Good Karma And Bad Karma

Good Karma And Bad Karma

Steve Jobs understood computers better than everyone else, but he did not understand the philosophy of Good Karma And Bad Karma. He came to India in search of Guru in 1974 seeking enlightenment.

Steven Paul Jobs was the chairman, and the chief executive officer, and a co-founder of Apple Inc.; CEO and majority shareholder of Pixar; and founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak are the pioneers of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s. Jobs was born in San Francisco to parents who had to put him up for adoption at birth. Jobs briefly attended Reed College in 1972 before dropping out.

Jobs's declassified FBI report stated that an acquaintance knew that Jobs had used the illegal drugs marijuana and LSD while he was in college. Jobs once told a reporter that taking LSD was "one of the two or three most important things" he did in his life. Jobs and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. They gained fame and wealth later for the Apple II, a successful personal computer. In 1979, he saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface. This led to development of the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984. Macintosh introduced the sudden rise of the desktop publishing industry in 1985 with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter, the first laser printer to feature vector graphics. After a long power struggle, Jobs was forced out of Apple. He took a few of its members with him to found NeXT, a computer platform development company that specialized in state-of-the-art computers for higher education and business markets. Jobs helped to initiate the development of the visual effects industry when he funded the spinout of the computer graphics division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm in 1986, Pixar. In 1997, Apple merged with NeXT. Within a few months of the merger, Jobs became CEO of his former company; he revived Apple at the verge of bankruptcy. Beginning in 1997 with the "Think different" advertising campaign, Jobs worked closely with designer Jonathan Ive to develop a line of products that would have larger cultural ramifications: the iMac, iTunes and iTunes Store, Apple Store, iPod, iPhone, App Store, and the iPad. In 2001, the original Mac OS was replaced with a completely new Mac OS X, giving the OS a modern Unix-based foundation.

Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003.
