Mr. Gates’s full statement:

 

“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.”

 

 

My iPod weeps, my PC sheds a tear, and my Droid tips it's hat for a great man

RIP to the man who reinvented the cell phone, pc, and tablet computer. Most innovative person in the world. The world just lost a great, and extremely intelligent person. His death isn't only felt in the world but it is especially saddening for me. I own almost all of his products, with no regrets and they have made my life just so much easier.

R.I.P. to a genius who revolutionized the world. People may hate on Apple for their products but without them we would not have the advances we have today. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad truly paved the way for all the similar products like them today in each of their categories. He will be missed by many and I thank him for pursuing his dreams throughout his life.

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new...Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life...Almost everything: all external expectations, all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure. These tings just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."

 

Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005

 

I somewhat ironically found out about his death while doing a seminar exercise at Adobe MAX. It's obvious he knew that this was coming as he was making a gradual exit for many months before this official departure in August.

 

I personally didn't agree with all his views and decisions, but can't deny that his larger concepts definitely affected how we see and use technology for the better. I do however fully respect that he accomplished what he did and was still extremely conntected, supportive and involved in the lives of his wife and children, and I'm happy that when he passed he was surrounded by those he loved, and who loved him, which is the best any of us could ask for.
