Job Anniversary Quotes Biography

If anyone had any question what irony is exactly, consider this: Today is the one-year anniversary of the day Steve Jobs stepped down from his job as the charismatic and legendary leader of Apple, as well as the very moment that the company he co-founded has largely won an epic legal battle with Samsung over patent infringement.
The late Apple co-founder was particularly vocal at various times on the issue of copying innovations that he felt his company had pioneered.
That’s been especially true related to Google Android operating system that Samsung and many other device makers are using.
In a quote by Jobs from Walter Isaacson’s biography of him, he famously said:
“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”
And that has certainly been at the center of the landmark trial over who stole what in the aggressive race to dominate the market for popular smartphones and tablet devices, including Apple’s iPhone and iPad.
Right now, the verdict from a California jury — who deliberated for less than 24 hours — is being read in a San Jose courtroom.
And, so far, it is largely favoring the Silicon Valley-based Apple over the South Korean consumer electronics giant on the wide-ranging patent infringement case.
As The Verge’s liveblog of the verdict noted: “Apple didn’t win everything — not by a long shot — but it won enough to make this a very important day.”
Indeed.
Those wins include patents related to touchscreen features, such as zooming, as well as on designs.
In addition, so far, Samsung has been ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages.
The jurors determined that Samsung violated six of seven patents and found that it willfully infringed in five instances. Also: The jury said that all seven of Apple’s patents were valid, which Samsung had contested.
The findings in the complex case are still being read in court, because it involves many patent infringement allegations on both sides related to dozens of devices.
Legions of lawyers for Apple and Samsung went back and forth on who invented what and whether it was a matter of copying or simple inspiration.
Samsung, naturally, said the various devices might be similar, but not the same. Apple begged to differ.
Jobs would have been in agreement, too, had he lived to see the verdict — he died of pancreatic cancer in October of last year, only months after stepping down.
But, in his resignation letter a year ago, he wrote about the importance of innovation:
“I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role. I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.”
Walter Isaacson did 40 interviews with Steve Jobs for his biography.
The result is a 600 page book loaded with fabulous vignettes of the most creative businessman in history.

We've read through it and picked out our favorite quotes from Jobs.

He weighs in on everything from the competition to religion to building the best products in the world.

On why you should take LSD

Mike Matas
“Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”

Here's Jobs talking about a Microsoft employee he was friendly with: "This guy badgered me about how Microsoft was going to completely change the world with this tablet PC software and eliminate all notebook computers, and Apple ought to license his Microsoft software. But he was doing the device all wrong. It had a stylus. As soon as you have a stylus, you’re dead. This dinner was like the tenth time he talked to me about it, and I was so sick of it that I came home and said, 'Fuck this, let’s show him what a tablet can really be.'"

"I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do."

"There's some notion that because I was abandoned, I worked very hard so I could do well and make parents wish they had me back, but that's nonsense."

Even when you're dying, you have to make sure you continue living

Dan Frommer, Business Insider
“Living with a disease like this, and all the pain, constantly reminds you of your own mortality, and that can do strange things to your brain if you’re not careful.”

“You don’t make plans more than a year out, and that’s bad. You need to force yourself to plan as if you will live for many years.”

"The juice goes out of Christianity when it becomes too based on faith rather than living like Jesus or seeing the world as Jesus saw it ... I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don't. It's the great mystery."

"I've learned over the years that when you have really good people you don't have to baby them. By expecting them to do great things, you can get them to do great things. The original Mac team taught me that A-plus players like to work together, and they don't like it if you tolerate B work."

“We put iTunes on Windows in order to sell more iPods. But I don’t see an advantage of putting our music app on Android, except to make Android users happy. And I don’t want to make Android users happy.”

"People don’t know what they want until you show it to them."
"Some people say, 'Give the customers what they want.' But that’s not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they’re going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, 'If I’d asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, "A faster horse!"' People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page."

When he came back to Apple as CEO he told the board, "This company is in shambles, and I don't have time to wet-nurse the board. So I need all of you to resign. Or else I'm going to resign and not come back on Monday."

He also said, "I don't want the people I work with at Apple to think I am coming back to get rich."

"Screw it. I'm sick of listening to you assholes. Go do whatever the hell you want."

That was Jobs relenting. Everyone in Apple was pushing to get iTunes built for Windows. He resisted and resisted until he finally caved, tired of dealing with everyone.

"I hate it when people call themselves 'entrepreneurs' when what they’re really trying to do is launch a startup and then sell or go public, so they can cash in and move on."

"I think most creative people want to express appreciation for being able to take advantage of the work that’s been done by others before us. I didn’t invent the language or mathematics I use. I make little of my own food, none of my own clothes. Everything I do depends on other members of our species and the shoulders that we stand on. And a lot of us want to contribute something back to our species and to add something to the flow."

Unlike in the 80's, Steve Jobs probably won't ask if you're a virgin.

"There's a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That's crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they're doing, you say, 'Wow,' and soon you're cooking up all sorts of ideas."

“Knowing I was adopted may have made me feel more independent, but I have never felt abandoned. I’ve always felt special. My parents made me feel special.” He would later bristle whenever anyone referred to Paul and Clara Jobs as his “adoptive” parents or implied that they were not his “real” parents. “They were my parents 1,000%,” he said. When speaking about his biological parents, on the other hand, he was curt: “They were my sperm and egg bank. That’s not harsh, it’s just the way it was, a sperm bank thing, nothing more.”

He saw a calf being born, and he was amazed when the tiny animal struggled up within minutes and began to walk. “It was not something she had learned, but it was instead hardwired into her,” he recalled. “A human baby couldn’t do that. I found it remarkable, even though no one else did.” He put it in hardware-software terms: “It was as if something in the animal’s body and in its brain had been engineered to work together instantly rather than being learned.”
