People are paying their respects to Jobs across the world:

In Chicago, Zack Martin bought a set of tea lights and arranged them in line in front of an Apple store next to a small bouquet that had been left by someone else. “I’m a computer programmer because of Steve,” said the 23-year-old, after kneeling to light the candles one after another.

Similar scenes unfolded in Asia. In Tokyo, Kazuho Asano, 35, was passing the Apple store in the Ginza shopping district when he paused to take a photo of the store with his iPhone. “There’s no one else like him,” Mr. Asano, a designer, said of Mr. Jobs. “He was a huge force.”

Michael Li, meanwhile, stood outside Beijing’s Apple Store, head bowed and teary-eyed. “We all knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make it any less painful,” said the 30-year-old Beijing native.

His wife, 29-year-old Wang Xi, bought lilacs for her husband to place at the door. The card read: “Thanks, Steve!”

Incredible. He is an inspiration to so many people, all over the world.
