A Big Apple Day



Today is a big day for Apple Computer. The World Wide Developer’s Conference takes place in San Francisco. In the past Apple CEO Steve Jobs has used the WWDC to introduce some of its most successful products, the iPod and the iPhone to name two. But this conference is really Steve Job’s day in the sun. With this in mind I thought it might be interesting to take a look at some biographical information on Steve Jobs...







Steve Jobs’ was born in San Francisco. His biological mother was Joanne Simpson, but she did not bring him up, rather he was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs.

He dropped out of college after only one semester.

Jobs met Apple co-founder Steve Wozinak while working together at Hewlett Packard.

Steve Job married to Laurene Powell in 1991. Together they have three children.

In 1978 when Jobs was only 24 years old he had a child with an artist named Chrisann Brennan. Initially, Jobs denied paternity and Brennan and her daughter lived on welfare. Later Jobs did acknowledge the child and she has since given birth to Jobs’ first grandchild.

According to an unauthorized biography of Jobs he dated folk singer Joan Baez. In Baez autobiography written in 1987 she mentions Jobs also.

Ironically, Jobs is a big Beatles fan but the Fab Four will not allow their music to be sold on Apple’s iTunes.

Here is Jobs’ usual attire...black turtleneck, 501 blue jeans and New Balance 991 Sneakers.

Steve Jobs is a vegetarian.

After several years of speculation about his health, Jobs received a liver transplant in early 2009.

Today, Steve Job will announce the next generation 4G iPhone to the world.
