TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) chairman Morris Chang and Acer founder Stan Shih both have paid tribute to former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "We have lost a true visionary, and we will miss Steve immensely," Chang said.
"Steve has completely changed the aspects of personal computers and has also redefined the shape of mobile computing devices," Chang added.
Shih also expressed his deepest grief toward the death of Jobs, stating the Jobs has dedicated his life to the popularity of information products, including the introduction of Apple II in the 1980s and Macintosh in the 1990s, which led to the launch of Windows PCs.
Although many innovative products launched by Apple under the auspices of Jobs have brought new and strong impact to the ICT industry, Apple's brand new business models have also allowed more stakeholders to join the bandwagon and share interests, Shih stated.
