To many, Steve Jobs was a modern day Thomas Edison. (Todya, Apple is going to reinvents the phone)who can swim from ? to ?. But a new book says that was only half the story. 

 

 

What do you know about Steve Jobs that might surprise people most?

 

 

What surprised me about him all is what's how funny he was, and ?.

 

 

I was really surprised about the intensity³ of this close relationships. 

 

 

So close that when he needed a liver transplant in 2009, current Apple CEO Tim Cook offered his. But Jobs adamantly⁴ declined. ? has reputation as a temperer metal known wolf. The author says in fact Jobs was a fierce believer in the power of teamwork. 

 

 

You talked the book about how he used the Beatles as sort of an idea how to run a company. What do you mean by that?

 

 

Well, it's that idea of briliant people working together, making up for one another's weaknesses and emphasizing their strength. 

 

 

They say it was his team who want Jobs to focus on digital music instead of video. (This amazing little device for the thousands of sons) And let outside developers in, creating Iphone software, leaving birth to the Appstore. 

 

 

He could be brash and he could be insufferable but he learnt a lot after getting exile from Apple. When he came back, he was very different person. The young Steve Jobs could never have engineered the briliant comeback that Apple would experienced over the last 15 years.

Without Jobs, apple isn't strongest as ever. But his loss is felt everyday. 

 

 

His presence is still palpable around Apple. There may not be a Steve, but the spirit of Steve's. He's still there.
