Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

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.- President Obama
He not only gave me a lot of personal advice and encouragement, he showed all of us how innovation can change lives." - Jerry Yang, Yahoo! co-founder
For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. - Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder
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. - Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder
Steve was such an 'original,' with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. - Bob Iger, Walt Disney CEO

The difference between the first world and my world is that you acknowledge justly what a man has done in his time and when he passes on, whether he was a friend or enemy, business partner or competitor.  And you salute the passing of a man as great as Steve Jobs was, because he was a great man.  His work changed the lives of millions across the world.
