天才已逝去，天才成长道路不可复制，但精神永存

Steve Jobs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  (Redirected from Steve jobs)

Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)[5] was an American computer entrepreneur and innovator. He was co-founder,[6] chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.[7] Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.

In the late 1970s, Jobs—along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula[6] and others—designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Macintosh.[8][9] After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets. Apple's subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he served as its interim CEO from 1997, then becoming permanent CEO from 2000 onwards.[10] After resigning as CEO in August 2011, Jobs was elected chairman of Apple's board of directors and held that title until his death.

In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd, which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios.[11] He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer.[12] He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1 percent until its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in 2006.[13] Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7 percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors.[14][15]

On October 5, 2011, Jobs died in California at age 56, seven years after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[16]

At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a visionary,[17] pioneer[18] and genius[17][19][20]—perhaps one of the foremost[21][22]—in the field of business,[22][21][23] innovation,[24] and product design,[25] and a man who had "profoundly"[26] changed the face of the modern world,[24][19][18] revolutionized at least six different industries,[17][24] and an "exemplar for all chief executives".[17][22][23] His death was widely mourned[27][28] and considered a loss to the world by commentators across the globe.[20]

Early years
Jobs was born in San Francisco[1] and was adopted by the family of Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) of Mountain View, California.[29] Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti. Jobs' biological parents—Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian Muslim immigrant to the U.S.,[30][31] who later became a political science professor at the University of Nevada and is presently a vice president of Boomtown Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada,[32] and Joanne Schieble (later Simpson), an American graduate student[33] of Swiss and German ancestry[34] who went on to become a speech language pathologist[35]—eventually[when?] married. The marriage produced Jobs' biological sister, novelist Mona Simpson; the two of them first met in 1986 as adults and enjoyed a close relationship since, with Jobs regularly visiting Simpson in Manhattan. From Simpson, Jobs learned more about their birth parents and he invited his biological mother Joanne to some events.[36][37] Jandali claims that he didn't want to put Jobs up for adoption but that Simpson's parents did not approve of her marrying a Syrian. Jandali's few attempts to contact Jobs were unsuccessful;[38] Jobs did not contact his biological father either.[39] Jandali gave an interview to The Sun in August 2011 when Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple; Jandali also mailed in his medical history after Jobs' pancreatic disorder was made public that year.[40][41]


Steve Jobs at the WWDC 07Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California. He frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California, and was later hired there, working with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee.[42] Following high school graduation in 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester,[43] he continued auditing classes at Reed, while sleeping on the floor in friends' rooms, returning Coke bottles for food money, and getting weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple.[44] Jobs later said, "If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts."[44]

In the fall of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with 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.

Jobs then traveled to India to visit Neem Karoli Baba[45] at his Kainchi Ashram with a Reed College friend (and, later, the first Apple employee), Daniel Kottke, in search of spiritual enlightenment. He came back a Buddhist with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing.[46][47] During this time, Jobs experimented with psychedelics, calling his LSD experiences "one of the two or three most important things [he had] done in [his] life".[48] He later said that people around him who did not share his countercultural roots could not fully relate to his thinking.[48]

Jobs returned to his previous job at Atari and was given the task of creating a circuit board for the game Breakout. According to Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari had offered $100 for each chip that was eliminated in the machine. Jobs had little interest in or knowledge of circuit board design and made a deal with Wozniak to split the bonus evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. According to Wozniak, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari had given them only $700 (instead of the actual $5,000) and that Wozniak's share was thus $350.[49]

Career
Founding of Apple ComputerSee also: History of Apple
In 1976, Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne,[50] with later funding from a then-semi-retired Intel product-marketing manager and engineer A.C. "Mike" Markkula Jr.,[6] founded Apple. Prior to co-founding Apple, Wozniak was an electronics hacker. Jobs and Wozniak had been friends for several years, having met in 1971, when their mutual friend, Bill Fernandez, introduced 21-year-old Wozniak to 16-year-old Jobs. Jobs managed to interest Wozniak in assembling a computer and selling it.[51] As Apple continued to expand, the company began looking for an experienced executive to help manage its expansion.


Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at the fifth D: All Things Digital conference (D5) in 2007In 1978, Apple recruited Mike Scott from National Semiconductor to serve as CEO for what turned out to be several turbulent years. In 1983, Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola 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?"[52] The following year, Apple aired a Super Bowl television commercial titled "1984". At Apple's annual shareholders meeting on January 24, 1984, an emotional Jobs introduced the Macintosh to a wildly enthusiastic audience; Andy Hertzfeld described the scene as "pandemonium".[53] The Macintosh became the first commercially successful small computer with a graphical user interface. The development of the Mac was started by Jef Raskin, and eventually taken over by Jobs.

While Jobs was a persuasive and charismatic director for Apple, some of his employees from that time had described him as an erratic and temperamental manager. An industry-wide sales slump towards the end of 1984 caused a deterioration in Jobs' working relationship with Sculley, and at the end of May 1985—following an internal power struggle and an announcement of significant layoffs because of disappointing sales at the time—Sculley relieved Jobs of his duties as head of the Macintosh division.[54][55] Jobs later claimed that being fired from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to him; "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."[56]

NeXT Computer
After leaving Apple, Jobs founded NeXT Computer in 1985 with $7 million. A year later, Jobs was running out of money, and with no product on the horizon, he appealed for venture capital. Eventually, he attracted the attention of billionaire Ross Perot who invested heavily in the company.[57] NeXT workstations were first released in 1990, priced at $9,999. Like the Apple Lisa, the NeXT workstation was technologically advanced, but was largely dismissed as cost-prohibitive by the educational sector for which it was designed.[58] The NeXT workstation was known for its technical strengths, chief among them its object-oriented software development system. Jobs marketed NeXT products to the financial, scientific, and academic community, highlighting its innovative, experimental new technologies, such as the Mach kernel, the digital signal processor chip, and the built-in Ethernet port.

The revised, second-generation NeXTcube was released in 1990 also. Jobs touted it as the first "interpersonal" computer which would replace the personal computer. With its innovative NeXTMail multimedia email system, NeXTcube could share voice, image, graphics, and video in email for the first time. "Interpersonal computing is going to revolutionise human communications and groupwork", Jobs told reporters.[59] Jobs ran NeXT with an obsession for aesthetic perfection, as evidenced by the development of and attention to NeXTcube's magnesium case.[60] This put considerable strain on NeXT's hardware division, and in 1993, after having sold only 50,000 machines, NeXT transitioned fully to software development with the release of NeXTSTEP/Intel.[61] The company reported its first profit of $1.03 million in 1994.[57] In 1996, NeXT Software, Inc. released WebObjects, a framework for web application development. After NeXT was acquired by Apple Inc. in 1997, WebObjects was used to build and run the Apple Store,[61] MobileMe services, and the iTunes Store.

Pixar and Disney
In 1986, Jobs bought The Graphics Group (later renamed Pixar) from Lucasfilm's computer graphics division for the price of $10 million, $5 million of which was given to the company as capital.[62]

The new company, which was originally based at Lucasfilm's Kerner Studios in San Rafael, California, but has since relocated to Emeryville, California, was initially intended to be a high-end graphics hardware developer. After years of unprofitability selling the Pixar Image Computer, it contracted with Disney to produce a number of computer-animated feature films, which Disney would co-finance and distribute.

The first film produced by the partnership, Toy Story, brought fame and critical acclaim to the studio when it was released in 1995. Over the next 15 years, under Pixar's creative chief John Lasseter, the company would produce the box-office hits A Bug's Life (1998); Toy Story 2 (1999); Monsters, Inc. (2001); Finding Nemo (2003); The Incredibles (2004); Cars (2006); Ratatouille (2007); WALL-E (2008); Up (2009); and Toy Story 3 (2010). Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up and Toy Story 3 each received the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, an award introduced in 2001.



Steve Jobs on computer graphics. Interview excerpt from 1995.[63]In the years 2003 and 2004, as Pixar's contract with Disney was running out, Jobs and Disney chief executive Michael Eisner tried but failed to negotiate a new partnership,[64] and in early 2004 Jobs announced that Pixar would seek a new partner to distribute its films once its contract with Disney expired.

In October 2005, Bob Iger replaced Eisner at Disney, and Iger quickly worked to patch up relations with Jobs and Pixar. On January 24, 2006, Jobs and Iger announced that Disney had agreed to purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. Once the deal closed, Jobs became The Walt Disney Company's largest single shareholder with approximately 7% of the company's stock.[14] Jobs' holdings in Disney far exceed those of Eisner, who holds 1.7%, and of Disney family member Roy E. Disney, who until his 2009 death held about 1% of the company's stock and whose criticisms of Eisner—especially that he soured Disney's relationship with Pixar—accelerated Eisner's ousting. Jobs joined the company's board of directors upon completion of the merger. Jobs also helped oversee Disney and Pixar's combined animation businesses with a seat on a special six person steering committee.

Return to Apple
In 1996, Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $429 million. The deal was finalized in late 1996,[65] bringing Jobs back to the company he had co-founded. Jobs became de facto chief after then-CEO Gil Amelio was ousted in July. He was formally named interim chief executive in September 1997.[66] In March 1998, to concentrate Apple's efforts on returning to profitability, Jobs terminated a number of projects, such as Newton, Cyberdog, and OpenDoc. In the coming months, many employees developed a fear of encountering Jobs while riding in the elevator, "afraid that they might not have a job when the doors opened. The reality was that Jobs' summary executions were rare, but a handful of victims was enough to terrorize a whole company."[67] Jobs also changed the licensing program for Macintosh clones, making it too costly for the manufacturers to continue making machines.

With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products, most notably NeXTSTEP, which evolved into Mac OS X. Under Jobs' guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products; since then, appealing designs and powerful branding have worked well for Apple. At the 2000 Macworld Expo, Jobs officially dropped the "interim" modifier from his title at Apple and became permanent CEO.[68] Jobs quipped at the time that he would be using the title 'iCEO.'[69]

The company subsequently branched out, introducing and improving upon other digital appliances. With the introduction of the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iTunes Store, the company made forays into consumer electronics and music distribution. On June 29, 2007, Apple entered the cellular phone business with the introduction of the iPhone, a multi-touch display cell phone, which also included the features of an iPod and, with its own mobile browser, revolutionized the mobile browsing scene. While stimulating innovation, Jobs also reminded his employees that "real artists ship",[citation needed] by which he meant that delivering working products on time is as important as innovation and attractive design.


Jobs speaking with journalist Walt Mossberg at the All Things Digital conference in 2007.Jobs was both admired and criticized for his consummate skill at persuasion and salesmanship, which has been dubbed the "reality distortion field" and was particularly evident during his keynote speeches (colloquially known as "Stevenotes") at Macworld Expos and at Apple Worldwide Developers Conferences.

In 2005, Jobs responded to criticism of Apple's poor recycling programs for e-waste in the U.S. by lashing out at environmental and other advocates at Apple's Annual Meeting in Cupertino in April. However, a few weeks later, Apple announced it would take back iPods for free at its retail stores. The Computer TakeBack Campaign responded by flying a banner from a plane over the Stanford University graduation at which Jobs was the commencement speaker.[44] The banner read "Steve—Don't be a mini-player recycle all e-waste". In 2006, he further expanded Apple's recycling programs to any U.S. customer who buys a new Mac. This program includes shipping and "environmentally friendly disposal" of their old systems.[70]

我最欣赏的一句话
I've got it down to four words: "Do what you love." Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is 'no', keep looking, you'll know when you find it.

Resignation
In August 2011, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple, but remained at the company as chairman of the company's board.[71][72] Hours after the announcement, Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares dropped 5% in after-hour trading.[73] The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that Jobs' health had been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011.[74] It was believed, according to Forbes, that the impact would be felt in a negative way beyond Apple, including at The Walt Disney Company where Jobs served as director.[75] In after-hour trading on the day of the announcement, Walt Disney Co. (DIS) shares dropped 1.5%.[76]

Business life
WealthEven though Jobs earned only $1 a year as CEO of Apple,[77] he held 5.426 million Apple shares, as well as 138 million shares in Disney (which he had received in exchange for Disney's acquisition of Pixar).[78] Jobs quipped that the $1 per annum he was paid by Apple was based on attending one meeting for 50 cents while the other 50 cents was based on his performance. [79] Forbes estimated his net wealth at $8.3 billion in 2010, making him the 42nd wealthiest American.[80]

[edit] Stock options backdating issueIn 2001, Jobs was granted stock options in the amount of 7.5 million shares of Apple with an exercise price of $18.30. It was alleged that the options had been backdated, and that the exercise price should have been $21.10. It was further alleged that Jobs had thereby incurred taxable income of $20,000,000 that he did not report, and that Apple overstated its earnings by that same amount. As a result, Jobs potentially faced a number of criminal charges and civil penalties. The case is the subject of active criminal and civil government investigations,[81] though an independent internal Apple investigation completed on December 29, 2006, found that Jobs was unaware of these issues and that the options granted to him were returned without being exercised in 2003.[82] On July 1, 2008, a $7 billion class action suit was filed against several members of the Apple Board of Directors for revenue lost due to the alleged securities fraud.[83][84]

[edit] Management style
Jobs demonstrating the iPhone 4 to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on June 23, 2010Jobs was a demanding perfectionist[85][86][87] who always aspired to position his businesses and their products at the forefront of the information technology industry by foreseeing and setting trends, at least in innovation and style. He summed up that self-concept at the end of his keynote speech at the Macworld Conference and Expo in January 2007 by quoting ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky:

There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will.[88]

Much was made of Jobs' aggressive and demanding personality. Fortune wrote that he was "considered one of Silicon Valley's leading egomaniacs".[89] Commentaries on his temperamental style can be found in Mike Moritz's The Little Kingdom,The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, by Alan Deutschman; and iCon: Steve Jobs, by Jeffrey S. Young & William L. Simon. In 1993, Jobs made Fortune's list of America's Toughest Bosses in regard to his leadership of NeXT. Cofounder Dan'l Lewin was quoted in Fortune as saying of that period, "The highs were unbelievable ... But the lows were unimaginable", to which Jobs' office replied that his personality had changed since then.[90]

In 2005, Jobs banned all books published by John Wiley & Sons from Apple Stores in response to their publishing an unauthorized biography, iCon: Steve Jobs.[91] In its 2010 annual earnings report, Wiley said it had "closed a deal ... to make its titles available for the iPad."[92]

Jef Raskin, a former colleague, once said that Jobs "would have made an excellent king of France," alluding to Jobs' compelling and larger-than-life persona.[93]

Floyd Norman said that at Pixar, Jobs was a "mature, mellow individual" and never interfered with the creative process of the filmmakers.[94]

[edit] InventionsJobs is listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor in 338 US patents or patent applications related to a range of technologies from actual computer and portable devices to user interfaces (including touch-based), speakers, keyboards, power adapters, staircases, clasps, sleeves, lanyards and packages.[95][96]

[edit] PhilanthropyArik Hesseldahl of BusinessWeek magazine opined that "Jobs isn't widely known for his association with philanthropic causes", compared to Bill Gates' efforts.[97] After resuming control of Apple in 1997, Jobs eliminated all corporate philanthropy programs.[98]

Personal life
Jobs married Laurene Powell on March 18, 1991. Presiding over the wedding was the Zen Buddhist monk Kobun Chino Otogawa.[99] The couple have a son and two daughters.[100] Jobs also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs (born 1978), from his relationship with Bay Area painter Chrisann Brennan.[101] She briefly raised their daughter on welfare when Jobs denied paternity by claiming he was sterile; he later acknowledged Lisa as his daughter.[101]

In the unauthorized biography, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, author Alan Deutschman reports that Jobs once dated Joan Baez. Deutschman quotes Elizabeth Holmes, a friend of Jobs from his time at Reed College, as saying she "believed that Steve became the lover of Joan Baez in large measure because Baez had been the lover of Bob Dylan" (Dylan was the Apple icon's favorite musician). The biography also notes that Jobs went out with actress Diane Keaton briefly.[citation needed] In another unauthorized biography, iCon: Steve Jobs by Jeffrey S. Young & William L. Simon, the authors suggest that Jobs might have married Baez, but her age at the time (41) meant it was unlikely the couple could have children.

Jobs was also a fan of The Beatles. He referred to them on multiple occasions at Keynotes and also was interviewed on a showing of a Paul McCartney concert. When asked about his business model on 60 Minutes, he replied:

My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are never done by one person, they are done by a team of people.[102]

In 1982, Jobs bought an apartment in The San Remo, an apartment building in New York City with a politically progressive reputation, where Demi Moore, Steven Spielberg, Steve Martin, and Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, daughter of Rita Hayworth, also had apartments. With the help of I.M. Pei, Jobs spent years renovating his apartment in the top two floors of the building's north tower, only to sell it almost two decades later to U2 singer Bono. Jobs had never moved in.[103][104]

In 1984, Jobs purchased a 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m2), 14-bedroom Spanish Colonial mansion, designed by George Washington Smith, in Woodside, California (also known as Jackling House). Although it reportedly remained in an almost unfurnished state, Jobs lived in the mansion for almost ten years. According to reports, he kept an old BMW motorcycle in the living room, and let Bill Clinton use it in 1998. From the early 1990s, Jobs lived in a house in the Old Palo Alto neighborhood of Palo Alto. President Clinton dined with Jobs and 14 Silicon Valley CEOs there on August 7, 1996, at a meal catered by Greens Restaurant.[105][106] Clinton returned the favor and Jobs, who was a Democratic donor, slept in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House.[107]

Jobs allowed Jackling House to fall into a state of disrepair, planning to demolish the house and build a smaller home on the property; but he met with complaints from local preservationists over his plans. In June 2004, the Woodside Town Council gave Jobs approval to demolish the mansion, on the condition that he advertise the property for a year to see if someone would move it to another location and restore it. A number of people expressed interest, including several with experience in restoring old property, but no agreements to that effect were reached. Later that same year, a local preservationist group began seeking legal action to prevent demolition. In January 2007 Jobs was denied the right to demolish the property, by a court decision.[108] The court decision was overturned on appeal in March 2010 and the mansion was demolished beginning February 2011.[109]

Jobs usually wore a black long-sleeved mock turtleneck made by St. Croix, Levi's 501 blue jeans, and New Balance 991 sneakers.[110] He was a pescetarian, one whose diet includes fish but no other meat.[111][112]

His car was a silver 2008 Mercedes SL 55 AMG, which does not display its license plates.[113][114]

Jobs had a public war of words with Dell Computer CEO Michael Dell, starting[when?] when Jobs first criticized Dell for making "un-innovative beige boxes".[115] On October 6, 1997, in a Gartner Symposium, when Michael Dell was asked what he would do if he owned then-troubled Apple Computer, he said "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."[116] In 2006, Jobs sent an email to all employees when Apple's market capitalization rose above Dell's. The email read:

Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve.[117]

Health
Jobs at the 2008 Macworld Conference & ExpoIn mid-2004, Jobs announced to his employees that he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas.[118] The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is usually very poor; Jobs, however, stated that he had a rare, far less aggressive type known as islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.[118] Jobs resisted his doctors' recommendations for evidence-based medical intervention for nine months,[119] instead consuming a special alternative medicine diet to thwart the disease, before eventually undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure") in July 2004 that appeared to successfully remove the tumor.[120][121] Jobs apparently did not require nor receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.[118][122] During Jobs' absence, Timothy D. Cook, head of worldwide sales and operations at Apple, ran the company.[118]

In early August 2006, Jobs delivered the keynote for Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. His "thin, almost gaunt" appearance and unusually "listless" delivery,[123][124] together with his choice to delegate significant portions of his keynote to other presenters, inspired a flurry of media and Internet speculation about his health.[125] In contrast, according to an Ars Technica journal report, WWDC attendees who saw Jobs in person said he "looked fine".[126] Following the keynote, an Apple spokesperson said that "Steve's health is robust."[127]

[edit] 2008 developmentTwo years later, similar concerns followed Jobs' 2008 WWDC keynote address.[128] Apple officials stated Jobs was victim to a "common bug" and was taking antibiotics,[129] while others surmised his cachectic appearance was due to the Whipple procedure.[130] During a July conference call discussing Apple earnings, participants responded to repeated questions about Jobs' health by insisting that it was a "private matter". Others, however, voiced the opinion that shareholders had a right to know more, given Jobs' hands-on approach to running his company.[131] The New York Times published an article based on an off-the-record phone conversation with Jobs, noting that "while his health issues have amounted to a good deal more than 'a common bug,' they weren't life-threatening and he doesn't have a recurrence of cancer."[132]

On August 28, 2008, Bloomberg mistakenly published a 2500-word obituary of Jobs in its corporate news service, containing blank spaces for his age and cause of death. (News carriers customarily stockpile up-to-date obituaries to facilitate news delivery in the event of a well-known figure's untimely death.) Although the error was promptly rectified, many news carriers and blogs reported on it,[133][134] intensifying rumors concerning Jobs' health.[135] Jobs responded at Apple's September 2008 Let's Rock keynote by quoting Mark Twain: "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."[136] At a subsequent media event, Jobs concluded his presentation with a slide reading "110/70", referring to his blood pressure, stating he would not address further questions about his health.[137]

On December 16, 2008, Apple announced that marketing vice-president Phil Schiller would deliver the company's final keynote address at the Macworld Conference and Expo 2009, again reviving questions about Jobs' health.[138][139] In a statement given on January 5, 2009 on Apple.com,[140] Jobs said that he had been suffering from a "hormone imbalance" for several months.[141] 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. Tim Cook, who had previously acted as CEO in Jobs' 2004 absence, became acting CEO of Apple,[142] with Jobs still involved with "major strategic decisions."[142]

In April 2009, Jobs underwent a liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis, Tennessee.[143] Jobs' prognosis was "excellent".[143]

[edit] 2011 medical leave and resignationOn 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". As during his 2009 medical leave, Apple announced that Tim Cook would run day-to-day operations and that Jobs would continue to be involved in major strategic decisions at the company.[144][145] Despite the leave, he made appearances at the iPad 2 launch event (March 2), the WWDC keynote introducing iCloud (June 6), and before the Cupertino city council (June 7).[146]

Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO on August 24, 2011. In his resignation letter, Jobs wrote that he could "no longer meet [his] duties and expectations as Apple's CEO".[147]

[edit] DeathJobs died at his home on October 5, 2011. His death was announced by Apple in a statement which read:

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today. 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. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."[148]
Jobs' family released a statement saying that he had "died peacefully".[149][150]

Also since October 5, 2011, Apple's corporate website greeted visitors with a simple page showing Jobs' name and lifespan next to his greyscale portrait. Clicking on Jobs' image led to an obituary that read "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." An email address was also posted for the public to share their memories, condolences, and thoughts.[151] [152]

Jobs is survived by his wife, Laurene, to whom he was married for 20 years; their three children, Reed (born 1991), Erin (born 1995), and Eve (born 1998); and by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, his daughter from a previous relationship.[153]

Statements reacting to Jobs' death were released by several notable people, including U.S. President Barack Obama[154], Microsoft founder Bill Gates,[155] and The Walt Disney Company's Bob Iger. Wired News collected reactions and posted them in tribute on their homepage.[156] Other statements of condolences were issued by the likes of Steven Spielberg, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Wozniak, Alan Sugar and George Lucas.[157][158][159][160]

[edit] HonorsPartly due to his youth and charisma,[verification needed] after Apple's founding, Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry. When Time named the computer as the 1982 "Machine of the Year", the magazine published a long profile of Steve as "the most famous maestro of the micro".[161][162]

Jobs was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 with Steve Wozniak (among the first people to ever receive the honor),[163] and a Jefferson Award for Public Service in the category "Greatest Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Under" (also known as the Samuel S. Beard Award) in 1987.[164] On November 27, 2007, Jobs was named the most powerful person in business by Fortune Magazine.[165] On December 5, 2007, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Jobs into the California Hall of Fame, located at The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts.[166]

In August 2009, Jobs was selected as the most admired entrepreneur among teenagers in a survey by Junior Achievement.[167] On November 5, 2009, Jobs was named the CEO of the decade by Fortune Magazine.[23] In September 2011, Jobs was ranked No.17 on Forbes: The World's Most Powerful People.[168] In December 2010, the Financial Times named Jobs its person of the year for 2010, ending its essay by stating, "In his autobiography, John Sculley, the former PepsiCo executive who once ran Apple, said this of the ambitions of the man he had pushed out: 'Apple was supposed to become a wonderful consumer products company. This was a lunatic plan. High-tech could not be designed and sold as a consumer product.' How wrong can you be".[169]

After his resignation as Apple's CEO, Jobs was characterized as the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford of his time.[170][171]

[edit] In the mediaJobs was prominently featured in four productions about the history of the personal computing industry:

Triumph of the Nerds—a 1996 three-part documentary for PBS, about the rise of the home computer/personal computer.
Nerds 2.0.1—a 1998 three-part documentary for PBS, (and sequel to Triumph of the Nerds) which chronicles the development of the Internet.
Pirates of Silicon Valley—a 1999 docudrama which chronicles the rise of Apple and Microsoft. He was portrayed by Noah Wyle.
The Machine that Changed the World (1992)—Part 3 of this 5-part documentary, called The Paperback Computer, prominently featured Jobs and his role in the early days of Apple.

Don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.

I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

北京时间10月6日消息，据国外媒体报道，苹果董事长、前首席执行官史蒂夫乔布斯（Steve Jobs）今日辞世，享年56岁。

在悼念这位著名的人才领袖的同时，苹果内部员工回忆了与乔布斯共事时的点点滴滴。

扁平结构

在制定产品决策时，苹果的效率是非常高的，而且也非常客观。 公司的重点从来也不会出现混乱，从上到下，公司各级员工都清楚地知道公司的产品开发战略。乔布斯、iPhone软件主管斯科特福斯托（Forstall Scott）、前软件总裁伯特兰瑟雷特（Bertrand Serlet）、提姆库克，人人都知道苹果该怎么做以及苹果正在做什么，他们知道公司里的发生的一切事情。

苹果采用的是一种非常扁平的组织结构，没有太多的管理层次，他们都参与其中。从我到乔布斯，总共也就只有5、6级管理层，我的直接领导是营销总裁菲 尔席勒（Phil Schiller）。 这些高管每天晚上还要发送邮件到深夜，有时可能还会拖到后半夜。苹果是世界上最大的公司之一，全公司所有人都兢兢业业，因为他们知道自己在做什么。 我处于这个组织的最底层，但是我在工作时也会经常问自己，我是否应该将这个东西展示给乔布斯看看，他会跟我说些什么？ 只要人们还在不断向自己提问，我相信苹果就会继续向前发展。

——麦特德兰斯（Matt Drance），2001年5月至2009年7月曾在苹果担任开发员传道者，现在经营着Bookhouse Software公司

史蒂夫无处不在

我在苹果担任工程师的那些年里，我只是在公司大门处看到过乔布斯，我们从未交谈过，我也从未向他介绍过自己。虽然如此，但他却完全控制着我的工作。 当时我正在为专业视频编辑工作者开发一款新产品，虽然我们的团队跟乔布斯没什么关系，但仍然必须每季度向他做一次演示。现在回想起来，真是难以想象他那个 时候到底要在公司里参加多少那种会议。 我从未在其他地方看到过这样的管理方式，这肯定要耗费他不少的精力和时间。

我们遇到过几次束手无策的情况。我们在办公室里等候裁决，设计师则在隔壁向乔布斯做演示。 有很多次，他根本没有明白我们正在演示的新功能，因为他可能马上就把重点放在了用户界面上的一个没有设计好的视觉元素上，也许是按钮设计得不好，字体没有 校准，或者控制板上有太多的按钮，而我们从未注意过那些东西。 我们所有的工作都是不足道的，如果没有他的监督，我们就不可能取得成功。

一开始我发现这一点非常令人失望。我感觉他是否过分强调不重要的细节了。 难道他不能透过表象看到我们编写的动人代码吗？ 我们解决的都是大难题，有点小瑕疵又怎么样呢？ 我花了很长时间才意识到他的方法有多么地有效。因为我们知道，任何表面上的瑕疵都可能否定我们所做的一切工作，用户体验是第一位的。 我们开始考虑乔布斯会对我们正在考虑的修改提出什么样的意见，他会经常参与到我们的讨论中来。

有些现象在其他公司可能是完全合理的，但是如果我们解决了那些问题，我们的生活将会变得更加容易。 我们知道他有至高无上的否决权，如果他认为用户体验会受到威胁，他一定会行使他的否决权，正应为如此，我们被迫要做得更好，养成了精益求精的工作作风。他 的要求虽然不近人情，但却是至理名言，他教会我们一个道理：开发产品是为了取悦他人，而不是令自己满足。

——彼特沃登（Pete Warden），2003年7月到2008年7月期间在苹果工作，现在经营着OpenHeatMap，同时在Jetpac担任首席技术官。

如果乔布斯从未出现过，世界会是什么样的？

试想一下，如果乔布斯从未存在过，今天的社会会是什么样的？ 没有乔布斯，就没有苹果II、Macintosh、鼠标、让电脑为非技术专业人士所用、利用iPod和iTunes重振音乐行业、重振电影行业、利用皮克 斯让动画片事业焕发新生、利用iPhone重振个人通信行业，也就没有最新的iPad，乔布斯是很多社会变革中最基本的元素之一，其中任何一项变革都可以 让大多数人成就一番事业。

我之所以有今天，也是因为乔布斯，因为他培养的公司、产品和技术；更重要的是，因为他招揽的人才，因为他所宣扬的思维和态度已经成为我生活的关键组成部分。我之所以有今天，完全是因为乔布斯和他过去所做的事，他创造的机会，他对周围的人的影响和期望。

有一次在Infinite Loop 1外面，我差点就撞到他。当时我赶着去参加一项会议，而他则刚好进入大街，iPod部门主管约恩鲁宾斯坦（Jon Rubinstein）和iTunes部门主管艾德库（Eddy Cue）跟在他的后面。还有一次则刚好相反，他可能正急着去工作，而我正站在同一条人行横道上。

史蒂夫可能是一个倔强而且很严厉的人，但是他怎么要求别人，他也会怎么要求自己。他曾参与过我在苹果的其中一个项目，我负责团队，史蒂夫则负责在广告播出前检查广告拷贝并标出变化。 他总是关注细节，而且他总是正确的。

现在，史蒂夫离开了我们，但他的记忆和精神将永远存在，并继续推动和改变我们生活的这个世界。没人可以替代乔布斯，他是独一无二的。 我们每个人都可以选择做点事来填补他的离开造成的空白。如果我们这么做的话，我们就可以帮助他完成遗愿，让世界变得更加美好。 我因为受到他的影响而获益良多，但却无以为报，但我可以努力推动他的理想前进。

-楚奇范罗斯帕克（Chuq von Rospach），从1989年到2009年9月，他在苹果工作了17年的时间；现在在惠普公司工作。

满足最高标准的无情要求以及日常生活中的魔术

“那都是真的。”正是这句话让我接受了苹果的工作。是的，那都是真的。史蒂夫的苹果公司拥有全世界最聪明的人才、启迪新思想所必需的细微混乱以及满 足最高标准的无情要求。 史蒂夫乔布斯曾经被同时描述为“卓越的”和“刻薄的”人。卓越是因为他极富洞察力和远见，刻薄是因为他会让你知道你是想法缺乏洞察力或远见。

功能评测总是充满压力。史蒂夫喜欢这种想法吗？ 一个偶然的因素会干扰会议的议程吗？ 它是否会被当场否决？ 如果真是那样，你可能会怒气冲冲地坐在办公桌前生闷气，但是你不得不承认，他的理由是对的。这就是苹果内部的压力，平庸的产品绝不会让这个世界变得更加美 好。 追求卓越和关注细节的企业文化早就扎根于公司的高层。

敬佩乔布斯！

大力支持啊！！

斯蒂夫．乔布斯：我生命中的三个故事  (2005)   斯蒂夫．乔布斯：我生命中的三个故事  — —苹果电脑的CEO斯蒂夫．乔布斯在今年6月12日斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。    第一个故事：串起生命中的点点滴滴　　   我在里德大学呆了6个月就退学了，但之后仍作为旁听生混了18个月后才最终离开。我为什么要退学呢？   故事要从我出生之前开始说起。我的生母是一名年轻的未婚妈妈，当时她还是一所大学的在读研究生，于是决定把我送给其他人收养。她坚持我应该被一对念过大学的夫妇收养，所以在我出生的时候，她已经为我被一个律师和他的太太收养做好了所有的准备。但在最后一刻，这对夫妇改了主意，决定收养一个女孩。侯选名单上的另外一对夫妇，也就是我的养父母，在一天午夜接到了一通电话：“有一个不请自来的男婴，你们想收养吗？”他们回答：“当然想。”事后，我的生母才发现我的养母根本就没有从大学毕业，而我的养父甚至连高中都没有毕业，所以她拒绝签署最后的收养文件，直到几个月后，我的养父母保证会把我送到大学，她的态度才有所转变。   17年之后，我真上了大学。但因为年幼无知，我选择了一所和斯坦福一样昂贵的大学，（笑声）我的父母都是工人阶级，他们倾其所有资助我的学业。在6个月之后，我发现自己完全不知道这样念下去究竟有什么用。当时，我的人生漫无目标，也不知道大学对我能起到什么帮助，为了念书，还花光了父母毕生的积蓄，所以我决定退学。我相信车到山前必有路。当时作这个决定的时候非常害怕，但现在回头去看，这是我这一生所作出的最正确的决定之一。（笑声）从我退学那一刻起，我就再也不用去上那些我毫无兴趣的必修课了，我开始旁听那些看来比较有意思的科目。   这件事情做起来一点都不浪漫。因为没有自己的宿舍，我只能睡在朋友房间的地板上；可乐瓶的押金是5分钱，我把瓶子还回去好用押金买吃的；在每个周日的晚上，我都会步行7英里穿越市区，到HareKrishna教堂吃一顿大餐，我喜欢那儿的食物。我跟随好奇心和直觉所做的事情，事后证明大多数都是极其珍贵的经验。   我举一个例子：那个时候，里德大学提供了全美国最好的书法教育。整个校园的每一张海报，每一个抽屉上的标签，都是漂亮的手写体。由于已经退学，不用再去上那些常规的课程，于是我选择了一个书法班，想学学怎么写出一手漂亮字。在这个班上，我学习了各种衬线和无衬线字体，如何改变不同字体组合之间的字间距，以及如何做出漂亮的版式。那是一种科学永远无法捕捉的充满美感、历史感和艺术感的微妙，我发现这太有意思了。   当时，我压根儿没想到这些知识会在我的生命中有什么实际运用价值；但是10年之后，当我们的设计第一款Macintosh电脑的候，这些东西全派上了用场。我把它们全部设计进了Mac，这是第一台可以排出好看版式的电脑。如果当时我大学里没有旁听这门课程的话，Mac就不会提供各种字体和等间距字体。自从视窗系统抄袭了Mac以后，（鼓掌大笑）所有的个人电脑都有了这些东西。如果我没有退学，我就不会去书法班旁听，而今天的个人电脑大概也就不会有出色的版式功能。当然我在念大学的那会儿，不可能有先见之明，把那些生命中的点点滴滴都串起来；但10年之后再回头看，生命的轨迹变得非常清楚。   再强调一次，你不可能充满预见地将生命的点滴串联起来；只有在你回头看的时候，你才会发现这些点点滴滴之间的联系。所以，你要坚信，你现在所经历的将在你未来的生命中串联起来。你不得不相信某些东西，你的直觉，命运，生活，因缘际会……正是这种信仰让我不会失去希望，它让我的人生变得与众不同。 　   我的第二个故事是关于爱与失去。   我是幸运的，在年轻的时候就知道了自己爱做什么。在我20岁的时候，就和沃兹在我父母的车库里开创了苹果电脑公司。我们勤奋工作，只用了10年的时间，苹果电脑就从车库里的两个小伙子扩展成拥有4000名员工，价值达到20亿美元的企业。而在此之前的一年，我们刚推出了我们最好的产品Macintosh电脑，当时我刚过而立之年。然后，我就被炒了鱿鱼。一个人怎么可以被他所创立的公司解雇呢？（笑声）这么说吧，随着苹果的成长，我们请了一个原本以为很能干的家伙和我一起管理这家公司，在头一年左右，他干得还不错，但后来，我们对公司未来的前景出现了分歧，于是我们之间出现了矛盾。由于公司的董事会站在他那一边，所以在我30岁的时候，就被踢出了局。我失去了一直贯穿在我整个成年生活的重心，打击是毁灭性的。   在头几个月，我真不知道要做些什么。我觉得我让企业界的前辈们失望了，我失去了传到我手上的指挥棒。我遇到了戴维．帕卡德（普惠的创办人之一——译注）和鲍勃．诺伊斯（英特尔的创办人之一——译注），我向他们道歉，因为我把事情搞砸了。我成了人人皆知的失败者，我甚至想过逃离硅谷。但曙光渐渐出现，我还是喜欢我做过的事情。在苹果电脑发生的一切丝毫没有改变我，一个比特（bit）都没有。虽然被抛弃了，但我的热忱不改。我决定重新开始。   我当时没有看出来，但事实证明，我被苹果开掉是我这一生所经历过的最棒的事情。成功的沉重被凤凰涅盘的轻盈所代替，每件事情都不再那么确定，我以自由之躯进入了我整个生命当中最有创意的时期。   在接下来的5年里，我开创了一家叫做NeXT的公司，接着是一家名叫Pixar的公司，并且接识了后来成为我妻子的曼妙女郎。Pixar制作了世界上第一部全电脑动画电影《玩具总动员》，现在这家公司是世界上最成功的动画制作公司之一。（掌声）后来经历一系列的事件，苹果买下了NeXT，于是我又回到了苹果，我们在NeXT研发出的技术在推动苹果复兴的核心动力。我和劳伦斯也拥有了美满的家庭。   我非常肯定，如果没有被苹果炒掉，这一切都不可能在我身上发生。对于病人来说，良药总是苦口。生活有时候就像一块板砖拍向你的脑袋，但不要丧失信心。热爱我所从事的工作，是一直支持我不断前进的惟一理由。你得找出你的最爱，对工作如此，对爱人亦是如此。工作将占据你生命中相当大的一部分，从事你认为具有非凡意义的工作，方能给你带来真正的满足感。而从事一份伟大工作的惟一方法，就是去热爱这份工作。如果你到现在还没有找到这样一份工作，那么就继续找。不要安于现状，当万事了于心的时候，你就会知道何时能找到。如同任何伟大的浪漫关系一样，伟大的工作只会在岁月的酝酿中越陈越香。所以，在你终有所获之前，不要停下你寻觅的脚步。不要停下。   我的第三个故事是关于死亡。   在17岁的时候，我读过一句格言，好像是：“如果你把每一天都当成你生命里的最后一天，你将在某一天发现原来一切皆在掌握之中。”（笑声）这句话从我读到之日起，就对我产生了深远的影响。在过去的33年里，我每天早晨都对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的末日，我还愿意做我今天本来应该做的事情吗？”当一连好多天答案都否定的时候，我就知道做出改变的时候到了。   提醒自己行将入土是我在面临人生中的重大抉择时，最为重要的工具。   因为所有的事情——外界的期望、所有的尊荣、对尴尬和失败的惧怕——在面对死亡的时候，都将烟消云散，只留下真正重要的东西。在我所知道的各种方法中，提醒自己即将死去是避免掉入畏惧失去这个陷阱的最好办法。人赤条条地来，赤条条地走，没有理由不听从你内心的呼唤。   大约一年前，我被诊断出癌症。在早晨7：30我做了一个检查，扫描结果清楚地显示我的胰脏出现了一个肿瘤。我当时甚至不知道胰脏究竟是什么。医生告诉我，几乎可以确定这是一种不治之症，顶多还能活3至6个月。大夫建议我回家，把诸事安排妥当，这是医生对临终病人的标准用语。这意味着你得把你今后10年要对你的子女说的话用几个月的时间说完；这意味着你得把一切都安排妥当，尽可能减少你的家人在你身后的负担；这意味着向众人告别的时间到了。   我整天都想着诊断结果。那天晚上做了一个切片检查，医生把一个内诊镜从我的喉管伸进去，穿过我的胃进入肠道，将探针伸进胰脏，从肿瘤上取出了几个细胞。我打了镇静剂，但我的太太当时在场，她后来告诉我说，当大夫们从显微镜下观察了细胞组织之后，都哭了起来，因为那是一非常罕见的，可以通过手术治疗的胰脏癌。我接受了手术，现在已经康复了。   这是我最接近死亡的一次，我希望在随后的几十年里，都不要有比这一次更接近死亡的经历。在经历了这次与死神擦肩而过的经验之后，死亡对我来说只是一项有效的判断工具，并且只是一个纯粹的理性概念时相比，我能够更肯定地告诉你们以下事实：没人想死；即使想去天堂的人，也是希望能活着进去。（笑声）死亡是我们每个人的人生终点站，没人能够成为例外。生命就是如此，因为死亡很可能是生命最好的造物，它是生命更迭的媒介，送走耋耄老者，给新生代让路。现在你们还是新生代，但不久的将来你们也将逐渐老去，被送出人生的舞台。很抱歉说得这么富有戏剧性，但生命就是如此。   你们的时间有限，所以不要把时间浪费在别人的生活里。不要被条条框框束缚，否则你就生活在他人思考的结果里。不要让他人的观点所发出的噪音淹没你内心的声音。最为重要的是，要有遵从你的内心和直觉的勇气，它们可能已知道你其实想成为一个什么样的人。其他事物都是次要的。   在我年轻的时候，有一本非常棒的杂志叫《全球目录》（The　Whole　EarthCatalog），它被我们那一代人奉为圭臬。这本杂志的创办人是一个叫斯图尔特．布兰德的家伙，他住在Menlo　Park，距离这儿不远。他把这本杂志办得充满诗意。那是在60年代末期，个人电脑、桌面发排系统还没有出现，所以出版工具只有打字机、剪刀和宝丽来相机。这本杂志有点像印在纸上的Google，但那是在Google出现的35年前；它充满了理想色彩，内容都是些非常好用的工具和了不起的见解。   斯图尔特和他的团队做了几期《全球目录》，快无疾而终的时候，他们出版了最后一期。那是在70年代中期，我当时处在你们现在的年龄。在最后一期的封底有一张清晨乡间公路的照片，如果你喜欢搭车冒险旅行的话，经常会碰到的那种小路。在照片下面有一排字：物有所不足，智有所不明（Stay　Hungry.　Stay　Foolish.）这是他们停刊的告别留言。物有所不足，智有所不明。我总是以此自诩。现在，在你们毕业开始新生活的时候，我把这句话送给你们。   物有所不足，智有所不明。（Stay　Hungry.　Stay　Foolish.）   

活着就是为了改变世界，人有自己的理想才有自己的人生！

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ”-----Steve Jobs
