Remembering Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and one of the world's most innovative and inspirational men has died at the age of 56 on Wednesday the 5th of October 2011.

The world has begun to pay tribute with figures such as Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Bill Gates and even Arnold Swarchenegger making public statements such as "Greatest Tech Entrepreneur in history" and "The world has lost a visionary".

Furthermore and despite previous conflicts, Google have also paid respect with a tribute to Steve on their homepage. It simply reads "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011" with a link to the Apple website where they are currently presenting a tribute of their own.

Apple Steve Jobs Tribute

Steve will be sorely missed by the world as spokesman of Apple and I do not think I could say it any better than Barack Obama:

"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."

I knew he was stepping down from CEO of Apple but still planning to be involved on the board, I just didn't imagine this being the absolute end of Steve.
A true, original pioneer of the tech world will be missed but not forgotten.

That's a great quote, Grae!

Yeah, his death really surprised me. The revealing of the iPhone 4S was pretty unusual with Tim Cook and it did make me think "It's a shame Steve has had to step down"... He must have known his time was coming to an end. What a shame!

Well with it only being released the day before his death, I'm sure they had an idea of Steve's health.
With Tim becoming the new face of Apple, I'm sure Steve would have wanted him to release it anyway, although, it would have made a step down farewell for Steve all the same.

Just won't seem the same without him, like an old band without the origioal frontman.
