What incredible success?
AAPL he left when he was done, his legacy, the iphone, the ipad, the ipod, the app store, etc...
If it was so easy, how come no one else did it?
He created Apple. A company that in so many cases dragged the computer industry forward. The mac had a user interface way in advance of its age. It took decades for Microsoft to catch up.
When apple bought Next and he became CEO, Apple had maybe a few months of liquidity in front of it. They were destined to join the multitudes of carcasses the SV is littered with. Apple was basically dead.
It took a sequence of virtually perfect moves to bring it out of this kind of death spiral... And not just that, but to the point where Apple is now the most valuable company on this planet.
Jobs put apple into a death spiral in the first place. Apple sucked wind playing with bankruptcy off and on for 25 years with Jobs at the helm for 16 of them.
Jobs is nothing without a field of engineers and the like
Where was all that genius the first 30 years? Microsoft didn't need to catch up they were outselling apple 100 to 1.
Rin saysIn his personal life, he doesn't date anyone, he only fuck hoes. And thus, no illegitimate child and no 'Lisa' stories.
Quick question. If you go out for dinner, who do you go out with?
One big winner product in 40 years to me is hype.
Jobs put apple into a death spiral in the first place. Apple sucked wind playing with bankruptcy off and on for 25 years with Jobs at the helm for 16 of them. They didn't make any real increase with in sales which were below 10 billion dollars from 1977 until 2005/2006 then took off with the ipod. Where was all that genius the first 30 years?
Steve Job's death was the greatest loss ever to mankind. I will miss the unimaginable products he may have created if he was still alive.
FortWayne saysThe lisa was a loser that almost took the company down. The Next machine was a failure flat out. The original mac almost took the company down also, Once the Mac started production Jobs cut off all development and support for the Apple II which was the bread and butter for the company.. . Wozniak left over that.
Irrelevant. Who cares is Wozniak left. That makes the iPhone a failure? You think successful entrepreneurs, scientists, Noble Prize winners never had failures? Have you seen how many times babies fail to walk, before they learn to walk?
must be a bug on quotes. This wasn't me who said that.
He also ripped off the guy who did the real work, Boz.

It was Bob who said that.
He created Apple. A company that in so many cases dragged the computer industry forward. The mac had a user interface way in advance of its age. It took decades for Microsoft to catch up.
But at Comdex in recent years, the PC has taken a back seat to the host of other products people are using these days to get connected. And a glance through this year's exhibitor list shows that the trend is continuing.
Although Gates did use the keynote to demonstrate some of Microsoft's latest PC-related software, including an upcoming version of Office and a prototype of a "tablet PC," his address centered on the changes that are taking place in the industry.
"We're at a very key transition point," Gates said. "There are going to be lots of devices, but a new model that makes them work together. It is going to require an architecture approach that is different than what we have today."
Apple was operating in the hole, so it created a slick design for an over glorified MP3 player and people had to have it.
