Tau iPad, IPhone, atau Macintosh?
APPLE, di pabrik inilah produk produk itu diciptakan. Namun, taukah kalian siapa pendiri Apple Inc?
We have an environment where excellence is really expected. What’s
really great is to be open when [the work] is not great. My best
contribution is not settling for anything but really good stuff, in
all the details. That’s my job — to make sure everything is
great.

When people look at an iMac, they think the design is really great, but most people don’t understand it’s not skin deep,’ he said. ‘There’s a reason why, after two years, people haven’t been able to copy the iMac. It’s not just surface. The reason the iMac doesn’t have a fan is engineering. It took a ton of engineering and that’s true for the Cube and everything else.

(on the iPod) If there was ever a product that catalyzed what’s Apple’s reason for being, it’s this. Because it combines Apple’s incredible technology base with Apple’s legendary ease of use with Apple’s awesome design… it’s like, this is what we do. So if anybody was ever wondering why is Apple on the earth, I would hold this up as a good example.

(about Microsoft) They are shamelessly trying to copy us. I think the most telling thing is that Tiger will ship at the end of the month and Longhorn is still two years out. They can't even copy fast.

When [people] see the iMac, for example, they think we really can produce industry-leading products like this. It's not about charisma and personality, it's about results and products and those very bedrock things that are why people at Apple and outside of Apple are getting more excited about the company and what Apple stands for and what its potential is to contribute to the industry.

I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.

It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them

APPLE, di pabrik inilah produk produk itu diciptakan. Namun, taukah kalian siapa pendiri Apple Inc?
Dialah Steven Paul Jobs yang akrab disebut Steve Jobs (lahir di San Francisco, California, Amerika Serikat, 24 Februari 1955 – meninggal di Palo Alto, California, Amerika Serikat, 5 Oktober 2011 pada umur 56 tahun) adalah seorang tokoh bisnis dan penemu Amerika Serikat. Ia adalah pendiri pendamping, chairman, dan mantan CEO Apple Inc. Jobs juga sebelumnya menjabat sebagai pejabat eksekutif Pixar Animation Studios; ia menjadi anggota dewan direktur The Walt Disney Company pada tahun 2006, setelah pengambilan alih Pixar oleh Disney. Namanya dicantumkan sebagai produser eksekutif dalam film Toy Story tahun 1995.
Pada akhir 1970-an, Jobs, bersama pendiri pendamping Apple Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula,
dan lainnya, merancang, mengembangkan, dan memasarkan salah satu
jajaran komputer pribadi pertama yang sukses secara komersial, yaitu seri Apple II. Pada awal 1980-an, Jobs termasuk orang-orang yang pertama kali melihat potensi komersial dari antarmuka pengguna grafis yang digerakkan PARC Xerox yang kemudian mendorong pembuatan Macintosh. Setelah kalah melawan keputusan dewan direktur tahun 1984, Jobs mengundurkan diri dari Apple dan mendirikan NeXT, sebuah perusahaan pengembangan platform komputer
yang berkecimpung dalam pasar pendidikan tinggi dan bisnis. Pembelian
NeXT oleh Apple pada tahun 1996 membawa kembali Jobs ke perusahaan yang
ia dirikan bersama, dan ia menjabat sebagai CEO-nya sejak 1997 hingga
2011.
Tahun 1986, ia mengambil alih divisi grafis komputer Lucasfilm Ltd yang kemudian menjadi Pixar Animation Studios.Ia menjadi CEO dan pemegang saham terbesarnya sebanyak 50,1% sampai diambil alih oleh The Walt Disney Company tahun 2006. Karena itu pula Jobs menjadi pemegang saham perorangan terbesar di Disney sebanyak 7% dan anggota Dewan Direktur Disney. Setelah mengundurkan diri sebagai CEO pada 24 Agustus 2011, Jobs terpilih sebagai ketua dewan direktur Apple.
Pada 5 Oktober 2011, Steve Jobs meninggal dunia di California pada usia 56 tahun, tujuh tahun setelah didiagnosis menderita kanker pankreas.
Pada waktu kematiannya, ia dikenal luas sebagai seorang visioner,
perintis dan jenius dalam bidang bisnis, inovasi, dan desain produk, dan
orang yang berhasil mengubah wajah dunia modern, merevolusi enam
industri yang berbeda, dan "contoh bagi semua kepala eksekutif".
Kematiannya ditanggapi secara luas dan dianggap sebagai kehilangan besar
bagi dunia oleh para penggemarnya di seluruh dunia.
Tidak hanya Macintosh, Steve Jobs juga membuat produk (Karya seni elktonik) yang berdampak besar bagi dunia. Salah satunya iPhone, handphone pintar ini mengusung taknologi multitouch sehingga semua aktivitas penggunaan handphone ini langsung sentuh dengan jari pada layar tanpa stylus (alat sentuh / bithing). Ada Inovator, ada kompetitor, Google juga ingin memiliki teknologi handphone multitouch. Google menjiplak ide Apple dengan membuat Android yang membuat Apple geram. Bagaimana tidak geram, karena beberapa saat setelah peluncuran perdana Android, petinggi Google hengkang dari jabatan exklusif Apple yang membuat Apple merasa kecolongan.
Salah satu hal yang menarik tentang mendiang Steve Jobs adalah kata kata yang "fenomenal" diucapkan selama Dia hidup, berikut beberapa Steve Jobs's Quotes:
