“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice." - Steve Jobs

Fantastic advice. No one will ever die unhappy that they took their own path.

Terribly sad to have to say goodbye to Steve. Thanks Steve, for all your ideas, for your drive to make great computers, and for your attention to detail.

Statement by Apple’s Board of Directors

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.
