The phrase "end of an era" is often overused, but today, it perfectly captures the shock and sadness of learning that an icon and genius has passed away at age 56.
Steve Jobs is dead.
It's still hard to believe.
Like many Pinoy netizens, I found out about the shocking news first on Twitter, and as you might expect RIP Steve Jobs is currently the number one Trending Topic. People have also been tweeting that he is now in iHeaven, which explains why this is also one of the top Trending Topics.
Apple's homepage now shows its legendary co-founder's photo, linking to this page where the company is encouraging people to share their thoughts , memories and condolences to rememberingsteve@apple.com
It's a testament to his genius that the death of Steve Jobs transcends the world of technology. He made technology cool, and allowed people from all over the world to accept and embrace it as part of their lives. It was OK to be geeks, and the geeks and the cool kids could be one and the same.
On the Yahoo! Philippines Twitter account @yahooph, we asked Yahoo! Philippines readers to share their thoughts about his life and death.
