Thank you for changing our lives in such an extraordinary way.

He was a real-life Prometheus, bringing the fire of imagination to the world...and the world was changed forever!

I have just heard that the Lord has bought you to him. I hope you everything well. In fact, you are the person who inspired me well. I heard about lots of your story. Those stories inspired me to come to the USA to fulfill my dream. I have bought your Iphone 4 on Sep.13, 2011, I hope you and apple will make another milestone in the future. Unfortunately, the God is so like you that he has to take you there. I hope you are happy in the heaven, and use your genius and spirit to continue guide Apple to another top. My english is not as good as US citizen, but I hope you could receive my wish. I have planned to buy a ipad2 when I get enough money. I will continue to support you and your Apple. Your story and spirit will live long. Thank you!

Just want to say that Mr. Jobs and the engineers at Apple are a big reason why I am in the profession that I am today. If it was not for the innovation and vision brought by Steve my life would not be the same. Thank you very much and RIP

Steven

I am so sad to hear Steve Jobs died hours ago. I know it is so hard to have pancreas cancer because my mom died suffering that kind of cancer. Today,I learned to use Iphone and I am so proud to have it in my hands because Steve Jobs created that. May God bless him and be with him in the heaven.

I'm just an everyday college student, I did not know Jobs personally, yet when I look back on my geeky self as a kid, my most fond, special, and important memories all somehow involve my family's apple computer. We have only ever had apple computers; it seems such an insignificant detail of my early life, but I know that without Steve Jobs and his work, I would be a completely different person. I understand he wasn't the only person working at apple, and there are many others to thank, yet his was the face that I knew and recognized as a child. So I thank you Steve Jobs, you have had a profound effect on my life. RIP Steve Jobs

Thanks for providing this link as a place to express our collective grief. Steve Jobs and Apple transformed our lives and I feel his loss so personally as if I knew him. My heart goes out to his family and co-workers. We all have lost a remarkable human being and the world will just not be the same without him in it.

Thank you Steve Jobs for the vision. I wouldn't be able to do what I do today without a Mac. It's not just a computer, it has become a part of me. My Mac has changed my life. Steve Jobs has changed my life.

I Love Apple, I love Apple products. They have brought me so much from creativity to functionality, from Humour to Love, from happiness to sadness. I guess no one can go on forever, I guess all the money in the world can't buy health. However, if there is somewhere else and Steve is looking down, I hope he has a smile on his his face for the job he's done enriching so many lives with his great vision. Thanks for everything Mr Jobs

My condolences to Steve Jobs's family, friends, and colleagues. Apple has made my life as a resident physician easier in many ways. A large part of the innovation deservedly goes to Jobs. The world will be a different place from now on, I think.

Thanks Steve for all. The day i bought my first mac and from that moment in my life my entire vision of art, design and perfection changed. Yesterday during the keynote I thought a lot about you, your verve, your passion and today I read this bad news… Thanks for all.

R.I.P. Mr. Jobs! I will keep tryin' to still think different! “You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it’s humorous, all the attention to it, because it’s hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that’s happened to me.” -Steve Jobs “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” -Steve Jobs RIP Steve Jobs

The apple goes back into God's hands. If there is someone that can reach us from heaven and bring hope to this desperate world is Steve.

He was my leader, my inspiration. Death is not the end. It is only the beginning. Steve lives with every machine that has been made and will be made. The heartbeat stops, but the soul is still restless. Rest in peace Steve! You are the reason I am typing this mail, from a wonderful device to a wonderful human being!

Ashwin

He was a real visionary and inspiration; I listed to his Stanford speech on a regular basis just to make sure I'm on track with life and death. My deepest sympathy to his family, friends and co-workers. Rest In Peace.

Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, to Joanne Schieble (later Joanne Simpson) and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father, Jandali, was a Syrian political science professor, and his mother, Schieble, worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.

The infant was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and machinist. The family lived in Mountain View, California, within the area that would later become known as Silicon Valley. As a boy, Jobs and his father worked on electronics in the family garage. Paul showed his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby that instilled confidence, tenacity and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.
