who revolutionized modern
culture with ubiquitous
inventions like the iPod and the
iPad. We are deeply saddened to
announce that Steve Jobs passed
away today, the California-
based gadgetmaker said in a
statement from its board of
directors.
Steve Jobs,former CEO and co-
founder of US technology giant
Apple 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.Tim Cook — who had been
handling Apple day-to-day
operations since Jobs went on
medical leave in January, and
was made CEO in August — led
the praise for the Silicon Valley
legend.
Apple has lost a visionary and
creative genius, and the world
has lost an amazing human
being. Those of us who have
been fortunate enough to know
and work with Steve have lost a
dear friend and an inspiring
mentor, he said. Steve leaves behind a company
that only he could have built,
and his spirit will forever be the
foundation of Apple.
Apple turned its home page into
a tribute to Jobs, posting a large
black-and-white photo of the
bearded high-tech maestro in
his trademark black turtleneck
and small round glasses. The
only caption: Steve Jobs,
1955-2011.
When a user clicks on the photo,
they are taken to Cook
message in remembrance of
Jobs, who died after a long
battle with pancreatic cancer.
