Remember Steve Jobs today by revisiting the insanely great history of Apple.
“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough — it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing.” ~Steve Jobs, (Feb 24, 1955 - Oct 5, 2011)
This crazy Steve Jobs sculpture is supposedly made with a touch of Jobs’ stolen trash »
The sculpture, made by XVALA, is due to be shown at a gallery in Los Angeles starting early in October. As for the trash thing, Cory Allen Contemporary Art described it this way in the announcement of the piece:
Coated in an “Apple White finish,” the sculpture is cast in the artist’s patented plastic porcelain, mixed with a recycled resin made up of Steve Job’s residential trash which the artist collected from the tech icon’s home several months before his death.

If you purchased $1000 of Apple stock when Steve Jobs came back on board in the fall of 1997, your shares would be worth $30,463.50 today.
Mind-blowing
A well-known San Francisco Bay Area entertainer received a shock this month when he discovered his recently gifted iPad was (a) stolen and (b) actually belonged to the late Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs’ iPad is like the holy grail of tech… Congrats to Mr. Kenneth Kahn (better known to some by the moniker Kenny the Clown) for being able to play with it!

Google’s Nexus 7 has drawn rave reviews and retailers are running out of the popular gadget, fueling debate that the late Apple boss was wrong about smaller tablets…
So, Google has clearly proved Steve Jobs wrong?! Yes. Google’s Nexus 7 “may not be perfect, but its price and portability have made it a major competitor to the iPad.”

While American parents have been concerned with their lack of tiger discipline, the Chinese are looking for tips on raising their young from this side of the Pacific. China wants its own Steve Jobs, and it’s not sure how to find—or create—one. At times, the quest has reached the level of national campaign, with the government promising its prioritization and vowing to spend four per cent of the country’s G.D.P. on comprehensive education reform aimed, ultimately, at producing a Jobs to call its own.

First Apple computer fetches $374,000 »
The Apple l, the first Apple computer made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976, is seen on display at Sotheby’s on June 8 in New York City. A rare surviving first model of the Apple computer — a stripped down, clunky device that bears no resemblance to today’s sleek gadgets — sold for $374,000 at auction in New York.
I’ve noticed that Tumblr founder David Karp likes the same minimalistic workspace as Steve Jobs.
