CHAPTER-3

Steve Jobs

• Born-Steven Paul Jobs February 24, 1955San Francisco, California, U.S.

• Died-October 5, 2011 (aged 56)

• Occupation-Co-founder, Chairman and CEO,Apple Inc.

Jobs's youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. At Monta Loma Elementary school in Mountain View, he was a prankster whose fourth-grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school—a proposal his parents declined.

• Jobs then attended Cupertino Junior High and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California.At Homestead, Jobs became friends with Bill Fernandez, a neighbor who shared the same interests in electronics. Fernandez introduced Jobs to another, older computer whiz kid, Stephen Wozniak (also known as "Woz"). In 1969 Woz started building a little computer board with Fernandez that they named “The Cream Soda Computer”, which they showed to Jobs; he seemed really interested.Jobs frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California, and was later hired there, working with Wozniak as a summer employee.

• Jobs and Steve Wozniak met in 1971, when their mutual friend, Bill Fernandez, introduced 21-year-old Wozniak to 16-year-old Jobs. In 1976, Wozniak invented the Apple computer. Jobs, Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne founded Apple computer in the garage of Jobs's parents in order to sell it.They received funding from a then-semi-retired Intel product-marketing manager and engineer Mike Markkula.

• In 1978, Apple recruited Mike Scott from National Semiconductor to serve as CEO for what turned out to be several turbulent years. In 1983, Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola to serve as Apple's CEO, asking, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"

• In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Apple Lisa. One year later, Apple employee Jef Raskin invented the Macintosh.

• The following year, Apple aired a Super Bowl television commercial titled "1984". 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"

• Sculley learned that Jobs—who believed Sculley to be "bad for Apple" and the wrong person to lead the company—had been attempting to organize aboardroom coup, and on May 24, 1985, called a board meeting to resolve the matter. Apple's board of directors sided with Sculley and removed Jobs from his managerial duties as head of the Macintosh division. Jobs resigned from Apple.

• In 1996, Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $427 million. The deal was finalized in late 1996,bringing

Jobs back to the company he co-founded. Jobs became de facto chief after then-CEO Gil Amelio was ousted in July

1997. He was formally named interim chief executive in September.In March 1998, to concentrate Apple's efforts on

returning to profitability, Jobs terminated a number of projects, such as Newton, Cyberdog, and OpenDoc. 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."Jobs also changed the licensing program

for Macintosh clones, making it too costly for the manufacturers to continue making machines.

• With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products, most

notably NeXTSTEP ,which evolved into Mac OS X. 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. At the 2000 Macworld Expo, Jobs officially dropped the "interim" modifier from

his title at Apple and became permanent CEO.Jobs quipped at the time that he would be using the title "iCEO".
