　　以下是聲明原文：

　　Statement from Bill 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. "

　　Statement from Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and 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."

　　Statement from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen:

　　"My condolences to Steve Jobs family and friends. We've lost a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products."

　　Statement from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:

　　"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 smartphones 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."
