Gawker: "In the days after Steve Jobs' death, friends and colleagues have, in customary fashion, been sharing their fondest memories of the Apple co-founder. He's been hailed as "a genius" and "the greatest CEO of his generation" by pundits and tech journalists. But a great man's reputation can withstand a full accounting. And, truth be told, Jobs could be terrible to people, and his impact on the world was not uniformly positive."
It feels real. Except, it isn’t.
Steve Jobs's Apple-1 prototype computer sold at auction for about $700,000. Paul Terrell, the proprietor of one of the earliest computer stores in the world,
Steve Jobs’ job application has been auctioned for GBP 162,000. In this letter, no role is mentioned for which Steve applied.
Many of us know that he was capable of being a grade A world renouned @sshole!
But... Hey, it's a fact that nice people don't make it to the top.
Every one in live has + and - points but as a business man he managed to achieve what a lot of other CEO's and companys have not managed to do and that is take a failing company to be one of the biggest in the world. He came in at the right time when there was a gap in the music market with the Ipod. I remember getting my 1st MP3 player it was a massive 32mb I could fit 11 songs onto it and people were laffing at me saying there mini disk player was better and mp3 players will not take off and then along came the Ipod. It was not the best mp3 player on the market but apple managed to advertise it right and it then became the cool device to have and the company carried this on into the iphone and Ipad again not the best devices on the market but have the cool name and work well at what they do.
I do think cracks have started to appear in apples phone market with Android and Windows Phone 7 now on the market that offer more then the Iphone but if it was not for the Iphone we would not have android or Windows Phone 7.
I am not a fan of apple or Jobs but if you look at what he has done as a CEO in the IT world he has got his name up there with Bill Gates.
I am not a fan of Apple or Steve Jobs because they over price there items.
Here is the proof:

They can over price it by 200$ because you have people in the world you would pay that much.....
Wow this is the worst you could say about steve jobs? Many of these things could be said about other CEO's or company leaders.
