Het nieuws dat Steve Jobs is overleden komt hard aan in de technologiewereld. Zo ook bij Google waar met veel respect wordt gesproken over de mede-oprichter van Apple. Zo noemt Google-topman Larry Page Jobs een inspiratie en prijst mede-oprichter Sergey Brin de passie van Steve Jobs voor zijn producten. Eric Schmidt beschijft Jobs als een van de grote Amerikaanse leiders en bewondert de manier waarop de Apple-topman een buitengewoon bedrijf heeft opgebouwd.

Larry Page
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
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.
Eric Schmidt
Steve Jobs is the most successful CEO in the U.S. of the last 25 years. He uniquely combined an artists touch and an engineers vision to build an extraordinary company… one of the greatest American leaders in history.
