Celebrities React to Steve Jobs' Death

Bill Gates:

"I'm truly saddened to hear 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... 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."


Mark Zuckerberg:

"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."

 President Barack Obama:

"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."
