  • steve’s second act at apple is the greatest CEO achievement ever. literally turning a company from bankrupt to the most valuable company in the world.

    My aunt worked with Steve at Apple during early 2002. She said she was terrified of Steve and so were her colleagues. My aunt admired his visions but absolutely hated working with him.

    7:01 "Explain to me how somebody who was a hippie, a college dropout, somebody who drops LSD and marijuana, goes off to India and comes back deciding he wants to be a business man." He was in the right place at the right time. There's no better explanation. There was no other time in history when the beginnings of a far-reaching technology was so accessible that a couple of kids could build in their garage.
  • His family belonged to the same church as my uncle Mart and aunt Elsa. After church one day, they sat behind us and for some reason he wanted to go to the front as we were leaving. So there we were, face to face, unable to pass in the narrow aisle, and someone thought to introduce us. He may have been twelve at the time. I wish I had contacted him again later but that's life!

    GOOD 60 minutes archive that taught me so much about this great man: very rich, but not materialist and quite simple man, simple house and simple family life. I would suggest everyone to watch this and learn about him. Interesting man with an wonderful mind.

    Steve Jobs was the goat and will always be remembered
  • It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care about people.

    We miss you. This world is bleak w/o you😢

    this showed the iceberg under the cream top, people only usually hear what Steve Jobs did for others but never told the inside struggle we all have to get along with other and achieve our goals
  • @ptys.
    Steve Croft was such a hard-nose, no-nonsense reporter. Something 60 minutes today needs more of with their newer members.

    Steve Jobs was Leonardo da Vinci of our time! Genius!
  • He was a fascinating man in both good and bad ways. R.I.P. Steve. You definitely changed the world.

    I like how he goes from Ashton Kutcher in the 80's to Stanley Tucci in the 2000's.

    Wozniak, in an interview a few years ago, said: “Steve Jobs played no role at all in any of my designs of the Apple I and Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff that I made to enhance the computers. He did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted to be important, and the important people are always the business people. So that’s what he wanted to do.”
