昨天世界各大媒體的新聞頭條大概免不了都是蘋果(Apple Inc.)發表了iPhone 4S。
今天則無疑是蘋果創辦人Steve Jobs不幸因病辭世。
根據CNN與紐約時報等美國主要媒體報導,蘋果公司在週三對外宣佈了這則消息。
Steven P. Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then led a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died Wednesday. He was 56.
The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage.
這或許是蘋果公司所宣佈過最令人震撼的消息。
蘋果官網首頁即刻改為紀念Steve Jobs的黑白肖像頁面。
如果用Google去搜尋Steve Jobs的相關新聞,不難發現搜尋結果最上方新增了一段媒體即時引言的區塊。
甚至連MLB(美國職棒大聯盟)都宣佈暫時中止正打得如火如荼的MLB季後賽,以紀念Steve Jobs的辭世。
We pause as our postseason plays out to celebrate Steve Jobs' life, honoring his brilliant, amazing legacy and wishing his family peace.

看了一下家裡跟辦公室都是Mac系列筆電跟iPhone系列的手機...
我只能說...希望Apple能夠越來越好
不要辜負了Jobs一手建起來的風光偉業
(默哀中...)
Apple向來都是一個絕佳範例
可以用來對世人昭示
要做好設計
擁有一位有智識有遠見的老闆是最重要的
而現在我們也要驗證
即使這位有智識有遠見的老闆不在了
Apple是不是會像他們官網上說的「his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple」
