Something I learned today


Today bored searching on the web I came across a small passage of Steve jobs. He’s recent death was very popular as many people starting to recognize that he invented apple products. Steve Jobs is known for many things like the Apple II, the Macintosh, Pixar, the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and ipad. He is also known for his signature black turtleneck, Levi's jeans and gray New Balance sneakers. But just how Jobs arrived at that look after wearing neckties, bowties, vests and jeans covered in patches, isn't as known. Steve Jobs was a visionary, a brilliant innovator who reshaped entire industries by the force of his will, a genius at giving consumers not only what they wanted, but what they didn't yet know they wanted. He was also a world-class asshole. Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography of Jobs offers a revealing look at what the author has called "good Steve" and "bad Steve." Good Steve was brilliant, charismatic, a champion for excellence, an alchemist who turned a moribund computer company into gold. Bad Steve was petulant, rude, spiteful, and controlling, a man who thought nothing of publicly humiliating employees, hogging the credit for work he hadn't done, throwing tantrums when he didn't get his way, or parking his Mercedes in handicapped spots. For several years, he even denied the paternity of his daughter so that the child and her mother had to live on welfare. Is crazy how all this information was written in his biography and for him to be such a powerful and intelligent man.
