Steve Jobs Dies: Apple Chief Created Personal Computer, iPad, iPod, iPhone

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56. Jobs died "peacefully" surrounded by family members, his family said in a statement. By NED POTTER, COLLEEN CURRY and MICHAEL S. JAMES | ABC News Neither Jobs' family nor Apple revealed where Jobs died or from what cause, though in recent years he had fought a form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant. "We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts." The homepage of Apple's website switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011." Clicking on the image revealed additional text, credited in a separate memo to Apple employees to current Apple CEO Tim Cook. "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the text read. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple." Reaction to Jobs' death came far and wide -- even from the White House. "Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs," President Obama said in a written statement. "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it." Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first personal computer, the Apple II. Shortly after learning of Jobs' death, Wozniak told ABC News, "I'm shocked and disturbed." Industry watchers called Jobs a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications. Jobs' rivals in the development of personal computers, Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, immediately reacted to his death and highlighted his importance to their industry. Allen called him "a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products." Gates extended his condolences and noted in a written statement that he and Jobs "have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives." "The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come," Gates added. "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely." A more recent rival, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, also weighed in with a statement on Jobs. "Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend," it read. "Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you." Jobs continued to innovate in recent years even as he battled severe health problems that prompted leaves of absence from Apple. In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple's chief executive. "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. "Unfortunately, that day has come." Nevertheless, he remained as chairman of the corporation, a new position created just for him. Remembering a Tech Innovator Upon his death today, Jobs' family released a statement thanking everyone who had expressed concern about the health of the tech innovator in the final year of his life, and noted, "a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories." "In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family," the statement said. "We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief." One of the world's most famous CEOs, Jobs remained stubbornly private about his personal life, refusing interviews and shielding his wife and their children from public view. "He's never been a media person," said industry analyst Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, after Jobs resigned. "He's granted interviews in the context of product launches, when it benefits Apple, but you never see him talk about himself." Upon Jobs' death, Apple said it was not planning any public events, though Cook's memo to Apple employees said the company was "planning a celebration of Steve's extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon." At Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., tonight, people were hugging and crying. Candles were being lit around an iPad with a picture of Jobs on the screen, and people very quietly stood and looked at the memorial. The highlights of Jobs's career trajectory are well-known: a prodigy who dropped out of Reed College in Oregon and, at 21, started Apple with Wozniak in his parents' garage. He was a multimillionaire by 25, appeared on the cover of Time magazine at 26, and was ousted at Apple at age 30, in 1984. In the years that followed, he went into other businesses, founding NeXT computers and, in 1986, buying the computer graphics arm of Lucasfilm, Ltd., which became Pixar Animation Studios. He was described as an exacting and sometimes fearsome leader, ordering up and rejecting multiple versions of new products until the final version was just right. He said the design and aesthetics of a device were as important as the hardware and software inside. In 1996, Apple, which had struggled without Jobs, brought him back by buying NeXT. He became CEO in 1997 and put the company on a remarkable upward path. By 2001, the commercial music industry was on its knees because digital recordings, copied and shared online for free, made it unnecessary for millions of people to buy compact discs. Jobs took advantage with the iPod -- essentially a pocket-sized computer hard drive with elegantly simple controls and a set of white earbuds so that one could listen to the hours of music one saved on it. He set up the iTunes online music store, and persuaded major recording labels to sell songs for 99 cents each. No longer did people have to go out and buy a CD if they liked one song from it. They bought a digital file and stored it in their iPod. "Other companies sold digital music before Apple," said Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard magazine. "Other companies made digital music available on computers and digital phones and used it in commercials. Apple's brilliance -- and I don't think anyone doubts that this was Steve Jobs' brilliance -- was that Apple made it exciting and simple and effortless and fun. Before Steve Jobs, digital music was math class. After, it was recess. "Without a doubt," he added, "when you think of the Mount Rush more of the music business -- pioneers like Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler, Clive Davis and Jimmy Iovine -- Steve Jobs has earned his prominent place." In 2007, Jobs transformed the cell phone. Apple's iPhone, with its iconic touch screen, was a handheld computer, music player, messaging device, digital wallet and -- almost incidentally -- cell phone. Major competitors, such as BlackBerry, Nokia and Motorola, struggled after it appeared. By 2010, Apple's new iPad began to cannibalize its original business, the personal computer. The iPad was a sleek tablet computer with a touch screen and almost no physical buttons. It could be used for almost anything software designers could conceive, from watching movies to taking pictures to leafing through a virtual book. Steve Jobs' Personal Life Jobs kept a close cadre of friends, Bajarin said, including John Lasseter of Pixar and Larry Ellison of Oracle, but beyond that, shared very little of his personal life with anyone. But that personal life -- he was given up at birth for adoption, had an illegitimate child, was romantically linked with movie stars -- was full of intrigue for his fan base and Apple consumers. Jobs and his wife, Laurene Powell, were married in a small ceremony in Yosemite National Park in 1991, lived in Woodside, Calif., and had three children: Reed Paul, Erin Sienna and Eve. He admitted that when he was 23, he had a child out of wedlock with his high school girlfriend, Chris Ann Brennan. Their daughter, Lisa Brennan Jobs, was born in 1978. He had a biological sister, Mona Simpson, the author of such well-known books as "Anywhere But Here." But he did not meet Simpson until they were adults and he was seeking out his birth parents. Simpson later wrote a book based on their relationship. She called it "A Regular Guy." Fortune magazine reported that Jobs denied paternity of Lisa for years, at one point swearing in a court document that he was infertile and could not have children. According to the report, Chris Ann Brennan collected welfare for a time to support the child until Jobs later acknowledged Lisa as his daughter. There were other personal details that emerged over the years, as well. At Reed, Jobs became romantically involved with the singer Joan Baez, according to Elizabeth Holmes, a friend and classmate. In "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs," Holmes tells biographer Alan Deutschman that Jobs broke up with his serious girlfriend to "begin an affair with the charismatic singer-activist." Holmes confirmed the details to ABC News. Jobs' Health and Apple's Health Enigmatic and charismatic, Jobs said little about himself. But then his body began to fail him. In 2004, he was forced to say publicly he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer. In 2009, it was revealed that he had quietly gone to a Memphis hospital for a liver transplant. He took three medical leaves from Apple. He did not share details. In 2009, sources said, members of Apple's board of directors had to persuade him to disclose more about his health as "a fiduciary issue," interwoven with the health of the company. He was listed in March as 109th on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires, with a net worth of about $8.3 billion. After selling Pixar animation studios to The Walt Disney Company in 2006, he became a Disney board member and the company's largest shareholder. Disney is the parent company of ABC News. Analysts said Apple performed well during Jobs' absence, partly because he was available for big decisions and partly because his chief lieutenant, Tim Cook, was the hands-on manager even when Jobs was there. The company has a history of bouncing back. In January 2009, after he announced his second medical leave, Apple stock dropped to $78.20 per share. But it quickly recovered and became one of the most successful stocks on Wall Street. On one day in the summer of 2011, with the stock hitting the $400 level, Apple briefly passed ExxonMobil as the world's most valuable company. ABC News' Alex Stone and Catherine McKenzie contributed to this report Co-founder and CEO of Apple Steve Jobs today announced his resignation, he said, “has been unable to continue to meet as CEO responsibilities and expectations. ” There is no doubt that this is a piece of sad news. But in honor of his great career, let us together through a set of photos below to review his coming of age of 56 years. 1: his childhood home Steve born in 1955 was later adoptions, his official resume wrote: “apricot orchards grow up here later became Silicon Valley it. ” In the picture House is where Apple was born later. 2: when Steve met Steve Before entering the Homestead high school, Steve Jobs made another Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Steve Wozniak). The two of them soon became friends, and join in and do a lot of mischief. On one occasion, in their high school graduation class hung a picture of a huge cloth, printed above a raised middle finger, also wrote the insulting remarks. Wozniak wrote in his memoirs: “Steve the soup. ” 3: young scholars Steve Jobs has a high priority in the year beard styling. For a while longer, then cut short. 4: Jobs and Wozniak Jobs attended Hewlett-Packard’s extracurricular lectures there, then start a summer job, while Wozniak was working at HP. But by the late 70 ‘s medium-term-that is, from Reed College (Reed College) dropped out and went to India after the trip, he began to attend Wozniak “home brew computer club” (Homebrew Computer Club). 5: Early day of Apple In order to set up Apple, jobs and Wozniak “to sell their most valuable stuff”. Steve sold off the public light bus, Wozniak sold the HP scientific calculator, they raised a total of us $ 1300, and founded a new company. 6: Think Steve Jobs behind a hippie-style “Think” symbol. Subsequently, Apple’s slogan changed to Think Different. Jobs ‘ high school electronics teacher said: “he had a different view on things. ” 7: Jobs’ mustache Do you believe that such a person can make a computer? You should believe. 8: Mac In 1984, Steve Jobs introduced the Mac. This is the first graphical interface of the PC. Today, all PC are equipped with a graphical interface. Diagram shows the Apple in 1984 “Super Bowl” (Super Bowl) football game during the launch of the famous advertising. 9: starting NeXT Apple after the dismissal of the Board, Steve started a new company called NeXT. The company’s poor performance in the hardware field, but the software eventually became the basis for Apple OS x, Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch are widely used today. Apple acquired NeXT in 1997. 10: new hairstyles During the NeXT period, Steve Jobs looks like an ice hockey player. 11: Jobs and Labor In1991 Jobs married Laurene Powell, and had three kids. 12: Pixar’s toy story Jobs in the early 90 ‘s the first big is not a computer, but the film. He is from George Lucas in 1986 bought Pixar Animation Studios. In 1995, the height of the toy story was the start of Pixar animation times, in the United States and Canada box office at the beginning of more than $ 191 million. Pixar’s IPO (initial public offering) also have brought great wealth to Steve jobs. 13: 1998, Macworld After Apple acquired NeXT, Steve jobs and Apple go even closer. In early 1998, Steve beard. Is he in January of modeling at the Macworld Conference, he announced that Apple a quarterly profit of 45 million dollars previously. 14: Hello, iMac Later the same year, Steve Jobs introduced the iMac, which is a focused Internet computers. But controversial is, this product is not equipped with floppy drive, and therefore became the first Apple computers using USB interface. Steve Jobs said: “it looked like something from another planet. And it was a good planet. ” 15: Gulf Stream aircraft In 2000, as recognition of his achievements, Steve won the $ 10 million stock options and a Gulfstream v jets.

However, he still gives rise to surprise, it is a spaceship-like appearance of Apple’s new headquarters. 26: Steve Jobs resign In fact, in the technology industry’s top ten crazy prediction, we had expected Steve Jobs ‘ leave in the article. It was really sad.

Steve Jobs and the History of Apple Product Development

With Steve Jobs taking a medical leave of absence, it’s worth looking at some of Apple’s most iconic successes and failures to date to get a macro-level look at the effect he’s had on Apple products (and by extension, the company itself) so far.

The Macintosh

Looking back to 1976, the Apple I was the first big success for Apple, though arguably it was also a failure. The company ultimately killed the Apple computer in favor of the Apple Macintosh. Introduced in 1984, the Macintosh popularized the Graphical User Interface, as well as the input device known as the “mouse.” The Macintosh was self-contained, including the display, and easy to set up with few cables, characteristics favored by Jobs and ones that continue to distinguish Apple products to this day.
It’s not surprising then that upon returning to Apple, Jobs oversaw the Mac’s rebirth in 1998. The iMac combined the “excitement of the Internet with the simplicity of the Macintosh.” The iMac cleared away legacy technology, including the (at the time ubiquitous) floppy disk drive, emphasizing networking and getting online “fast and easy.” At $1,199, it was a huge success. In 2000, the iMac accounted for nearly half of all Macs sold. The iMac was one of two products that saved Apple Computer; the other was the iPod.

iPod

“We love music” is one of those quotes that Jobs often repeats, and in the iPod, it really showed. Although not the first hard-drive based media player, the iPod combined great functionality, 5GB of storage and 10 hours of battery life with brilliant industrial design and the click-wheel, all in a case the size of a “deck of cards.” That device, combined first with iTunes, and then with the iTunes Music Store, ultimately established Apple as the leading purveyor of media players and digital music.

Missteps

However, not everything Jobs touched ended up turning to gold, though one did successfully transmute at Apple. NeXT was the company Jobs started after leaving Apple, and while it and its computers ultimately failed, the NeXTSTEP OS did not: We know it today as OS X.
A rare but lasting failure for Apple was the Cube. Introduced in 2000, the Apple Cube was, according to Jobs, “simply the coolest computer ever.” At any rate, the buying public was definitely cool towards it. Less than two years after its launch, an embarrassing press release put the Cube on “ice” permanently.
Another notable Mac failure was the iMac G4. Introduced in 2002, the iMac G4 boasted a revolutionary design that placed an LCD display on an articulating arm, the “sunflower” design, as Jobs described it. “Why have a flat display if you’re going to glom all this stuff on its back?” Two years later, following a reception best described as lukewarm, that’s exactly what Apple did with the iMac G5.

The Tablet Revolution

If it sounded like boasting in 2007 when Steve Jobs said Apple was introducing “a revolutionary product that changes everything,” it sounds like a straightforward declaration of facts in hindsight. Back then, it was thought that we were getting a new phone with multi-touch and a real Internet experience, but four years later, it turns out that what we got was a brand new, robust computing platform.  The iPad is the latest innovation in mobile computing from Apple, and if the rush of competitors to offer similar devices is any indication, it could approach even the lofty example set by the iPhone in terms of its effect on the way people use technology in their daily lives.
1984, 2001, 2007, 2010: those are the years that matter, the years of the Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad, and Steve Jobs was there for every one. Like every other Apple fan, I can’t wait for Jobs to come back and continue the hit parade that just won’t stop.

What we have Learned from Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs has been referred to as the  ‘poet of the computer industry’ and many have likened his death to that of john Lennon.  Steve impacted billions of people across nearly every market vertical. His passion for excellence has been exemplified in every Apple product. There is so much to take away from Steve jobs, and here is what he has taught us all during his short time on Earth.

Strive for Excellence, not ‘Good Enough’

Though Apple has its share of failures it is all of the successes that the company and Steve Jobs will be remembered for. Every Apple Product reminds me of what my high school biology teacher taught us ‘Form follows Function’. The Apple OS and hardware were designed to look simple and beautiful.  This made the computers something that you could use easily and would continually recommend.
I remember seeing one of Apple’s Clam shell laptops, and I wanted one so badly simply because it just looked so different from everything on the market.  I eventually bought a G3 PowerMac that ran up until  a few years ago. Simply put, Apple designed products that were beautiful, powerful, easy-to-use, and are built to last
This is the only way you should approach product development, all too often people rush to launch a new product and something that is only 90% seems good enough to sell. This is an awful practice, releasing something that is not complete will just come back to bite you, spend the extra time to get everything working as it should. Maybe that’s why Apple didn’t release an iPhone 5 and announced the 4S.

Expand Your Influence in Peripheral Niches

Steve Jobs wasn’t content with Apple just being in the computer industry.  When Steve launched iTunes and the iPod he proved that Apple was now a digital products company.  Steve identified a market that had no clear winner, there were plenty of MP3 players that were ‘good enough’ but no MP3 player that was truly excellent.  The iPod changed it all; it brought Apple to the forefront again.
Steve then moved from the music industry into the mobile industry.  I can remember the days before the iPhone where the Motorola Razr would cost you $200.  When the iPhone was released Apple set the standard of excellence in a new industry. After the massive success of the iPhone, Steve moved into the tablet space and created the iPad. Steve identified three separate industries that didn’t have a clear winner and sought to dominate them.  Now music players, phones and tablets are all synonymous with Apple’s brand.
Find tangential areas where your company can expand.  Bring your unique approach to the table, and redefine an industry.  With our Social Page Builder tool, we saw that most Facebook page creators were boxy and either limiting or too difficult to use.  We wanted to take our unique approach to HTML editors and image editors to redefine how a Facebook page is created.

Define your brand

Apple is undoubtedly the ‘hip’ brand. People love to use their products, and love people to know they are using their products. This definitely added to Apple’s success, they created amazing brand evangelists who would not only buy the latest updates but continually encourage their friends to buy into Apple as well.
Thank you Steve for all the work you did revolutionizing an industry with amazingly useful products that had an incredible aesthetic.  Your passion for excellence will never be forgotten and forever emulated. You will be missed.

Qalamullah teach both

* It says Allah is Al-Khaliq" (The Creator)

* It also says Allah is Al-Bari"(The Evolver)

For the Muslim there is no need for separation between religion and science. It is understood from the Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, that there is both; "Creation" and "Evolution." And in both instances, it is only Allah who is "Able to do all things." In fact, it was the Muslim scientists, more than 1,000 years ago, who set the stage for the advancement of learning, technology and disciplines in science that we know today.

Allah has explained how He created everything in the universe and brought all life out of water. He created humans from earth (not monkeys) and there is no need to attempt fabrications of "links" to the animal world in Islam.

The Christian Bible says that Adam & Eve were both created here on Earth, less than 10,000 years ago. The Quran says that Adam & Eve were created in Heaven, and NOT on Earth. When they disobeyed God, He expelled them from Heaven, down to Earth.

Muslims believe that souls are assigned to humans 40 days after the human inception. The Quran says that angels retrieve human souls on two occasions. One occasion is when humans die. The other occasion is every time humans fall asleep. When humans wakeup, the angels release those souls back to them:

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that did not die, during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back, but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.

[Noble Quran 39:42]

And Allah has Created every animal from water; of them are some creeping on their bellies; some walk on two legs; and some on four. Allah Creates what He wills: for sure Allah has Power over all things.

[Noble Quran 24:45]

The Quran has set a precedent 14 centuries before modern science, explaining in simple and direct terms about his "creation" of animals and their various functions and then assures us it is He who has the Power over everything. This statement includes the fact Allah can if He Wills, reshape and alter his creation as He Chooses. There is clear evidence within many species of alteration and changes within the species. However, there is no concrete evidence to support a cross over in development from one type to another, such as reptiles turning into birds or alligators turning into cows. The statements made in Quran are quite clear when Allah tells us of having brought forth other life forms and then destroying or replacing them with others. This again, does not imply evolution in the sense of one type becoming or changing into another.

Allah tells us He is Al-Bari, (The Shaper or Evolver) but once again, this does not mean He has a need to bring about each individual life form all from one kind. Actually, while reading the Quran you learn He has brought many types and shapes and sizes as He Wills. Changes within species occur even as quickly as one or two seasons, not even taking a whole year, much less millions as was supposed by Darwin.

Speaking of Charles Darwin, he was only an armature naturalist and had only observed the finches (birds) on the Galapagos Islands for the first time in the mid 1850s. He noticed that on each island the birds had different shaped beaks according to the type of food available on their particular island. For this reason, he assumed, the birds had progressed over millions of years and only the hardiest of the species had survived the climate and vegetation changes. However, this is totally inaccurate and was dismissed as a mere humor in a TV series on the educational channel in October of 1998. According to the scientists� discoveries in that very same year, the effects of the weather phenomenon known as El Nino, the climate on these same exact islands had drastically changed in a single year within a number of months. And to their surprise, the eggs of the finches on each island hatched open producing birds with beaks already altered to accommodate the changes of their environment.

The commentator even said this shoots Darwin's theory completely down and he laughed.

There is no DNA research pointing to a connection between apes and humans as was supposed by the scientists and those who had financed them over the years. In fact, the barnyard pig is closer to humans in many aspects, than a monkey or a gorilla. Consider the fact, doctors use the skin from pigs to replace needed tissue on burn victims and the famous movie actor, John Wayne had a pig's heart valve installed in his own heart in a 1977 operation to save his life. It worked, too - until his smoking caused him to die of cancer.

The rational approach to the whole subject is rather simple. Just as He is able to Create the universe and bring forth life, it is simple also for Him to produce as many different types of forms of life as He Wills. No problem for Him, after all - He is the Creator and He is the Shaper. And most important, He can change anything as He Wills - even today.

SCIENTIST: CONFIRM Qalamullah MIRACLE

Prof. Gerald G. Goeringer 

Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Goeringer stated the following in the presentation of his research paper:

“In a relatively few ayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather comprehensive description of human development from the time of commingling of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct and complete record of human development, such as classification, terminology, and description, existed previously. In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal development recorded in the traditional scientific literature."

Prof. William W. Hey

Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran’s mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said:

“I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages.”
And when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: “Well, I would think it must be the divine being.”
