Google just announced the Pixel yesterday and I am pretty sure Steve Jobs would have had plenty to complain about. It was evident even before launch, thanks to the rumours, that Google was going to pull off an iPhone-like device, one that is probably the best, current day example about how having a control on things resulted in a better consumer products. Jobs was never pro Google and often mocked […]

During the meeting, Mark revealed that when his company was going through a rough patch, Steve Jobs advised him to visit a temple in India.

Among tech executives, there’s a growing trend of parents who won’t let their kids use […]
Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs’ reputation preceded him in many ways. Many have attributed Apple’s success at least in part to Jobs’ obsession with detail and perfection. So you can imagine he wouldn’t settle for being told that something can’t be done. One former Apple and NeXT employee told Business Insider what it was like to face Jobs and tell him one of his assignments was impossible. Ken […]
Passion is everything. You cannot inspire unless you’re inspired yourself. In 25 years of studying communication, I’ve never met an inspiring entrepreneur who isn’t freakishly enthusiastic about his or her idea. Steve Jobs, one of the most passionate entrepreneurs in business history, may have offered the best definition of passion in one of his last public presentations, in March 2011 (he died that October). “It is in Apple’s DNA that […]
Former Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs is known for instilling Apple’s ridiculously high standards when it comes to product design and development.
