30. 2. Steven P Jobs
and his influence on Apple products
this section is about some of the wild and
eccentric things Steve Jobs said or did. And
they turned out to have pivotal impacts on
the Apple products are designed and built.
31. youth: grew up in late 60s and influenced by
its culture. woodstock. the beatles. dylan.
vietnam war.
32. After earning enough money, Steve Jobs
travelled to India with a friend to look for
holy gurus Kainchi ashram and Neem
Karoli Baba to learn about life. The pair
eventually wandered across India with
shaved heads and few possessions in hope
of seeking spiritual solace and
enlightenment.
In his later years Steve remains dedicated
to spiritualism practices. He would regularly
visitor a Shinto priest whom acted as his
mentor, became a vegetarian, and lead a
non-extravagant life style. He remains very
much obsessed with ideologies and
achieving something great. At all costs.
34. “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life”
“Stay hungry. Stay foolish”
“Innovation is the
distinction between a
“The only way to do great work is leader and a follower.”
to love what you do.”
“A computer ! a bicycle of "r minds” “People who are serious
about software build
their own hardware”
perfectionist, inspirational, grand schemer, visionary
36. "I hear you're great, but everything you've done so
far is crap. Come work for me."
“You guys really fucked up. I’m going to have
to lay a lot of you off.”
“Tell me what you do at Apple and why I “are you a virgin?!”
shouldn’t fire you.”
“I think it’s fucking shit.” "The only problem with Microsoft is they just have n
menacing, ruthless, manipulative, controlling, egoistic
taste.They have absolutely no taste."
37. aesthetics and incredible attention to detail
few things of how he did influenced Apple
products - design and typography
at 17 he insisted going to Reed College,
Portland, Oregon (as expensive as
Stanford), but after 6 months he dropped
out.
"I decided to take a calligraphy class. I
learned about serif and san serif typefaces,
about varying the amount of space between
different letter combinations, about what
makes great typography great. It was
beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a
way that science can't capture, and I found
it fascinating."
"If I had never dropped in on that single
course in college, the Mac would have
never had multiple typefaces or
proportionally spaced fonts. And since
Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that
no personal computer would have them."
38.
39. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.
40. not only must software be dead simple to use, it
also has to pass the “induce childlike wonder”
test.
