Ucapan Memperingati Steve Jobs Dari Rakan-Rakan

Salam 1Malaysia,


Rasanya macam, seluruh dunia teknologi merasai kehilangan Steve Jobs akibat dari penyakit kanser pankreas nya. Ikuti beberapa ucapan dari rakan-rakan se-industri dan juga antara pemimpin ternama dunia. 

Juga diselitkan petikan e-mail dari CEO Apple Inc., Tim Cook kepada pekerja-pekerja Apple Inc.

"Team,
I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.  

We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.

Dari Mark Zuckerberg, CEO Facebook.

"Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.

Co-founder dan juga Chairman Microsoft Corp, Bill Gates juga tidak ketinggalan untuk mengucapkan kata-kata terakhirnya kepada Jobs.

"For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.

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.

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.

I'm truly saddened to learn of (his) death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work.

Ucapan dari Presiden Amerika Syarika, Barack Obama.

"Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it.

By building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grown-ups alike.

Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: He changed the way each of us sees the world.

The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's wife, Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.

Rakan seperjuangan Jobs, Steve Wozniak yang juga merupakan Co-Founder Apple.

"People sometimes have goals in life. Steve Jobs exceeded every goal he set himself.

Larry Page, CEO Google.

"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.

Semoga Apple dapat meneruskan kehebatan yang dipamerkan oleh Steve Jobs sepanjang hayat beliau.
