Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)was an American businessman and inventor widely
recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution. He was co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Jobs also co-founded and 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.

and Syrian born Abdulfattah "John" Jandali who were both unmarried
at the time.He was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs.When asked about his "adoptive parents,"

later stated in his authorized biography that
they "were my parents 1,000%."[

After their tinkering resulted in the Apple I desktop computer in 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak found themselves at the forefront of an industry on the verge of an explosion. Their fledgling enterprise, the California-based Apple Computer, Inc.,quickly set the standard for personal computers and made the duo millionaires while still in their 20s.In the late 1970s, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak engineered one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. Jobs directed its aesthetic design and marketing along with A.C. "Mike" Markkula, Jr. and others. 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 Apple Lisa (engineered by Ken Rothmuller and John Couch) and, one year later, creation of Apple employee Jef Raskin’s Macintosh.

Death…
Steve Jobs’ speech at Stanford University
“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 other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuitions. They somehow already know, WHAT YOU TRULY WANT TO BECOME! Everything else, is secondary.”
