Steve Jobs is dead

"Leopard" Icons in BlackImage via WikipediaCo-founder of Apple Inc. died on the evening of October 5th. The Apple site shows  a black&white picture in one of his well known poses. Another chapter of computer history is written.

For myself I think, if you don't have to say something useful in that situation, don't say anything at all.

Instead I think it's best to let someone, who knows him and being in tough competition, say a few words.

I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family.
