From a lowly start up in his mother's garage to one of the most iconic businessmen of our time, Steve Jobs has definitely left an indelible mark on the world of business. Steve Jobs was a man who was not only inspiring but also a shrewd businessmen who had a vision that he never let waiver. Apple, has become one of the most powerful companies in the world and it was mainly due to persistence, innovation and tenacious marketing. I remember seeing those colorful Mac computers back in the 90's and being fascinated. Fast forward 18 years later and Mac's computers are still beautiful with a very minimalist sensibility. Although I would not label myself an Apple-Head per say, I am a huge fan of the iPhone series and the iPod. iPhones and iPods have helped to revolutionize the telecommunications and music industries respectively. Steve Jobs is to thank for all of this, so even if you never bought into the Apple hype you have to respect the man's hustle. Steve's passing comes on the heels of the announcement for the newest Apple iPhone 4S which I will now dub the iPhone 4 Steve!
RIP Steve Jobs, dead at the age of 56, he leaves behind a wife, his four children and his billion dollar empire.
What do you think is next for Apple going forward without Mr. Jobs?
Let's remember Steve Jobs with one of his most memorable speeches at Stanford University's 2005 commencement!
