I was so surprised to hear the news.
It seems that one era was end.
Here is the annoucement of Apple.
thanks to Steve, "The world is immeasurably better."
We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.
Steve’s 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.
His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.
