“I really have reverence for Steve Jobs,” said the 30-something employee of a start-up in the hip district of Manhattan, after making the ad hoc tribute to the Apple founder.He was the definition of innovation to me. Every product he made just had — it was just that much more than the next person’s product.
“That’s what did it for me,”
He first heard the news via Twitter. “At first I didn’t believe it because of the rumours a few weeks ago that he died. That turned out to be false. So I said no way. I looked deeper into Twitter and I found out it was in fact true.”
The story was similar on the other side of the country in Los Angeles — and around the world, as Apple fans woke up to the news in different time zones.Emerging from the store, Penelope Juniper, 21, added: “I knew from Twitter.
