Video: Woz Calls Jobs ‘Greatest Tech Leader of Our Time’

Posted in: Apple, Miscellaneous, steve jobs, Today's Chili

It would be difficult to overstate the significance of Steve Jobs to Apple, and harder still to overstate Apple’s influence on the tech sector. Jobs was the towering figure behind a towering company.

So says Steve Wozniak, the man who founded Apple with Jobs. Wozniak waxed poetic about Jobs in an interview with Bloomberg. He spoke at length about Jobs’ leadership, the culture he created at Apple and the future of the company.

“He’s always going to be remembered, at least for the next hundred years, as the greatest technology business leader of our time,” Woz said of Jobs.

Steve Jobs’ Greatest Technology Triumphs

Steve the CEO


When Steve Jobs announced his resignation from Apple on Wednesday, it didn’t just bring an end to his long reign as CEO of the company he co-founded. It also closed the book on one of the greatest legacies of innovation the technology industry has ever witnessed.

Jobs isn’t just a savvy businessman, he’s a visionary who made it his mission to humanize personal computing, rewriting the rules of user experience design, hardware design and software design. His actions reverberated across industry lines: He shook up the music business, dragged the wireless carriers into the boxing ring, changed the way software is sold and forever altered the language of computer interfaces. Along the way, he built Apple up into one of the most valuable corporations in the world.

What a run.

As we look back at Steve’s greatest hits, the big question is: Will Apple be able to continue the string of successes Jobs leaves in his wake?

Steve Jobs’ Apple: a timeline

Posted in: Apple, steve jobs, SteveJobs, Today's Chili

Let there be no question: ours would be a very different industry, were it not for Steve Jobs. Few, if any individuals have had so profound an effect on their given spaces; a unprecedented track record that began in 1976 with the co-founding of Apple. In earliest incarnation, the company would prove the driving force of the personal computer explosion of the early ’80s, beginning with the Apple II — one of the industry’s first hugely popular microcomputers. The Macintosh shook things up yet again, a launch celebrated by the debut of the “1984” ad during that year’s Superbowl. That line helped break both the graphical user interface and the mouse to a massive audience.

Soon after, Jobs would resign, going on to form NeXT. The company never managed sales figures anywhere near the previous endeavor, but its products would prove highly influential, forming, among other things, the basis of Apple’s paradigm-shifting OS X operating system. While Steve Jobs was focused on NeXT and The Graphic Group — the company that would later morph into the far more familiar Pixar — Apple suffered a series of defeats.
