Apple paid tribute to its late co-founder Steve Jobs on the 10th anniversary of his death with a homepage takeover on Tuesday. The presentation includes a video that highlights his vision and showmanship, as well as a statement from his family. Jobs died on Oct. 5, 2011, at the age of 56, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Since then, the iPhone, Mac and iPad have been vital in making Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world. Apple included a statement from Jobs' family, talking about his legacy. "One of our greatest sources of consolation has been our association of Steve with beauty," his family's statement reads. "The sight of something beautiful -- a wooded hillside, a well‑made object -- recalls his spirit to us. Even in his years of suffering, he never lost his faith in the beauty of existence."
Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, spoke to CNET about his work with Jobs. “You can’t be following the rules and making amazing things happen. Steve was certainly exceptional in that regard,” Dell says. Tim Cook, Jobs’ successor as CEO, shared his thoughts with Apple employees via a companywide memo, obtained by Bloomberg. “[Steve] challenged us to see the world not for what it was, but for what it could be,” Cook writes. “I feel so lucky that we spend our days creating wildly innovative tools that connect people, inspire them to think differently, and empower them to make their own dent in the universe, too.”
