In case you haven’t been on the Internet for the past 12 or so hours, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died at age 56, losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. So while confused teenagers on Facebook typed on their Macs about their complete lack of knowledge as to who Steve Jobs is (aaaaaand we have irony), celebrities have been sending their sympathies to his family. From RadarOnline:
Bill Gates: “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with Steve, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Steve lived the California Dream every day of his life and he changed the world and inspired all of us. #ThankYouSteve”
Katie Couric: “Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. You’ve changed forever the world you leave behind.”
Paris Hilton: “So sad to hear about Steve Jobs. He was a genius and one of the most innovative people on earth. He changed the world in so many ways. RIP.”
Ashton Kutcher: “We have all surfed on the wake of Steve Jobs ship. Now we must learn to sail, but we will never forget our skipper.”
LeAnn Rimes: “RIP Steve Jobs…..what an innovator. This world will miss him.”
Ricky Martin: “Where is the excitement gonna come from. We won’t see another you in this lifetime. Thank you for everything Steve! :o(”
Jane Lynch: “We will miss you, Steve Jobs. Sent lovingly from my iPhone.”
Neil Patrick Harris: “Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. Your genius will live on for generations to come…”
Eva Longoria: “My heart goes out for the family of Steve Jobs. What an inspiration he was to us all and a creative visionary for the world! You will be missed.”
And my personal favorite:
Dave Holmes: In his final act of benevolent genius, Steve Jobs overshadows Sarah Palin. Rest in peace, you fucking stud.
