Google Inc. Chief Executive Larry Page posted Wednesday on his Google+ account about the death of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs:

'I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazingbrilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family.'
