for what apple is today.

People are referring him as Leonardo-da vinci of modern age and that is so true.

He will be deeply missed by all. R.I.P.

Re: Steve Jobs passes away!!

I am not an Apple fan too but Steve was the reason we have better and innovative products from nearly all major manufacturer. Apple's products became benchmark for everything from MP3 players to mobiles to tablets and even computers (atleast from design perspective). Due to Apple manufacturers like Dell, Samsung HTC, Blackberry etc. came out with better & better designed products. I think Steve Jobs vision has directly or indirectly touched everyone of us. Truly a great man!
May his soul iRIP.
