You brought us not only innovation but also inspiration.
You strengthened us not only by your success but also by your failure.
You showed us what it's like to live every day as the last day of our lives.
You will always be an example for generations to come. RIP.

Saddest day this millennium.
Sad sad day.
You will be missed more then any CEO of any company.
My condolences go out to his wife, family and friends.
You were a true visionary, who can surpass you.
Thank you for being such a great man.
R.I.P. Mr Steve Jobs

I was woken up at 05:30 by a family member on hear way to work to her Steve had passed. Its now almost two hours since that, I'm in bed reading the comments here and elsewhere and I'm still crying. Words can't describe how sad I am about these terrible news.

Thanks Steve.
My first computer was an Apple ][. My dream job was to work at Apple, I got to work at Adobe, I've had opportunities to go to Cupertino for work and see you live at keynotes.
Without you I wouldn't have my career. Without you the world would still be beige.
Rest in peace my friend, you've earned it.

This. I could not have said it better. I have you to thank, Steve, for where I am now in a career I love.
Thank you all for the words I can't seem to find. I am at a loss.
Thank you Steve. You added to the joy in our lives. Made our work better. Made our fun better. Made our work fun. My thoughts are with your family. We all grieve, but none of our grief compares to theirs.
You will be missed. You will be remembered.
R.I.P. Steve 
You gave us so much in this otherwise stagnant world.
You are and always will be my hero.
You will be missed...

Just to set the record straight.
Steve died peacefuly this afternoon while in bed suffering from cancer with his family surrounding him.
Please. This is not the time to argue. Respect that.
Many visionaries and other great men never receive proper acknowledgement in their time, let alone reap the fruits of their own success.
Therefore, I take comfort in the fact that in his last year, Steve not only got to see the astounding success of the iPad, as well as Apple becoming the #1 smartphone vendor by volume he also got to read headlines stating that Apple passed Exxon as the world's most valuable company, not to mention that Apple at one point this year was richer than the US Government.
He was an orphan who started his journey in a garage and ended it as king of the world. An inspiring story, reminding us to never walk in anyone's footsteps but to make your own path.

"At least three of Apples Cupertino Campus buildings and Hewlett-Packards headquarters were shut down as police chase the suspect of a multiple homicide."
"Allman left the meeting, returned with an automatic rifle and a handgun then shot eight people, killing three, wounding seven others."
Not a good day for Apple

Steve was a truly visionary man - with uncompromising clarity and determination about how things should be done - and equal determination to make it so. His impact on the world of technology will be felt for many many years to come.
My condolences to Steve's family, as well as to his friends and colleagues at Apple.
RIP Steve.

He was a regular person just like the rest of us, except unlike most of us, he took that potential he had deep within himself and unleashed it and in doing so, he made the world even better. Thank you Steve for living life to your full capabilities and allowing us to reap the benefits of your beautiful mind.

Not to be 'that guy' but I wonder if this was considered likely on the 4th when they were pitching the iPhone 4s - several people seemed subdued and I can't help but wonder if news of his (Likely near) death arrived then.
In any case a great mind has passed. I wish him and his family peace.

Steve,
you understood that we didn't want to fiddle with plastic and glass toys. We wanted to show friends pictures, listen to music, learn about the world, call our family, create art. You made products that made connections between people grow. You made transparent devices that linked human beings.
