Le monde de la technologie vient de perdre un grand visionnaire. Après une lutte acharnée contre le cancer, Steve Jobs vient de rendre l’âme.
Inutile de dire que nous sommes tous secoués par la nouvelle. On s’y attendait, bien sûr, mais subsistait tout de même l’espoir que sa santé s’améliore. Qu’un One More Thing, comme ceux auxquels il nous a habitués, soit annoncé. Qu’un an, cinq ans ou peut-être même dix ans s’ajoutent à la vie de celui qui aura marqué de sa vision le monde de l’informatique et des technologies en général.
Nous devons tous nous souvenir de ce grand homme. C’était un réel visionnaire. Il a révolutionné le monde des ordinateurs avec le Mac, l’industrie de la musique avec iTunes et l’iPod et celle de la téléphonie avec l’iPhone. Nous lui devons plusieurs avancées technologiques.
La famille de Steve Jobs:
Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.
In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.
We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.
Le mémo interne de Tim Cook à la compagnie:
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[email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
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.

Bill Gates et Melinda Gates
I’m truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs’ death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work.
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.
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.
For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.
Steve Jobs s’est éteint paisiblement, entouré des ses proches.
