Is it End of Steve Jobs or Apple Era?


With the sadly demise of Steve Jobs, world has lost a great inventor, entrepreneur, leader. No one can ever deny his greatness when it comes to gadgets and gizmos. All his life revolved around technology and related products. Perhaps his “Apple” was of more importance than Apple that dropped on Newton’s head or which Adam gave to Eve.
Steve Jobs even though was into technology since long, he actually came into picture when he controlled the media organization by the name of Pixar during the year 1986-2006. He paid heed to two most important types of leadership, i.e. transformational as well as transactional.  By blending these two types of leadership, he was able to make himself a brand. He was no doubt a charismatic leader.

Steve Jobs bought Graphics Group in the year 1986 at a cost of 10 million dollars. After getting the control over the company, he relocated the ceremony to California and the name was also changed to Pixar. Steve Jobs had long term plans as well. He not only paid attention to achieving immediate financial success but also long term stability and revenue generation. He was more concerned of future rather than present. He also kept himself updated on the technology being released by the others.
It was never so easy for Steve, a college dropout. He was asked to leave by CEO of Apple because of his visionary thoughts. As a result of this spat, Jobs left Apple and formed another venture by the name of NeXT computers.  This company soon bought Pixar. The success of this great inventor that time forced many people to enter into the business of computer technology.
Toy Story came out from the Steve controlled Pixar. It was a 3D movie, one of a kind at that time. It made Steve famous in a single day and applauds came from all the sides. Things turned quickly and Steve was back in Apple. The real change came with the introduction of Apple iPod, then iPhone and finally iPad. These gadgets became more than a tool of communication and entertainment. Steve made these gadgets a part of our lives. In 2006, Steve was diagnosed with cancer and it made him change. He used to spend quality time with friends and family, knowing that his time is near. Yet, he made a strong comeback and showed good recovery.
On 5th October 2011, Steve breathed his last surrounded by family and close friends. He is no more with us now, but the Apple legacy he has left for us is going to be with the world forever.

Sony Ericsson MW600 Review

If you're someone who regularly finds themselves driving, or cycling, or skiing, or cooking, or cleaning, or doing anything - for that matter - which requires your hands and at least a portion of your concentration, then you'll know the value of a Bluetooth headset. But in the more energetic of the aforementioned pursuits, you'll find that a regular ol' one-eared headset won't do. They fall out.
