Haha... Since everyone is so interested in Steve Jobs, I can't find a reason not to do some research about him and his Apple Inc.
Apple Inc. was established on April 1, 1976 (April Foool) by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Apple 1 was the first product released by Apple Inc. It went on a sale on July 1976 at $666.66( It was an expensive product!). Apple II was introduced on April 16 1977. It came with colour graphics.
By the end of 1970's, Apple had a staff of computer designers and a production line.When Apple went public, it generated more capital than any IPO since Ford Motor Company in 1956 and instantly created more millionaires (about 300) than any company in history.
(Too lazy to describe the middle part of the history, I'll go straight to the present)
2007-- on January 9, 2007, Jobs announced that Apple Computer, Inc. would from that point on be known as Apple Inc., because computers were no longer the main focus of the company, which had shifted its emphasis to mobile electronic devices. The event also saw the announcement of the iPhone and the Apple TV.In an article posted on Apple's website on February 6, 2007, Steve Jobs wrote that Apple would be willing to sell music on the iTunes Store without DRM (which would allow tracks to be played on third-party players). In June, Apple launched the App Store to sell third-party applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Three months later, it was announced that Apple had become the third-largest mobile handset supplier in the world due to the popularity of the iPhone. On April 3, 2010, iPad was launch in the US and sold more than 300 thousands units on that day and 500 thousands by the end of the week...
On January 17, 2011 Jobs announced that he will be taking medical leave of absence of a indefinite period to allow him to focus on his health.On October 5, 2011, Apple announced that Jobs had died.
That's how a noble man rise... And ends his noble life by leaving many great inventions for us... Steve Jobs, You will be remembered...
