Ed Catmull & John Lasseter (Pixar)
"Steve Jobs was an extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family. He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply 'make it great.' He is why Pixar turned out the way we did and his strength, integrity and love of life has made us all better people. He will forever be a part of Pixar’s DNA. Our hearts go out to his wife Laurene and their children during this incredibly difficult time."
Robert Iger (Disney)
"Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an "original," with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time."
Bill Gates (Microsoft)
"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 Ballmer (Microsoft)
"I want to express my deepest condolences at the passing of Steve Jobs, one of the founders of our industry and a true visionary. My heart goes out to his family, everyone at Apple and everyone who has been touched by his work."
Larry Page (Google)
"I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. 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. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family."
Sergey Brin (Google)
"From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met. On behalf of all of us at Google and more broadly in technology, you will be missed very much. My condolences to family, friends, and colleagues at Apple."
Barack Obama (US-Präsident)
"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 grownups 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."

"Chairman Steve Jobs introduced numerous revolutionary changes to the information technology industry and was a great entrepreneur. His innovative spirit and remarkable accomplishments will forever be remembered by people around the world."
Meg Whitman (HP CEO)
“Steve Jobs was an iconic entrepreneur and businessman whose impact on technology was felt beyond Silicon Valley. He will be remembered for the innovation he brought to market and the inspiration he brought to the world.”
Michael Bloomberg (Bürgermeister NYC)
"Tonight, America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come. Again and again over the last four decades, Steve Jobs saw the future and brought it to life long before most people could even see the horizon. And Steve's passionate belief in the power of technology to transform the way we live brought us more than smart phones and iPads: it brought knowledge and power that is reshaping the face of civilization. In New York City's government, everyone from street construction inspectors to NYPD detectives have harnessed Apple's products to do their jobs more efficiently and intuitively. Tonight our City – a city that has always had such respect and admiration for creative genius – joins with people around the planet in remembering a great man and keeping Laurene and the rest of the Jobs family in our thoughts and prayers."
Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook CEO)
"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."
Jerry Yang (Yahoo)
"Steve was my hero growing up. He not only gave me a lot of personal advice and encouragement, he showed all of us how innovation can change lives.I will miss him dearly, as will the world."
Sir James Dyson (Dyson)
"He was dubbed a megalomaniac, but Steve Jobs often gambled on young, largely inexperienced talent to take Apple forward; Jony Ive and his team prove that such faith was spot on. "
Rupert Murdoch (News Corp.)
"Today, we lost one of the most influential thinkers, creators and entrepreneurs of all time. Steve Jobs was simply the greatest CEO of his generation. While I am deeply saddened by his passing, I'm reminded of the stunning impact he had in revolutionising the way people consume media and entertainment."
Michael Dell (Dell)
"Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder. The legacy of Steve Jobs will be remembered for generations to come."
Martin Willmann (Geschäftsführer mStore) (via PM)
"Jobs war ein Visionär, der mit seinen Entwicklungen das Leben vieler veränderte: Aus der Überzeugung heraus, dass die Menschheit einen Computer auch im Privatleben nutzen würde, erfand er den PC. Steve Jobs wusste vor allen anderen, dass grafische Benutzeroberflächen als nützlich empfunden werden würden. Er holte Apple aus dem finanziellen Tief und baute unter dem Motto "Think Different" nicht nur ein neues Unternehmen auf, sondern begründete durch seinen Mut und seinen Pioniergeist gleichsam einen neuen Lebensstil in einer zunehmend technisierten Welt. Mit iPod und iTunes veränderte er unsere Art, Musik zu erleben und revolutionierte mit dem iPhone den Markt der Mobiltelefone. Steve Jobs kreierte Dinge für Menschen, nicht für das Unternehmen. Und er hatte Erfolg damit. Sein Leben war Apple. Wir bedauern den Verlust eines so bedeutsamen Menschen! Das Team, das er in den vergangenen Jahren um sich aufgebaut hat, ist von seinem Erfindergeist geprägt. Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass Apple Steve Jobs’ Visionen weiterführen wird."
Sean Plott (Day9TV)
"Just heard about Steve Jobs. Such a poignant moment when the wikipedia description changes from "is" to "was." RIP to a great mind."
Limp Bizkit
"RIP Steve Jobs! True visionary"
Greenpeace International
"Worthy opponent, valuable ally in the fight to green the tech industry. RIP Steve Jobs."
Shantanu Narayen (CEO Adobe Systems)
"Steve was a unique visionary and his influence as a technology innovator will be sorely missed. This is a sad day for the entire industry, and we offer our deepest sympathy to his family."
