Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, helped popularize the personal computer in the late '70s. A personal computer ( PC) is any Computer whose original sales price size and capabilities make it useful for individuals and which is intended to be operated In the early '80s, still at Apple, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Biography

Early years

Jobs was born in San Francisco^[1] and was adopted by Justin and Clara (née Hagopian) Jobs of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California who named him Steven Paul.

His biological parents, Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali — a graduate student from Syria who became a political science professor^[11] — later married and gave birth to Jobs' sister, the novelist Mona Simpson. Syria ( سوريّة or) officially the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic ar الجمهورية العربية السورية Mona Simpson (born Mona Jandali, June 14, 1957 in Green Bay Wisconsin) is a Novelist and essayist

Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High School and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California,^[9] and frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California. Homestead High School (HHS is an American comprehensive High school serving western Cupertino, western Sunnyvale, and portions of southern Cupertino (ˌkuːpɚˈtiːnoʊ is a Suburban city in Santa Clara County, California, U Palo Alto (ˌpæloʊˈæltoʊ from Spanish: palo: "stick" and alto: "high" i He was soon hired there and worked with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee. ^[12] In 1972, Jobs graduated from high school and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Reed College is a private, independent Liberal arts college located in southeast Portland Oregon. Portland is a city located in the Northwestern United States, near the Confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers Oregon ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Although he dropped out after only one semester,^[13] he continued auditing classes at Reed, such as one in calligraphy.

In the autumn of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Wozniak. The Homebrew Computer Club was an early Computer Hobbyist club in Silicon Valley, which met (under that name from March 1975 to roughly 1977 ^[15] He took a job as a technician at Atari, a manufacturer of popular video games, with the primary intent of saving money for a spiritual retreat to India. Atari is a corporate and brand name owned by several entities since its inception in 1972. A video game is a Game that involves interaction with a User interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country

Jobs then backpacked around India with a Reed College friend (and, later, the first Apple employee), Daniel Kottke, in search of philosophical enlightenment. Daniel Kottke, born April 4th 1954 in Bronxville New York is a U He came back with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. During this time, Jobs experimented with LSD, calling these experiences "one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life. "^[16] He has stated that people around him who did not share his countercultural roots could not understand certain aspects of his thinking. ^[16]

He returned to his previous job at Atari and was given the task of creating a circuit board for the game Breakout. A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect Electronic components using conductive pathways or traces According to Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari had offered US$100 for each chip that was reduced in the machine. Nolan K Bushnell (born February 5, 1943) is an American electrical Engineer and Entrepreneur who founded both Atari Inc The United States dollar ( sign: $; code: USD) is the unit of Currency of the United States; it has also been Jobs had little interest or knowledge in circuit board design and made a deal with Wozniak to split the bonus evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. At the time, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari had only given them US$600 (instead of the actual US$5000) and that Wozniak's share was thus US$300. ^{[17][18][19][20][21][22]}

As Apple continued to expand, the company began looking for an experienced executive to help manage its expansion. If you would like to experiment with Wikipedia please copy 1975-1984 Jobs and Woz Pre-foundation Before Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple he was an electronics hacker In 1983, Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola, to serve as Apple's CEO, challenging him, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?"^[23][24] The following year, Apple set out to do just that, starting with a Super Bowl television commercial titled, "1984. John Sculley (born April 6 1939) is an American businessman Sculley was vice-president (1970-1977 and president of PepsiCo (1977-1983 until Pepsi-Cola is a carbonated beverage that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. professional American football, the Super Bowl is the Championship game of the National Football League (NFL 1984 is the American Television commercial which introduced the Macintosh Personal computer for the first time " Two days later at Apple's annual shareholders meeting on January 24, 1984, an emotional Jobs introduced the Macintosh to a wildly enthusiastic audience; Andy Hertzfeld described the scene as "pandemonium. Events 41 - Gaius Caesar (Caligula, known for his eccentricity and cruel Despotism, is Assassinated by his disgruntled Year 1984 ( MCMLXXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1984 Gregorian calendar) Macintosh, commonly nicknamed Mac is a Brand name which covers several lines of Personal computers designed developed and marketed by Apple Inc Andy Hertzfeld (born April 6, 1953) was a key member of the original Apple Macintosh development team "^[25] The Macintosh became the first commercially successful computer with a graphical user interface, although it was heavily influenced by Xerox PARC. PARC (Palo Alto Research Center Inc formerly Xerox PARC, is a Research and development company in Palo Alto California that began as a division of The development of the Mac was started by Jef Raskin, and eventually taken over by Jobs. Jef Raskin ( March 9, 1943 &ndash February 26, 2005) was an American Human-computer interface expert best-known for starting

While Jobs was a persuasive and charismatic dictator for Apple, some of his employees from that time had described him as an erratic and tempestuous manager. An industry-wide sales slump towards the end of 1984 caused a deterioration in Jobs' working relationship with Sculley, and at the end of May 1985 – following an internal power struggle and an announcement of significant layoffs – Sculley relieved Jobs of his duties as head of the Macintosh division. ^[26]

Around the same time, Jobs founded another computer company, NeXT Computer. NeXT Computer Inc (later NeXT Software Inc) was an American Computer company headquartered in Redwood City, California that Like the Apple Lisa, the NeXT workstation was technologically advanced, but was never able to break into the mainstream mainly owing to its high cost. For the MOS 6502 assembler for Apple II computers see Lisa assembler. Among those who could afford it, however, the NeXT workstation garnered a strong following because of its technical strengths, chief among them its object-oriented software development system. Object-oriented programming (OOP is a Programming paradigm that uses " objects " and their interactions to design applications and computer programs Jobs marketed NeXT products to the scientific and academic fields because of the innovative, experimental new technologies it incorporated (such as the Mach kernel, the digital signal processor chip, and the built-in Ethernet port). Mach is an Operating system Microkernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University to support operating system research primarily distributed and parallel A digital signal processor ( DSP or DSP micro) is a specialized Microprocessor designed specifically for Digital signal processing, generally Ethernet is a family of frame -based Computer networking technologies for Local area networks (LANs

The NeXT Cube was described by Jobs as an "interpersonal" computer, which he believed was the next step after "personal" computing. That is, if computers could allow people to communicate and collaborate together in an easy way, it would solve a lot of the problems that "personal" computing had come up against. During a time when e-mail for most people was plain text, Jobs loved to demo the NeXT's e-mail system, NeXTMail, as an example of his "interpersonal" philosophy. NeXTMail was one of the first E-mail systems to support universally visible clickable embedded graphics and audio within e-mail NeXTMail was one of the first to support universally visible, clickable embedded graphics and audio within e-mail.

Jobs ran NeXT with an obsession for aesthetic perfection, as evidenced by such things as the NeXTcube's magnesium case. This put considerable strain on NeXT's hardware division, and in 1993, after having sold only 50,000 machines, NeXT transitioned fully to software development with the release of NeXTSTEP/Intel. Nextstep was the original object-oriented, multitasking Operating system that NeXT Computer developed to run on its range of proprietary computers

NeXT technology played a large role in catalyzing three unrelated events:

• The World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee developed the original World Wide Web system at CERN on a NeXT workstation. Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA (born 8 June 1955 is an English computer scientist who is credited The World Wide Web (commonly shortened to the Web) is a system of interlinked Hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire known as CERN NeXT Computer Inc (later NeXT Software Inc) was an American Computer company headquartered in Redwood City, California that Jean-Marie Hullot's 'SOS Interface' became the basic for Interface Builder which Hullot built for NeXT and which Berners-Lee also used in his project the program 'WorldWideWeb'. Jean-Marie Hullot (born 1954-02-16) is a French computer scientist and programmer who authored important programs for the original Macintosh, NeXTSTEP Interface Builder is a Software development application for Apple's Mac OS X Operating system.
• NeXT computers were used in the development of the computer game Doom and later the series "Quake". A personal computer Game (also known as a computer game or simply PC game) is a Video game played on a Personal computer, rather Doom (officially cased DOOM) is a 1993 Computer game by Id Software that is a landmark title in the First-person shooter Quake is a First-person shooter Computer game that was released by Id Software on June 22, 1996. ^[27]
• The return of Apple Computer. Apple's reliance on outdated software and internal mismanagement, particularly its inability to release a major operating system upgrade, had brought it near bankruptcy in the early-to-mid 1990s. Jobs' progressive stance on Unix and open source underpinnings was considered overly ambitious and somewhat backward in the 1980s but ultimately became an expandable solid foundation for an operating system. Unix (officially trademarked as UNIX, sometimes also written as Unix with Small caps) is a computer Open source is a development methodology which offers practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge Apple would later acquire this software and under Jobs' leadership experience a renaissance.

In 1996, Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for US$429 million. Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics NeXT Computer Inc (later NeXT Software Inc) was an American Computer company headquartered in Redwood City, California that The deal was finalized in late 1996,^[28] bringing Jobs back to the company he founded. He soon became Apple's interim CEO after the directors lost confidence in and ousted then-CEO Gil Amelio in a boardroom coup. Gilbert F Amelio (born March 1, 1943 in New York City) is an American technology executive A boardroom coup is the sudden overthrow of the management or governing body of a Corporation by an individual or small group of individuals usually from within the company In March of 1998, in order to concentrate Apple's efforts on returning to profitability, Jobs immediately terminated a number of projects such as Newton, Cyberdog, and OpenDoc. The Apple Newton, or simply Newton, is the IPhone 's predecessor and was an early line of Personal digital assistants developed and marketed by Cyberdog is an Internet suite that was developed by Apple Computer for the Mac OS line of Operating systems It was introduced as a OpenDoc was a multi-platform Software componentry framework standard for Compound documents inspired by the Xerox Star system and intended as an alternative In the coming months, many employees developed a fear of encountering Jobs while riding in the elevator, "afraid that they might not have a job when the doors opened. The reality was that Jobs's summary executions were rare, but a handful of victims was enough to terrorize a whole company. "^[29]

With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products, notably NeXTSTEP, which evolved into Mac OS X. Nextstep was the original object-oriented, multitasking Operating system that NeXT Computer developed to run on its range of proprietary computers Mac OS X (mæk oʊ ɛs tɛn is a line of computer Operating systems developed marketed and sold by Apple Inc, the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently Under Jobs's guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products; since then, appealing designs and powerful branding have worked well for Apple. The iMac is a desktop Macintosh computer designed and built by Apple Inc At the 2000 Macworld Expo, Jobs officially dropped the "interim" modifier from his title at Apple and became permanent CEO.

In recent years, the company has branched out, introducing and improving upon other digital appliances. With the introduction of the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iTunes Store, the company made forays into consumer electronics and music distribution. iPod is a popular brand of Portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc iTunes is a proprietary digital media player application introduced by Apple Inc The iTunes Store is a software-based online Digital media store operated by Apple Inc In 2007, Apple entered the cellular phone business with the introduction of the iPhone, a multi-touch display cell phone, iPod, and internet device. The iPhone is an internet-connected Multimedia Smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc iPod is a popular brand of Portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc While stimulating innovation, Jobs also reminds his employees that "real artists ship",^[30] by which he means that delivering working products on time is as important as innovation and attractive design.

Jobs works at Apple for an annual salary of US$1,^[3] and this earned him a listing in Guinness World Records as the "Lowest Paid Chief Executive Officer. Guinness World Records, known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records (and in previous U " His current salary at Apple officially remains US$1 per year, although he has traditionally been the recipient of a number of lucrative "executive gifts" from the board, including a US$46 million jet in 1999 and just under 30 million shares of restricted stock in 2000–2002. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout ^[31] As such, Jobs is well compensated for his efforts at Apple despite the nominal one-dollar salary. This approach reduces his personal tax liability because, under current U. S. tax law, salary income is taxed at a significantly higher rate (currently up to 35%) than the capital gains tax (currently a maximum of 15%) applied to profits arising from the sale of stock grants. Obtaining remuneration through stock instead of salary is a common extrinsic rewarding technique which ties management performance to financial benefits. Furthermore, it acts as a tax minimization strategy.

Jobs is both admired and criticized for his consummate skill at persuasion and salesmanship, which has been dubbed the "reality distortion field" and is particularly evident during his keynote speeches (colloquially known as "Stevenotes") at Macworld Expos and at Apple's own World Wide Developers Conferences. Reality distortion field is a term coined by Bud Tribble at Apple Inc Stevenote is a colloquial term for Keynote speeches by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, generally given at Apple events such as the Macworld Expo, Produced by Boston -based IDG World Expo, Macworld Conference & Expo is a trade show dedicated to the Apple Macintosh platform with conference tracks held

In 2005, Jobs responded to criticism of Apple's poor recycling programs for e-waste in the U. Electronic waste, " e-waste " or " Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment " (" WEEE " is a Waste type consisting S. by lashing out at environmental and other advocates at Apple's Annual Meeting in Cupertino in April. However, a few weeks later, Apple announced it would take back iPods for free at its retail stores. The Computer TakeBack Campaign responded by flying a banner from a plane over the Stanford University graduation at which Jobs was the commencement speaker. The Computer TakeBack Campaign is a Recycling initiative launched by Apple Inc. The banner read "Steve — Don't be a mini-player recycle all e-waste". In 2006 he further expanded Apple's recycling programs to any U. S. customer who buys a new Mac. This program includes shipping and "environmentally friendly disposal" of their old systems. ^[32]

Jobs began 2007 with Macworld Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Produced by Boston -based IDG World Expo, Macworld Conference & Expo is a trade show dedicated to the Apple Macintosh platform with conference tracks held The Moscone Center is the largest convention and exhibition complex in San Francisco California. He began the episodic keynote address by reviewing Apple's music business through iTunes music and video highlights, mentioning that rumors of the decline in Internet music business were false. Highlights included the long-awaited iPhone mobile device as well as the rebranding and official introduction of Apple TV.

Stock options issue

In 2001, Steve Jobs was granted stock options in the amount of 7,500,000 shares of Apple with an exercise price of US$18. 30, which allegedly should have been US$21. 10, thereby incurring taxable income of $20,000,000 that he did not report as income. Apple overstated its earnings by that same amount. If found liable, Jobs may face a number of criminal charges and civil penalties. Apple claimed that the options were originally granted at a special board meeting that may never have taken place. Furthermore, the investigation is focusing on false dating of the options resulting in a retroactive US$20 million increase in the exercise price. The case is the subject of active criminal and civil government investigations,^[33] though an independent internal Apple investigation completed on December 29, 2006 found that Jobs was unaware of these issues and that the options granted to him were returned without being exercised in 2003. Events 1170 - Thomas Becket: Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury is assassinated inside Canterbury Cathedral by followers of King Henry II Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ^[34]

Pixar and Disney

In 1986, Jobs bought The Graphics Group (later renamed Pixar) from Lucasfilm's computer graphics division for the price of US$10 million, US$5 million of which was given to the company as capital. Pixar Animation Studios is a CGI animation production company based in Emeryville California. Lucasfilm Limited' is an American Film production company founded by George Lucas in 1971, based in San Francisco California ^[35] The major cause of the low purchase price was George Lucas' need to finance his 1983 divorce without significantly reducing his stock and control of the Star Wars enterprises. George Walton Lucas Jr (born May 14, 1944) is an Academy Award -winning American Film director, producer, Screenwriter

The new company, which was originally based in San Rafael, California, has since relocated to Emeryville, California, contracted with Disney to produce a number of computer-animated feature films, which Disney would co-finance and distribute.

Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-generated Comedy film, directed by John Lasseter and starring Tom Hanks Over the next ten years, under Pixar's creative chief John Lasseter, the company would produce the box-office hits A Bug's Life (1998), Toy Story 2 (1999), Monsters, Inc.

The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature is one of the annual Awards given by the Los Angeles -based professional organization the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and In the years 2003 and 2004, as Pixar's contract with Disney was running out, Jobs and Disney chief executive Michael Eisner tried but failed to negotiate a new partnership, and in early 2004 Jobs announced that Pixar would seek a new partner to distribute its films once its contract with Disney expired. Michael Eisner (born March 7, 1942) was CEO of The Walt Disney Company from September 22, 1984 to September 30 Personal animosity between the two executives was largely blamed for the companies' failure to renew their partnership.

In October 2005, Bob Iger replaced Eisner at Disney, and Iger quickly worked to patch up relations with Jobs and Pixar. Robert A "Bob" Iger (born February 10 1951) is the head of The Walt Disney Company. On January 24, 2006, Jobs and Iger announced that Disney had agreed to purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth US$7. Events 41 - Gaius Caesar (Caligula, known for his eccentricity and cruel Despotism, is Assassinated by his disgruntled Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. 4 billion. Once the deal closed, Jobs became The Walt Disney Company's largest single shareholder with approximately 7% of the company's stock. ^[36] Jobs' holdings in Disney far exceed those of Eisner, who holds 1. 7%, and Disney family member Roy E. Disney, who holds about 1% of the company's stock and whose criticisms of Eisner included the soured Pixar relationship and accelerated his ousting. Roy Edward Disney KCSG (born January 10, 1930) was a longtime senior executive for The Walt Disney Company, which his father Roy Oliver Jobs joined the company's board of directors upon completion of the merger.

Jobs also helps oversee Disney and Pixar's combined animation businesses with a seat on a special six-man steering committee. One of the committee's first decisions was to discontinue the production of so-called "cheapquels" (cheap direct-to-video sequels). Many also see Jobs as a valuable and influential advisor to Iger and Disney on technology matters.

Management style

Much has been made of Jobs' aggressive and demanding personality. Fortune noted that he "is considered one of Silicon Valley's leading egomaniacs. Fortune is a Global Business Magazine published by Time Inc's Fortune|Money Group Egotism is the motivation to maintain and enhance favorable views of self "^[37] Commentaries on his temperamental style can be found in Mike Moritz’s The Little Kingdom, one of the few authorized biographies of Jobs; Jeffrey S. Michael Moritz (born Cardiff, Wales, 1954 is a Venture capitalist with Sequoia Capital in Menlo Park California in the The Little Kingdom is a book that documents Apple Computer. It was published in 1984 and written by Mike Moritz.

Simon.

In iCon: Steve Jobs the authors point out that Paul Jobs, his father by adoption, was also known for his aggressive side: "Paul was soon hired as a kind of strongarm man by a finance company that sought help collecting on auto loans — an early repo man. Both his bulk and his aggressive personality were well suited to this somewhat dangerous pursuit, and his mechanical bent enabled him to pick the locks of the cars he had to repossess and hot-wire them if necessary. Hotwiring is the process of bypassing an Automobile 's ignition interlock and thus starting it without the key. "

In the 1996 documentary Triumph of the Nerds, the reaction to Jobs' famous firing from Apple by CEO John Sculley and the Apple Board of Directors was discussed by various people:

“	The grandiose plans of what Macintosh was gonna be was just so far out of whack with the truth of what the product was doing. Triumph of the Nerds The Rise of Accidental Empires (1996 is a Documentary film written and hosted by Robert X John Sculley (born April 6 1939) is an American businessman Sculley was vice-president (1970-1977 and president of PepsiCo (1977-1983 until And the truth of what the product was doing was not horrible, it was salvageable. But the gap between the two was just so unthinkable that somebody had to do something, and that somebody was John Sculley.	”
—Chris Espinoza

“	The board had to make a choice and I said look, it's Steve's company, I was brought in here to help. Chris Espinosa is a senior employee of Apple Computer, officially employee number 8 If you want him to run it, that's fine by me. But we gotta at least decide what we're gonna do and everybody's got to get behind it … and ultimately after the board talked with Steve and talked with me, the decision was that we would go forward with my plans and Steve left.	”
—John Sculley

“	What can I say? I hired the wrong guy. John Sculley (born April 6 1939) is an American businessman Sculley was vice-president (1970-1977 and president of PepsiCo (1977-1983 until He destroyed everything I spent 10 years working for; starting with me, but that wasn't the saddest part. I would have gladly left Apple if Apple would have turned out like I wanted it to.	”
—Steve Jobs

“	People in the company had very mixed feelings about it, everyone had been terrorized by Steve Jobs at some point or another, and so there was a certain relief that the terrorist would be gone. And on the other hand I think there was incredible respect for Steve Jobs by the very same people, and we were all very worried what would happen to this company without the visionary, without the founder, without the charisma.	”
—Larry Tesler

“	He took it as a personal attack, started attacking Sculley, in which, you know, backed himself into a corner. Larry (formally Lawrence Gordon Tesler (born April 24, 1945) is a Computer scientist working in the field of Human-computer interaction Because he was sure that the board would support him and not Sculley … Apple never recovered from losing Steve; Steve was the heart and soul and driving force; it would be quite a different place today; they lost their soul.	”
—Andy Hertzfeld

Jobs has always aspired to position Apple and its products at the forefront of the information technology industry by foreseeing and setting trends, at least in terms of innovation and style. Andy Hertzfeld (born April 6, 1953) was a key member of the original Apple Macintosh development team He summed up that self-concept nicely at the end of his keynote speech at the Macworld Conference and Expo in January 2007 by quoting ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky^[38]:

“	There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. Produced by Boston -based IDG World Expo, Macworld Conference & Expo is a trade show dedicated to the Apple Macintosh platform with conference tracks held Wayne Douglas Gretzky, OC (born January 26 1961 is a retired Canadian professional Ice hockey player 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been. ' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will. "	”

One interviewer noted: "[H]is handshake was moderate, his hands felt bony and I was taken aback by his extremely narrow face, slight build, and noticeable shoulder bones through his shirt. Those aren't my impressions looking back in time through the prism of speculation since. That's what I thought then; that these weren't the features of a guy who'd been working out, or on a diet. They seemed far more severe. Sickly. " Apple explained his appearance by saying he had a "common bug" and was taking antibiotics. ^[55]
