A short message on a special page on Apple's website confirmed that Silicon Valley icon and Tech visionary Steve Jobs has passed away. The short note, posted as an image notes:

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. 

I can vouch to Steve Jobs being an inspiring mentor for all of us in Silicon Valley.
