ow’s this for a story, a
man starts a company in
his parents garage. 10
years later it’s worth
billions of dollars. Then
he gets kicked out the company and
starts two more which go on to
become extremely successful, not too
far down the road he brings the
company from the ashes to become
one of the most successful and
valuable in the world. Along the way
he cheats death twice and defies the
downturn. At this point many of you
readers must be thinking that this is
too good to be true, however it is the
story of Steve Jobs.
Steven Paul Jobs “Steve Jobs” was born
February 24 1955. He attended
Cupertino Junior High and Homestead
High School in Cupertino, California. He
graduated in 1972 and attended Reed
College in Portland, Oregon. He
dropped out after one semester as he
thought college was a waste of time
and money especially since he didn’t
know what he was going to do with his
life. He slept on the floor of his friends
dormitories and sold coke bottles for
money. However he still dropped in
on calligraphy classes, a skill which he
later used while designing font faces
for the Mac OS. In 1974, Jobs took a
job as a technician at Atari, Inc, a
manufacturer of video games, with the
primary intent of saving money for a
spiritual retreat to India. He came back
a Buddhist wearing Indian clothes and
a shaved head.
He returned to Atari and helped design
a new circuit board for a new game
with Steve Wozniak and split the
profits 50:50 with him.
In 1976 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and
Ronald Wayne founded Apple.
However it took some time for Apple
to release the iPods and Mac we know
and love today. In 1983, Jobs
managed to recruit John Sculley away
from Pepsi 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? This led to the creation of
the apple Lisa and then the Macintosh.
The Macintosh became the first
commercially successful small
computer with a graphical user
interface. However after disappointing

sales in 1984 Jobs was booted out of
his own company. But Steve did not go
down without a fight as an internal
power struggle developed between
Jobs and Sculley. He said that Scully
was “bad for apple” and called a board
meeting to resolve this matter. Apple's
board of directors sided with Sculley
and removed Jobs from the company.
Jobs went on to found NeXT
computers and Pixar which went on to
make hits such as Toy Story, Monsters
inc and A Bug’s Life. Jobs later sold
Pixar to Disney which made him the
largest shareholder of Disney. Jobs
returned to Apple as CEO after Apple
bought NeXT for $429 million. In 1996,
NeXT Software, Inc released
WebObjects, a framework for Web
application development. Many of
NeXT’s products were incorporated
into Apple products, most notably
NeXTSTEP which later evolved into
Mac OSX.
Apple then branched out and
introduced the iPod and iTunes after
successful sales of the iMac. The fist
iPod was launched on October 23 2001
and had a 10Gb capacity and a battery
life of 10 hours.
The product line-up currently consists
of the hard drive based iPod Classic,
the touchscreen iPod
Touch, the candy
coloured iPod Nanos
and the ultra-
compact iPod shuffles.
In October 2003, Jobs was diagnosed
with cancer and in 2004 he announced
that he had pancreatic cancer to his
employees. However fortunately he
had a rare form of the cancer that
could be removed by surgery. During
Jobs's absence, Tim Cook, head of
worldwide sales and operations at
Apple, ran the company.
Four years later Apple rocked the
world by releasing the iPhone which
boasted its own iPod and mobile
browser. This changed the Phone
scene completely as most analysts
predicted the iPhone to be a complete
failure. Apple sold 6.1 million original
iPhone units over five quarters. Apple
Subsequently released the iPhone 3G,
iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and most
recently the iPhone 4S. Recorded sales
have been growing steadily thereafter,
and by the end of fiscal year 2010, a
total of 73.5 million iPhones were sold.

On January 14, 2009, in an
internal Apple memo, Jobs
wrote that in the previous
week he had "learned that my
health-related issues are more
complex than I originally
thought", and announced a
six-month leave of absence
until the end of June 2009, to
allow him to better focus on
his health. In April 2009 he
underwent a liver transplant
at the Methodist University
Hospital Transplant Institute
in Memphis, Tennessee.
In January of 2010 Apple
launched the iPad a
revolutionary new tablet
computer that ran a custom
version of iOS. Apple released
the first iPad in April 2010,
and sold 3 million of the
devices in 80 days. During
2010, Apple sold 14.8 million
iPads worldwide representing
75 percent of tablet PC sales
at the end of 2010. Apple then
released the iPad two which
came with a front facing
camera and a thinner form
factor.
On January 17, 2011, a year
and a half after Jobs returned from his
liver transplant, Apple announced that
he had been granted a medical leave
of absence. Jobs announced his leave
in a letter to employees, stating his
decision was made "so he could focus
on his health" Despite the medical
leave Steve still made the Keynotes of
the iPad event and the WWDC in June.

Then on August 24 of 2011 Steve jobs
resigned as CEO of Apple (shown
above) and took up the post as
chairman. A little over a month later,
Jobs died at his California home
around 3 p.m. on October 5, 2011, due
to complications from relapse of
pancreatic cancer.
Tributes flooded in and the Apple
homepage was change to a picture of
Steve Jobs with a lifespan next to it.
Clicking on the picture led to this
quote:
Apple has lost a visionary and creative
genius, and the world has lost an amazing
human being. Those of us who have been
fortunate enough to know and work with
Steve have lost a dear friend and an
inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a
company that only he could have built,
and his spirit will forever be the
foundation of Apple."
A private memorial service for Apple
employees was held on October 19,
2011, on the Apple Campus
in Cupertino. He is buried at Alta Mesa
Memorial Park in Palo Alto.
Steve Jobs was undoubtedly a great
man with a true passion for what he
did. His legacy will live on and so will
his products. Thank you Steve!

On October the 4th 2011 Apple
announced the iPhone 4S. Although it
may look almost identical to the
previous version. It’s a whole new
phone inside. It includes the A5
processor which is the same processor
found in the iPad 2. What this mean is
that the new iPhone is blazing fast and
will be able to handle any memory
hungry apps you throw at it. Its
graphics processor provides up to 7
times the graphical performance of the
iPhone 4's A4 chip.
The iPhone 4S's wireless system has
also been tweaked; the handset will
now intelligently switch between
antennas for optimal performance.
This not only improves signal
reliability, it also doubles the
theoretical maximum speed from 7.2
Mbps on the iPhone 4 to 14.4 Mbps on
the iPhone 4S. The new iPhone now
also supports GSM and CDMA
networks making it compatible with
any carrier in the world.
The iPhone 4S has brand new 8
megapixel camera that can shoot up to
3264 x 2448 images. It’ll can capture
73 per cent more light per pixel than
the iPhone 4 due to a new backlit
sensor. A five-element lens leads to
photos that are up to 30 per cent
sharper than those on the iPhone 4..
The camera also works much faster
than on previous models; Apple claims
it takes only 1.1 seconds to take the
first photo, with subsequent shots
having a delay of only half a second.
The improved camera also features
true 1080p HD video recording, video
stabilization, and face detection.
But perhaps the most interesting
feature that is exclusive to the iPhone
4s is Siri, a virtual assistant that’s in
built. Just tap the mic on the keyboard
and start talking to enter text, check
the weather, get directions or perform
web searches.
Overall the iPhone 4S is a great
improvement to its predecessor and is
a great buy. Although its not the full
blown overhaul that we were
expecting (ahem iPhone 5) its
hardware improvements coupled with
iOS5 (which we cover in next month’s
issue) and Siri makes it a must have for
anyone.
