The flags are flying at half-staff at Apple Inc.’s Silicon Valley headquarters. Makeshift memorials are cropping up outside Apple stores across the country. Google is paying homage on its home page. And millions are turning to social media to make sense of their loss following the death of tech guru Steve Jobs at the age of 56.
