The CEO of Apple was without a doubt the biggest genius of the last decade. He passed away after suffering from pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 over the night of 6 October. Social networks such as facebook and twitter have overflooded with 2.0 tributes

In a promotional video from 1997, Apple defined ‘genius’ as being ‘the ones who are crazy enough to change the world - and the ones who do’. Images of the likes of Picasso, Hitchcock, Muhammed Ali and Gandhi provide a backdrop to the all-American voiceover.

From twitter, we’ve popped a short ‘timeline’ of the day’s reaction from European medias:

Je viens du sud de la France. J'aime les traditions. Mon père a été traumatisé par Séville 82 contre les Allemands au foot. J'ai du mal avec les Anglais au rugby. J'adore le jambon-beurre. Je n'ai jamais fait Erasmus. Autant vous dire que c'était mal barré. Et pourtant, je suis rédacteur en chef du meilleur magazine sur l'Europe du monde.
