isad  R.I.P    斯坦福的演讲真的影响了很多人，偶是其中之一...

在1984年1月24日苹果电脑发布了Macintosh，我们都知道这次的发布会创造了历史，但是至今依然只有很少人看过这次的发布会，在30年后的今天，让我们再来回顾一下“Macintosh 1984”.回想乔教主意气风发时！！！     http://www.acfun.tv/v/ac184474/

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

Thank you.
I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just  three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife -- except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.

So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college. This was the start in my life.

缅怀乔布斯！
无法表达此时的心情，在我的想法中乔布斯就是苹果的灵魂，离开了乔布斯的苹果，希望可以将强的走下去，让神话得以常存！

你的工作将会是你生活中很大一部分，唯一能使自己得到真正满足的是，做你认为是伟大的工作。做一份伟大工作的唯一方法是：热爱你所做的工作。如果你还没有找到这样的伟大工作，那就继续寻找吧。不要妥协。

为什么只要英文的?有些中文的也挺好的.我之前看过cctv2的商道,有一期讲苹果的,只是忘了哪一期,感觉也不错

jobs   我的偶像
唯一的偶像

乔布斯，无论怎么样，总是值得我们敬仰。

乔布斯是本世纪最伟大的创新者，我的偶像

我想没有乔布斯，就没有触屏手机的普及了，真可惜，本来要看谷歌、微软、苹果的三国混战的，没有对手是多么的孤独。

美各界人士致辞： 　　
比尔盖茨： 　　
惊闻乔布斯辞世的消息我深感悲痛。梅林达和我向史蒂夫的家人和朋友，以及向所有被史蒂夫的作品所打动过的人们，致以诚挚的慰问和哀悼。 　　
史蒂夫和我相识已经近30年，在此后的大半生中，我们一直是伙伴、同事，竞争对手和朋友。 　　
很少有人对世界产生像乔布斯那样的影响，这种影响将是长期的。 　　
对于我们这些有幸与乔布斯共事的人来说，这是一种无上的荣幸，我将深刻怀念乔布斯。 　　

Facebook创始人兼首席执行官马克扎克伯格： 　　
“史蒂夫，感谢您作为一个导师和朋友所做的一切，谢谢你展展现出你的工作和努力如何改变世界。我会想念你。” 　　

微软联合创始人保罗艾伦： 　　
向史蒂夫的朋友和家人致以深切慰问，我们失去了一个无与伦比的科技潮流先驱和导演者，他懂得如何创造出令人惊叹的伟大产品。 　　

纽约市市长布隆伯格： 　　
今晚，美国失去了一个天才，乔布斯的名字将与爱迪生和爱因斯坦一同被铭记。他们的理念将继续改变世界，影响数代人。在过去的四十年中，史蒂夫乔布斯一次又一次预见了未来，并把它付诸实践。乔布斯热情、信念和才识重新塑造了文明的形态。[

Statement from Bill Gates:

"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. "

Statement from Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO:

"Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you."

Statement from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen:

"My condolences to Steve Jobs family and friends. We've lost a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products."

Statement from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:

"Tonight, America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come. Again and again over the last four decades, Steve Jobs saw the future and brought it to life long before most people could even see the horizon. And Steve's passionate belief in the power of technology to transform the way we live brought us more than smart phones and iPads: it brought knowledge and power that is reshaping the face of civilization. In New York City's government, everyone from street construction inspectors to NYPD detectives have harnessed Apple's products to do their jobs more efficiently and intuitively. Tonight our City - a city that has always had such respect and admiration for creative genius - joins with people around the planet in remembering a great man and keeping Laurene and the rest of the Jobs family in our thoughts and prayers."

致敬！一个伟大的人，影响我们时代的人！

R.I.P Jobs
TIME首页用很大的篇幅表达了对这一天才的敬意，这是其中的一篇obituaryhttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2096251,00.html
NYTIMES‘With Time Running Short, Jobs Managed His Farewells’
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/07/technology/with-time-running-short-steve-jobs-managed-his-farewells.html?_r=1&hp

我总结了Steve Jobs的一些语录，致敬伟大的Jobs, 现归类如下：

1.乔布斯关于未来的预测的语录：

我和苹果的联系永远都不会断。我希望在自己的一生中，我个人的生命历程可以和苹果的发展过程交织在一起，就像一幅织锦那样。也许我会有几年时间不在苹果，但我一定还会回来的。(《花花公子》杂志(Playboy)，1985年2月1日)

***

未来大多数人买家用电脑最强烈的动机，将是通过这台电脑和全美的通讯网络相连。我们正处于一个真正的非凡突破的起始阶段，对大多数人来说都是如此，其意义与电话的影响一样重大。(《花花公子》杂志(Playboy)，1985年2月1日)
台式电脑行业走到了尽头，基本上已无创新可言。微软占据着统治地位，几乎看不到创新。游戏结束了，苹果输了。台式电脑市场已经进入黑暗期，而且未来10年或至少现在所处的90年代余下的时间都将是黑暗期。

现在的情形就像是在微处理器问世之前，IBM把很多创新拒于电脑行业之外。微软最终将因骄傲自满而走向末路，或许会有一些新生事物出现。但在那之前，在出现根本性的技术变革之前，这个行业完了。(《连线》杂志(Wired)，1996年2月)

**

之所以发明出“台式电脑”这个词，一是因为它是个独立的设备，二是因为你要管理自己存储的东西。存储在台式电脑行业非常重要，不过它可能会逐渐消失。以后你可能不必管理自己的存储内容，可能过不了多久你就不用再存储很多东西。(《连线》杂志(Wired)，1996年2月)

best quotes on predicting the future

'I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back. [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We're just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people as remarkable as the telephone.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

'It's like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there's some fundamental technology shift, it's just over.' [Wired, February 1996]

***

The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. That's a very big thing in a desktop world. And that may go away. You may not have to manage your own storage. You may not store much before too long. [Wired, February 1996]

2.乔布斯关于竞争对手的语录：

《花花公子》：你的意思是，生产初级PC的人对自己的产品没有那种自豪感？
要是有的话，他们就不会生产初级PC。[《花花公子》杂志，1985年2月1日]

***

有人说，我们应当在美国的每一张办公桌上都摆上IBM的PC机，以此提高生产效率。这种办法没用。这一次你必须要学会的特殊咒语是“/q-z”以及这一类的东西。最流行的文字处理程序WordStar的手册有厚厚的400页。想要写出一本小说，你就必须先去读小说──让大多数人读起来都感觉很深奥那种。他们对/q-z的了解程度不会超过对摩尔斯电码(Morse code)的了解。这就是Macintosh的精髓所在。[《花花公子》杂志，1985年2月1日]

***

微软(Microsoft)唯一的问题是他们一点品味也没有。他们绝对没有任何品味。而且我说这话不是从小的方面，而是从大的方面说，因为他们不去考虑原创的点子，也没有在产品中注入什么文化。

我很痛心，不是因为微软的成功──我对他们的成功没有任何意见。他们的成功在很大程度上是应得的。我有意见的是，他们做出来的真的只是三流的产品。[《书呆子的胜利──微软发家史》，1996年]

***

我衷心祝愿他一切顺利。我只是觉得他和微软有点狭隘。要是他年轻的时候服用过迷幻药，或是去过嬉皮士扎堆的地方，那他会是一个心胸更宽大的人。[关于比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)，《纽约时报》(The New York Times)，1997年1月12日]

best quotes on his competitors

Playboy: Are you saying that the people who made PCjr don't have that kind of pride in the product?

'If they did, they wouldn't have made the PCjr.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'Some people are saying that we ought to put an IBM PC on every desk in America to improve productivity. It won't work. The special incantations you have to learn this time are the 'slash q-zs' and things like that. The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel one that reads like a mystery to most people. They're not going to learn slash q-z any more than they're going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.'

'I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success ─ I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.' [Triumph of the Nerds, 1996]

***

'I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.' [On Bill Gates, The New York Times, Jan. 12, 1997]

3.乔布斯关于经商之道的语录：

“你知道，我对钱这类东西的主要反应是，人们把所有注意力都放在它身上是件滑稽的事情，因为钱几乎算不上我碰巧所具有的最具洞察力和最有价值的东西。[《花花公子》杂志（Playboy），1985年2月1日]

“对我来说，成为墓地里最富有的人并不重要……晚上临睡前能够说我这一天做了些美妙的事情……对我来说才是重要的。 [《华尔街日报》，1993年5月25日]

***

问：人们给你的回归赋予了很多象征意义。这足以使苹果重新崛起为一家有魔力感的公司吗？

“你理解的不对。这不是一场单人秀。正在使这家公司重新振作起来的是两样东西：其一，这家公司有许多真正具备才能的人，几年来他们听到这个世界说他们是失败者，他们中的一些人已几乎开始相信这一点了。但他们不是失败者。他们所欠缺的是一批好教练和一个好的计划。一个良好的高级管理团队。但他们现在这些都有了。 [《商业周刊》(BusinessWeek)，1998年5月25日]

***

“创新与你有多少研发资金没有关系。当苹果开发出Mac电脑时，国际商业机器公司(IBM)的研发开支至少是苹果的100倍。这不是钱的事。真正重要的是你的员工，你的领导方式以及你对所开发的东西了解多少。 [《财富》杂志(Fortune)，1998年11月9日]

***

“解决苹果公司问题的办法不是削减成本。解决的办法是通过创新走出当前的困境。”[《苹果机密：苹果电脑公司的真实故事》(Apple Confidential: The Real Story of Apple Computer Inc.)，1999年5月]

best quotes on business

'You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous, all the attention to it, because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful… that's what matters to me.' [The Wall Street Journal, May 25, 1993]

***

Q: There's a lot of symbolism to your return. Is that going to be enough to reinvigorate the company with a sense of magic?

'You're missing it. This is not a one-man show. What's reinvigorating this company is two things: One, there's a lot of really talented people in this company who listened to the world tell them they were losers for a couple of years, and some of them were on the verge of starting to believe it themselves. But they're not losers. What they didn't have was a good set of coaches, a good plan. A good senior management team. But they have that now.' [BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]

***

'Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.' [Fortune, Nov. 9, 1998]

***

'The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.' [Apple Confidential: The Real Story of Apple Computer Inc., May 1999]

4.乔布斯关于产品的语录：

我认为我从来没有在什么事情上如此努力过，但开发Macintosh是我一生中最棒的体验。几乎参与开发的所有人都会这样说。最后，没有人希望发布Macintosh。就好像我们知道它一旦不在我们手中，就不再属于我们一样。当我们最终在股东大会上展示时，全体观众鼓掌足足五分钟。我觉得不可思议的是，我能看到Mac团队就坐在前几排。彷佛我们都无法相信我们真的会完成它。大家都开始哭了起来。[《花花公子》杂志，1985年2月1日]

***

《花花公子》：我们已经收到过有关你的警告：在这次采访开始之前，有人说我们会“被忽悠一把”。[笑]“我们只是对自己所做的事热情澎湃”。 [《花花公子》杂志，1985年2月1日]

***

我们把屏幕上的按钮做得漂亮到让人忍不住想要舔一舔。[关于Mac OS X 操作系统，《财富》杂志（Fortune），2000年1月24日]

***

它将会作为音乐行业的一个转折点被载入史册。这是划时代的产品。我对它有多高的评价都不为过！[关于iTunes音乐商店，《财富》，2003年5月12日]

***

每隔一段时间就会出现一个改变一切的革命性产品……如果一个人能在职业生涯中参与创造这样一个产品，那么他是很幸运的。苹果一直很幸运，能够一直向世界推出一些这样的产品。[iPhone发布会，2007年1月9日]

best quotes on products：


“I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn’t be ours anymore. When we finally presented it at the shareholders’ meeting, everyone in the auditorium gave it a five-minute ovation. What was incredible to me was that I could see the Mac team in the first few rows. It was as though none of us could believe we’d actually finished it. Everyone started crying.” [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

Playboy: We were warned about you: Before this Interview began, someone said we were “about to be snowed by the best.” [Smiling] “We’re just enthusiastic about what we do.” [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

“We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.” [On Mac OS X, Fortune, Jan. 24, 2000]

***

“It will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry. This is landmark stuff. I can’t overestimate it!” [On the iTunes Music Store, Fortune, May 12, 2003]

***

“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. … One is very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate it’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world.” [Announcement of the iPhone, Jan. 9, 2007]

5.乔布斯关于设计的语录：

我们认为Mac电脑的销售量将是个天文数字，不过我们研发Mac不是为别人，而是为了我们自己。我们这群人会来评判Mac好还是不好，我们不会到外面去做市场调研，我们只是想尽全力开发出最好的电脑。
如果你是个木匠，正在打造一个漂亮的五斗柜，你是不会在柜子后面用三合板的，哪怕那一面对着墙，永远没人看到它。你知道它在那里，所以即使是柜子后面，你也会用上好的木材。为了能在晚上睡个好觉，你会在审美和质量上自始至终争取做到最好。(《花花公子》杂志(Playboy)，1985年2月1日)

***

设计这个词很有意思。有些人认为设计指的是外观。当然没错，但如果你深挖这个概念，会发现它指的其实是如何运作。Mac的设计工作并不是专门针对它的外观，虽然外观是设计的一部分。Mac的设计主要是关于电脑如何工作。为了设计出真正杰出的作品，你必须懂它，必须真正深入地体验它的全部。为了真正透彻地了解一个东西，为了充分消化体会它而不是囫囵吞枣，你需要一种激情投入。大多数人不会为此花这个时间。

创造力只是把东西联系起来。如果你问有创造力的人他们是如何做到的，他们会觉得有点羞愧，因为他们并没有真的去创造，他们只是看见了某种联系，经过一段时间后，这对他们来说是显而易见的。因为他们能把以前的经历联系起来，以合成新的事物。之所以能这么做，是因为他们有过更多的经历，或者说他们对自己的经历思考的比别人多。

遗憾的是，这种过程很少能够成就一件商品。干我们这行的很多人都缺乏多种多样的经历，所以他们没有足够多的点来进行连接，最后拿出的只是非常线性的解决方案，对问题没有宽广的视角。一个人对人生经历的理解越广阔，最后的设计就越出色。(《连线》杂志(Wired)，1996年2月)

best quotes on design:

'We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn't build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren't going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

***

'Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don't take the time to do that.

'Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.

'Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. [Wired, February 1996]

6.乔布斯关于生死的语录：

关于人生和其它

当海盗比加入海军更有意思。[1987年《Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple》（冒险历程：从百事到苹果）一书引用的他于1982年说的话]

年轻的时候你看着电视，以为背后有一个阴谋，电视台要合谋把我们的头脑变得更简单。但年纪大一些过后你就意识到不是这样的。人们要什么，电视台随时就给什么。这样的想法更让人沮丧。阴谋论是乐观的！你可以朝那些混蛋开火！我们可以来一场革命！但电视台实际上是随时准备满足人们的需要。这就是真相。[《连线》杂志，1996年2月]

***

我相信人类是高贵的，是光荣的，其中一部分非常聪明，从这方面来讲我是一名乐观主义者。我对个体的看法非常乐观。人作为个体在本质是上好的。对于作为群体的人，我的看法就悲观一些。看到我们国家发生的事情，我仍然是极度担心。从很多方面讲，我们的国家都是世界上最幸运的地方，然而我们似乎不是很想为了自己的孩子把我们国家建设得更好。[《连线》杂志，1996年2月]

***

关于……

没有谁想死。甚至想去天堂的人也不想为了去天堂而死。但死亡是我们所有人的目的地，没有谁跑掉过。本来也应该是这样，因为“死”很有可能就是“生”的最佳发明。它是“生”的变革促进者。它把旧的清理掉，为新的让路。眼下你是新的，但不久过后的某一天，你慢慢地就成了旧的，被清理掉了。很遗憾变化是如此剧烈，但这相当真实。

你的时间是有限的，所以不要把它浪费在走别人的人生道路上面。不要受教条羁绊，那是在用别人的思考成果活着。不要让他人意见的噪音淹没你内心深处的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气听从内心和直觉的召唤。它们或多或少已经知道你真正想成为一个什么样的人。其他一切都是次要的。[2005年6月在斯坦福大学(Stanford)毕业典礼上的演讲]

best quotes on life and one more thing

“It’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.” [1982, quoted in Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, 1987]

***

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.” [Wired, February 1996]

***

“I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals. As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.” [Wired, February 1996]

***

And One More Thing

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma ─ which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

7.乔布斯关于科技的语录：

best quotes on technology:

'It takes these very simple-minded instructions─'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.' [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]

****

'The problem is I'm older now, I'm 40 years old, and this stuff doesn't change the world. It really doesn't. 'I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time.

****

Technology is not changing it much ─ if at all. 'These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.

But it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light ─ that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important.' [Wired, February 1996]

****

'I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television ─ but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.' [Rolling Stone, Dec. 3, 2003]



它执行的是这些非常简单的指令──“拿个数字过来，和眼前的这个数字相加，然后看看结果是不是比原来的数字更大”，但执行速度达到了比如每秒一百万次。按每秒100万次的速度，其结果就显得神奇了。[《花花公子》(Playboy)，1985年2月1日]

****

问题在于我现在年纪大些了，我已经40岁了，而这个东西(科技)改变不了世界，真的改变不了。对不起，真是这样。有了孩子，你对这些东西的看法真的就改变了。我们出生，然后短暂地活过一生，然后死去。很久以来一直都是这样。

****

科技并没有带来多大改变──如果真有改变的话。这些技术可以让生活更加方便，可以让我们跟本来可能接触不到的人接触。你的孩子可能有天生缺陷，而你还能够与其他父母和支持团体接触，获得医疗信息和最新实验药品。这些东西可以从根本上影响生活。我没有贬低这些的意思。

但如果总是以这种激进的新角度来看待事物，认为科技将改变一切，却是有害而无益的。事物不见得非得改变世界才变得重要。[《连线》杂志(Wired)，1996年2月]

****

我认为科技让世界变得紧密很多，而且会继续让世界变得更紧密。每个事物都有不好的一面，一切都有意想不到的后果。我见过的最具破坏性的科技叫做电视，但你如果看到电视的最好的一面的话，它也很了不起。[《滚石》杂志(Rolling Stone)，2003年12月3日]

乔布斯辞职信全文

致苹果董事会和苹果社区：

我总是说，如果有一天我无法再履行苹果首席执行长的职责、满足大家的期望，我会首先让你们知道。

很遗憾，这一天到来了。

在此，我辞去苹果CEO一职。如果董事会认为合适，我愿意以董事长、董事及雇员的身份继续为苹果效力。

关于我的继任者，我强烈建议执行我们的继任方案，任命蒂姆•库克(Tim Cook)为苹果CEO。

我相信苹果会迎来最光辉、最富创新的未来，同时我也希望以一个新的角色见证苹果的成功并为之贡献一己之力。

我的人生至交有一些就是在苹果结识的，能与大家共事这么多年，我感谢你们。

乔布斯

CUPERTINO, Calif. August 24, 2011 To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know.

Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve

永不停息的超越自我！

听到乔布斯去世的消息，很伤感，说不出伤感的原因

【香港大学生设计乔布斯纪念Logo 】为了缅怀苹果前CEO乔布斯(Steve Jobs)，香港理工大学设计学院19岁学生Jonathan Mak制作了一副图片，将乔布斯的头像侧影与苹果商标相融合，体现出乔布斯是苹果永远的灵魂。现在这个Logo 世界网络上广为流传。

Stay hungry,stay foolish——Jobs
求知若渴，虚心若愚

farewell jobs....

1、 领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
2、 成为卓越的代名词，很多人并不能适合需要杰出素质的环境。
3、 成就一番伟业的唯一途径就是热爱自己的事业。
4、 我们认为看电视的时候，人的大脑基本停止工作，打开电脑的时候，大脑才开始运转。
5、 我是我所知唯一一个在一年中失去2.5亿美元的人……这对我的成长很有帮助。
6、 我愿意把我所有的科技去换取和苏格拉底相处的一个下午。
7、 活着就是为了改变世界，难道还有其他原因吗？
8、 你的时间有限，所以不要为别人而活。不要被教条所限，不要活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉，只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法，其他一切都是次要。
9 不要被教条所限，要听从自己内心的声音，去做自己想做的事。

虽说我不是果粉，但是我们确实应该记住这个伟人！google上关于他的语录太多，唯一重要的是他的语录中有点经典可以成为我们的榜样！

abc制作的乔布斯专辑！很全面，很精彩！

作为iPhone4的使用者，我不得不说，这是我所有用过手机里最好的一个！
是乔布斯将艺术与科技在iPhone4上完美地结合，深情缅怀这位Great man。希望Apple能秉承他的创新精神继续为人类科技的进步而做出贡献！

Jobs created a legend which will not be broken. He is a man who sells dream, not products~
He changed the way people live, and I think the most important thing for Apple INC. and the fans of it is to be ourselves! Then, change the world
