The Passing of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, the co-founder and CEO of the company Apple Inc and CEO of Pixar Animation Studio passed on at the age of 56 on 5 October 2011. He is involved in revolutionising how the computers (Mac) work and is presented. From what I can remember, most computers were black or silver before. Macintosh came in colours. However, the Macintosh computers didn't really buy into consumers till years later when the MacBooks were launched. MacBooks has a sleek design and came in white. They were also known to have very good graphics which is why most designers used them previously but Apple made them a lot more affordable later to all who were interested to own one too regardless of whether you are a designer and interested in graphics or not. Apparently the nice fonts we get in computers were from Steve going for calligraphy classes after dropping out of college. And I am actually writing this post on our very own first MacBook.

I also recently own the iPhone 4, another revolutionary gadget in the 21st century. A gadget many out there are trying to compete with and copy. Steve Jobs and Co. somehow made people with an Apple gadget seem to be in a class of their own.

Then, Pixar, the company he founded several years after he was fired from his own company, Apple Inc., gave us some of the most memorable animations on the big screen in cinema. Toy Story is one of them. We recently watched Toy Story 3 earlier this year and your big che-che loves the 'A Busy Day' book and knows some of the characters well.

This is one of his famous speeches made at the Stanford University in 2005 tells a little of what Steve Jobs is like and what he has been through with some very inspiring words. He is hailed as a great innovator.

Thanks for all the greatness you brought into this world and especially reminding us to live life as how it should be led, to the fullest and not from others' point of view.
