But, the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs on Wednesday has moved Ashton to end his virtual moratorium.

Kutcher, a big advocate of advancing technology and social media, was clearly broken up over Jobs' death. He Tweeted:

  • "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." - #SteveJobs


  • "Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life." -- Steve Jobs


  • I never thought I could be so busted up about the loss of someone I never met. #stevejobs


  • We have all surfed on the wake of Steve Jobs ship. Now we must learn to sail, but we will never forget our skipper.


  • Sending love & light to everyone @Apple & the entire Jobs family.Today we lost a Giant who will be missed even by those who didn't know him.


  • Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. - Steve Jobs RIP


Demi Moore, who has also remained relatively (and unusually) quiet on Twitter, has not commented on Jobs' passing.
