Happy Birthday, Steve! Today is Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs’ 52nd birthday. Jobs was born on February 24, 1955.
Steve Jobs was a college dropout when he teamed up with Steve Wozniak in 1976 to sell personal computers assembled in Jobs’ garage. That was the beginning of Apple Computer, which revolutionized the computing industry and made Jobs a multimillionaire before he was 30 years old. He was forced out of the company in 1985 and started the NeXT Corporation, but returned to his old company in 1996 when Apple bought NeXT. Jobs soon became Apple’s chief executive officer and sparked a resurgence in the company with products like the colorful iMac computer and the iPod music player. Jobs was also the CEO of Pixar, the animation company responsible for movies like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. Pixar was purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2006 for $7.4 billion in stock; the deal made Jobs the largest individual shareholder of Disney stock.
Some sources list Los Altos, California as Jobs’s place of birth. However, in a 1995 oral history interview with The Smithsonian, Jobs said, “I was born in San Francisco, California, USA, planet Earth, February 24, 1955.” Jobs was given up for adoption after birth and raised by his adoptive parents in Silicon Valley… His biological sister is novelist Mona Simpson, author of “Anywhere But Here.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!

Steve was born in a manger. In San Francisco.
That <u>old</u> guy is nine years younger than I am? You’d think he led a tough life, or something! Must be his diet. Not enough humble pie.
Happy Birthday, old man … and, as SpinDoctor says, where’s my Leopard???

Happy Birthday my hero Steve Jobs… and THANK YOU for everything you do. Its importance is not lost.
Crazy as it sounds, I read somewhere that he was actually born in Milwaukee. “Baxter, is that you? Bark twice if you’re in Milwaukee.”

Happy Birthday, Steve.
Thank you for your strength, for your wish to make this world a better place, to fight against those who only wish to make money, mocking people with bad products, without a soul.
Keep rocking, for the good of all of us.

Steven Paul Jobs (name has a nice ring to it) – you are a monster!
Of Innovation.
You part an ocean of mediocrity to tame excellence.
Well done, son!
You know what…we are all stark raving bonkers.
But, is there any other public figure, let alone business leader, that gets customers wishing them a happy birthday?

I hope you got a C++ GUI programming guide from old PC.
Not that you would visit or read from this site about the news and rumours going on in your own company.
Happy Birthday, Steve.
Nothing original here, but I’ve got to add my voice of thanks and well-wishing.
Wow, only 52? If he stays healthy, he’s got another 10 years of innovations in him at least! Go go Steve!
After all that’s said what’s left to say ?
You’re probably the Greatest Man alive today.
