An Apple Without The Jobs 2


Sometimes ago I wrote about Steve Jobs’ resignation as CEO of Apple. I intended to do another article on his contribution to IT development and excellent managerial skills and doggedness that turn the fortune of Apple around. Little did I know that he will pass on before I do the post. But it was obvious anyway, from his last outing for the company, that his health is failing him. Perhaps that necessitated the resignation from Apple as CEO.
On October 5th, 2011, however, the world lost one of the most important figures in technology we will likely ever see, Steve Jobs. He has been fighting pancreatic cancer for the last few years and has had stints on and off from his work as CEO of Apple. He succumbs to the sickness and peacefully passed away in comfort from his family (at his home) according to press release.He was 56years. In 15 years Steve Jobs has taken the brand we take for granted today, Apple, from close bankruptcy and a struggling computer business, to the highest earning technology company today.   He has made the brand the most sought after, and the coolest brand.  If you have a Macbook, or an iMac, an iPhone or and iPad, you have likely done so for the feeling of exclusivity and the cool factor.
Apple was all the inner workings of Steve Jobs, the mastermind, the visionary and the creative genius
Known as a hard ass and a tough boss, Steve Jobs made many unilateral decisions in his career, and for good measure. One thing that he was known for was not looking in the past to try to determine the future.   He believed that you could not achieve true innovation by looking at an innovation that had already taken place.  Being copied and being emulated is far more telling than copying something and making it better.
Definitely, Apple will miss him, the competitor will have a respite, and the IT world will not forget him
Adieu, Steve Jobs!
