Farewell to a Genius | Steve Jobs’ Life [Infographics]

He is One of the most influential persons in tech industry.. This infographics is the remembrance of Steve Jobs as he was ended on Oct 5 2011

 

“I wanted my kids to know me” SteveJobs to Walter Isaacson (Author of Steves’ official biography)

Before his death, Steve Jobs told his chosen biographer that he wanted to leave a documentary record so that his children would have a better understanding of their larger-than-life father.

“I wanted my kids to know me,” Jobs told Walter Isaacson, who is the author of an authorized biography of Apple’s co-founder, titled”Steve Jobs.”

Isaacson recounted his time interviewing Jobs in an essay published on Time’s website. In particular, he noted their final conversation when he asked this very private man why Jobs agreed to reveal so much in a book? 

“I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did,” Jobs answered, referring to his children.

Isaacson said Jobs approached him in 2004 with a request to write his biography just before undergoing his first surgery for pancreatic cancer. “He had been scattershot friendly to me over the years, with occasional bursts of intensity, especially when he was launching a new product that he wanted on the cover of TIME or featured on CNN, places where I’d worked. But now that I was no longer at either of those places, I hadn’t heard from him much,” he recounted in the essay.

When Jobs asked him to write his life story, Isaacson passed on the request.

Not now, he wrote. “Maybe in a decade or two, when you retire.”

But I later realized that he had called me just before he was going to be operated on for cancer for the first time. As I watched him battle that disease, with an awesome intensity combined with an astonishing emotional romanticism, I came to find him deeply compelling, and I realized how much his personality was ingrained in the products he created. His passions, demons, desires, artistry, devilry and obsession for control were integrally connected to his approach to business, so I decided to try to write his tale as a case study in creativity.

Isaacson offered more details about Jobs’ obsessive pursuit of aesthetically pleasing designs – a quest some described as perfectionism. For Jobs, though, it wasn’t a question of being a control freak; rather, he said Apple was trying to create the best user experience for customers who routinely put up with kludgy hardware and software.

“They’re busy doing whatever they do best, and they want us to do what we do best. Their lives are crowded. They have other things to do than think about how to integrate their computers and devices,” he’s quoted saying. A few weeks ago, Isaacson visited Jobs for the last time in his Palo Alto, Calif., home. He found Jobs in a weakened state and in some pain, though with a mind that remained “sharp and his humor vibrant.” But after nearly 50 interviews with the legendary technologist, Isaacson finally asked the question that had haunted him from the start: Why did this famously private man decide to finally reveal so much about himself in a book?

“I wanted my kids to know me,” Jobs said. “I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.”

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died at 56 (1955-2011)

This world lost another revolutionary person.The man behind half bitten apple that revolutionised the world.A bright lamp in the information technology industry put out. Legendary industry pioneer and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died. He was 56. His death was announced by Apple without giving a specific cause, though it is reported that Jobs had been battling cancer since 2004. “We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today,” the company said in a brief statement. “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve,” it added. TechPowerUp joins the rest of the industry in mourning this great loss. 

Bill Gates on Steve jobs

“I’m truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs’ death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work.

Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives.

The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. 

For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor.  I will miss Steve immensely. “ 

Facebook founder 

Steve Wozniak


“We’ve lost something we won’t get back,” Wozniak said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “The way I see it, though, the way people love products he put so much into creating means he brought a lot of life to the world.”
Wozniak wiped away tears in a separate AP video interview.
Jobs “gets a reputation for being a strong leader and for being brash. But to me he was always so kind, such a good friend,” he said.

Jobs’ health had been a controversial topic for years and a deep concern to Apple fans and investors. Even board members have in the past years confided to friends their concern that Jobs, in his quest for privacy, was not being forthcoming enough with directors about the true condition of his health. Jobs, a Buddhist, was born in San Francisco. He started Apple Computer with friend Steve Wozniak in his parents’ garage in 1976. Six years ago, Jobs had talked about how a sense of his mortality was a major driver behind that vision. “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life,” Jobs had said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005.

The opening phase of Jobs’s professional ascent stretched from 1976 to 1984. He scored his first hit with the Apple-II computer, a device that resonated with schools and some consumers and small businesses, and made Apple an alluring alternative to IBM, then the world’s largest computer maker. Apple had its initial public offer in 1980 and the graphical Macintosh was born just over three years later. During the second phase, from 1984 to 1997, Jobs’ star dimmed a little. In 1985, he was fired after a power struggle with the Apple board. He started another computer company, NeXT Computer Inc, and bought a digital animation studio from filmmaker George Lucas. The company later assumed the name Pixar.

Apple’s purchase of NeXT in 1997 brought Jobs back to the computer maker he helped found and commenced his career’s third phase. The company was foundering. He ignited a flurry of innovations and growth and achieved what may be the greatest comeback in business history. Whether he was working on the Mac or the iPhone or backing the computer animation that yielded an unbroken string of Pixar hits, Jobs proved that complex technologies could be designed into simple, beautiful products that people would find irresistible. During the Standford address in 2005, Jobs (inter alia) outlined his philosophy: “….the only way to do great work is to love what you do”.

Apple products — Macbooks, iPods, iPhones and iPads — continue to cast a spell on users who are willing to wait for hours in serpentine queues to be the first to buy these products. In India, Apple iPhones may have slightly over 1 per cent marketshare, and only a few thousand iPads are sold in the country. Yet, Apple and Steve Jobs are almost household names here. Never has the exit of a global CEO generated such excitement, and seldom has a death been mourned as much.

Apple’s success story is linked with Jobs’ charisma and deep involvement with the company’s product designs. Jobs has 313 Apple patents (much more than those granted to other technology chiefs) to his credit, which demonstrates his eye for details. He is also considered an icon by many business leaders, a ‘designer of designers’, powerful speaker and brand guru.
