Steve Jobs 1955-2011（圖片取自 www.apple.com.tw 網站）
雖然早知這一天即將來到，仍不免心中惆悵。網路流傳影響世界的3顆蘋果（一說4個蘋果），分別是亞當夏娃的蘋果，牛頓的蘋果，以及Steve Jobs 的蘋果。前兩顆未能躬逢其盛，第三顆則是在個人成長過程中，看著它在Steve Jobs 照料下從誕生到茁壯，也看著Steve Jobs從一頭濃髮的帥哥變成與史恩康那來並駕齊驅的性格模樣，一路走來，精彩如一。
在教學過程中，常以蘋果公司的案例當作教材，也以其精彩絕倫的簡報與行銷手法與對美學的要求當作典範，更以其多采多姿的生涯激勵學生。今日，Steve Jobs 人生劃上句點，留給世人評價多矣，謹此，引用 一些名人對其的評價，向不世出的天才 Steve Jobs致敬：

Steve Jobs – ‘…mind of an engineer and the heart of an artist…’
Larry Ellison (June 2004): Steve Jobs is the most brilliant person in our industry, and what is most remarkable about Steve, I think, is his incredible aesthetic sense. He has the mind of an engineer and the heart of an artist —that's a very unusual combination, an enormous advantage when you do consumer products. Look at the iPod...I think the iPod is a beautiful design and I think the iMac is a brilliant design. He's done a tremendous amount of innovation on the integration of hardware design and software design.
Bill Gates (May 2007): …We build the products that we want to use ourselves. And so he’s [Steve Jobs] really pursued that with incredible taste and elegance that has had a huge impact on the industry. And his ability to always come around and figure out where that next bet should be has been phenomenal. Apple literally was failing when Steve went back and re-infused the innovation and risk- taking that have been phenomenal.
