Steven Jobs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born
Steven P. Jobs
February 24, 1955 (1955-02-24) (age 54)[1]
San Francisco, California, U.S.[1]

Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is an American businessman, and the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.
Jobs previously served as CEO of Pixar Animation Studios and is now a member of the Walt Disney Company's Board of Directors.
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula[11] and others, designed, developed, and marketed some of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series and later, the Macintosh.
In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface.[12][13] After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985[14][15], Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. NeXT's subsequent 1997 buyout by Apple Computer Inc. brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since then.
In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios.[16] He remained CEO and majority shareholder until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006.[2] Jobs is currently a member of Walt Disney Company's Board of Directors.[17][18]
Jobs' history in business has contributed much to the symbolic image of the idiosyncratic, individualistic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of design and understanding the crucial role aesthetics play in public appeal. His work driving forward the development of products that are both functional and elegant has earned him a devoted following.[19]
Beginning in mid-January 2009, Jobs took a five-month leave of absence from Apple to undergo a liver transplant.[20] Jobs officially resumed his role as CEO of Apple on June 29, 2009.


Early years

Jobs was born in San Francisco[1] and was adopted by Paul and Clara (née Hagopian) Jobs of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California who named him Steven Paul. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, who they named Patty.
Jobs' biological parents, Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali—a graduate student from Syria who became a political science professor—later married and gave birth to Job's sister, the novelist Mona Simpson.]
Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High School and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California,[19] and frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California. He was soon hired there and worked with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee.[27] In 1972, Jobs graduated from high school and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester,[28] he continued auditing classes at Reed, such as one in calligraphy.
Jobs later stated, "If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts", he said.[15]
In the autumn of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Wozniak. 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.
