Steve Jobs remembered in
tributes around the world
Flowers, candles
left outside
Apple stores in
rememberance
Steve Jobs was grieved around
the world yesterday through the
very devices he conceived: People
held up pictures of candles on
their iPads, reviewed his life on
Macintosh computers and tapped
out tributes on iPhones.
One day after his death, two
days after Apple introduced the
latest incarnation of a touch-
screen phone that touched pop
culture, sadness and admiration
poured out - not for a rock star,
not for a religious figure, but for an
Americancorporate executive.
By people who have grown
up in a world where iPod head-
phones are as ubiquitous as
wristwatches were to a previous
generation, Jobs was remem-
bered as their Elvis Presley or
John Lennon. Perhaps even their
Thomas Edison.
"It's like the end of the innova-
tors," said Scott Robbins, 34, who
described himself as an Apple fan
of 20 years and who rushed to
an Apple Store in San Francisco
when he heard the news.
Apple announced Jobs' death
Wednesday night and remem-
bered him as a "visionary and
creative genius." The company
announced no cause of death, but
Jobs had been diagnosed with
a rare pancreatic cancer seven
years ago and had a liver trans-
plant in 2009. He was 56.
Yesterday, the Apple website,
which usually features slick pre-
sentations of multicolored iPods
and ever-thinner MacBook lap-
top computers, simply displayed
a black-and-white photo of Jobs,
thumb and finger to his beard as
if in contemplation.
Around the world, tributes
sprang up of the highest and low-
est technology.
In the Ginza shopping district
of Tokyo, people held up iPhones
and iPads, their screens facing
outward and displaying sharply
defined, touchable graphics of
flickeringcandles.
At an Apple Store in Hong
Kong, old and new means of grief
came together: People scribbled
"RIP" and "We miss Steve" and
longer notes of condolence on
Post-It notes, and stuck them to
an iPad display.
And at the 24-hour Apple
Store inmidtown Manhattan, the
remembrances were more tradi-
tional. Passersby left flowers and
candles, actual ones. Even there,
people snapped pictures of the
memorial with their iPhones.
"I was so saddened. For me it
was like MichaelJacksonorPrin-
cess Diana - that magnitude,"
Stephen Jarjoura said at the
Apple Store in Sydney. His said
Jobs left a legacy to rival Edison
and Albert Einstein.
Philippe Meunier, a senior
partner of a Canadian ad agency
who was visiting New York from
Montreal, reflected on how weird
it was to receive the news of Jobs'
death on the phone he invented.
In a measure of his impact on
personal technology, Jobs was
venerated byhis fiercestcompeti-
tors in the hours after his death.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of
Microsoft, a company that Apple
once treated as Goliath to its
David, then blew past in market
value, said it was "an insanely
great honor" to have known Jobs.
A statement of grief came from
Sony, whose Walkman and Disc-
man were buried by the iPod.
Google added a link to the
Apple site on its famously mini-
malist search page. Mark Zuck-
erberg, the founder of Facebook,
thanked him for changing the
world.
To the extent that there is an
online version of the old-time
public square, it was overrun
Thursday by remembrances of
Jobs.

Elizabeth Warren speaks in Lowell, Mass. Tuesday, Oct. 4 during a debate between six Massachusetts Democratic
candidates for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Scott Brown.
Sen. Scott Brown criticized
for commen on nude photo
Romney, Perry try to recruit
Christie, Palm supporters
Leading candidates
seek donor
contributions
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rivals
Rick Perry and Mitt Romney are
furiously scurrying to recruit
heartbroken holdouts who had
hoped GOP celebrities Chris
Christie or Sarah Palin would
join the Republican presidential
contest.
With a slew of donors and
activists now up for grabs, the
leading two Republican candi-
dates redoubled their efforts
- and made personal appeals -
this week to win over unaligned
high-dollar and high-power GOP
players in what's become largely
a two-man nomination fight.
"We're at a point when the
large group of undecided activ-
ists are going to choose their
candidate," said Jennifer Horn,
a conservative activist in New
Hampshire who hasn't picked a
contender. "People are starting
to accept the field and accept that
these are our choices. It's time
to get behind someone who is a
candidate, someone who is run-
ning."
Romney, who essentially has
been running for president for
five years, spent a chunk of the
week calling fundraisers and
activists anew who have long sat
on the sidelines; the former Mas-
sachusetts governor hoped they
would finally decide to back him.
Perry, who entered the race just
seven weeks ago, was working
to make up quickly for lost time;
the Texas governor hoped that
new supporters would give his
campaign a lift after a few rocky
weeks.
Both proved persuasive - to a
point.
Home Depot co-founder Ken
Langone, a Christie backer,
quickly joined Romney's team.
So, too, did billionaire supermar-
ket executive John Catsimatidis
and hedge-fund giant Paul Sing-
er. Romney was trading friendly
emails with the three even as
they were publicly calling for
Christie to join the race. Former
Republican National Committee
Chairman Jim Nicholson also
said he would back Romney in
the wake of Christie's exit.
Warren says she
didn't take her
clothes off to pay
college tuition
BOSTON (AP) - U.S. Sen. Scott
Brown took a jab at Democratic
rival Elizabeth Warren during a
radio interview yesterday, say-
ing "Thank God" she didn't take
her clothes off to help pay for col-
lege. His remark came two days
after a debate in which Warren
referred to his nude Cosmopolitan
magazine centerfold from his law-
school days.
Democratic Party officials
immediately branded Brown's
comment as sexist and more suit-
able to a "frat house, not a race for
U.S. Senate." Warren said she'd
survive a jab from Brown.
The Massachusetts Republi-
can made the remark yesterday
morning during an interview on
WZLX-FM when asked to respond
to a comment by Warren during a
Democratic primary debate Tues-
day night.
Warren and the five other
Democratic candidates hoping
for a chance to challenge Brown
during next year's election were
asked how they paid for their col-
lege educations. The questioner
noted that while Brown was in law
school, the future senator posed
nude for Cosmopolitan in a photo
spread with a strategically placed
centerfold crease.
Warren responded in part by
saying "I kept my clothes on." She
went on to say that she took out
student loans, opted for a public
university and held a part time job
to cover her bills.
During Brown's interview on
the classic rock station, one of
the hosts asked him to respond to
Warren's comment that she kept
her clothes on.
Brown laughed and said
"Thank God." The host laughed
along with him.
The freshman senator also
defended his decision to pose for
the magazine, saying modeling
was his best opportunity to pay for
school.
"I didn't go to Harvard, I went
to the school of hard knocks and I
did whatever I had to do to pay for
school," Brown said, pointing to a
difficult upbringing and his par-
ents' multiple divorces.
Brown attended Tufts Uni-
versity and Boston College Law
School, both private universities.
Warren, a Harvard law professor
and consumer advocate, attended
the University of Houston and
received a law degree from Rut-
gers University, both of which are
public schools.
"Let them throw stones. I did
what I had to do," Brown added.
"But not for having that opportu-
nity I never would have been able
to pay for school."
Warren, speaking to reporters
Thursday afternoon, tried to take
Brown's remark in stride.
"I'll survive a few jabs from
Scott Brown over my appearance,"
she said.
She also denied trying to take a
jab at him during the debate.
"I answered a question about
how I paid for college," she said. "I
worked a lot of part-time jobs and
actually one full-time job."
Massachusetts Democratic
Party Executive Director Clare
Kelly labeled Brown's comments
"mudslinging" and said they "are
the kind of thing you would expect
to hear in a frat house, not a race
for U.S. Senate."
"Scott Brown's comments
send a terrible message that even
accomplished women who are
held in the highest esteem can be
laughingly dismissed based on
their looks," Kelly said.
Brown's campaign manager,
Jim Barnett, responded by trying
to cast Warren as an "elitist"
"It's elitist of Professor War-
ren to look down at the decisions
Scott Brown made to put himself
through college and rise above the
circumstances of his life," Barnett
wrote in an email after Brown's
radio interview. "Scott has fought
and scraped for everything he's
got."
Warren has emerged as an
early frontrunner in the Demo-
cratic primary race.
A recent UMass Lowell-Bos-
ton Herald poll showed Brown
getting 41percent ofthe vote and
Warren receiving 38 percent,
within the poll's margin of error.
Warren also was the strong
favorite of the six Democratic
candidates when pollsters sur-
veyed potential Democratic
primary voters. She garnered 36
percent of the vote while none
of the other five got more than
5 percent.
The poll surveyed 1,005 reg-
istered voters in Massachusetts
by landline and cell phone from
Sept. 22-28. The margin of error
was 3.8 percentage points, high-
er for smaller samples such as
potential Democratic primary
voters.
The other Democrats in the
race include City Year youth
program co-founder Alan
Khazei; immigration attorney
Marisa DeFranco; state Rep.
Tom Conroy; Newton resident
Herb Robinson; and Robert
Massie, a self-described "social
justice advocate" who ran
unsuccessfully for lieutenant
governor in 1994.
