Apple comemoreaza un an de la moartea fondatorului sau Steve Jobs printr-un tribut video postat pe site-ul companiei.
Dupa rularea filmului, utilizatorii sunt intampinati de un mesaj scris de actualul CEO, Tim Cook, in care acesta spune ca Apple este unul dintre cele mai mare daruri pe care Jobs le-a facut lumii.
„Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.
One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for„, spune Tim Cook in mesajul adresat fanilor Apple.
Steve Jobs, co-fondator si presedinte al consiliului de administratie al Apple, a murit pe 5 octombrie 2011 la varsta de 56 ani, dupa o lupta de mai multi ani cu cancerul.
Nascut la 24 februarie 1955, Steve Jobs, pe numele sau real Steven Paul, a descoperit in 2003 ca are o tumoare neuroendocrina, o forma rara, dar operabila de cancer pancreatic. Timp de noua luni, Jobs a amanat interventia chirurgicala, starnind o serie de nemultumiri in cadrul consiliului de administratie Apple.
In 2004, el a suferit o interventie chirurgicala de succes care a eliminat tumorea pancreatica, iar in anii urmatori, Jobs a inceput sa dezvaluie detalii despre starea lui de sanatate.
Steve Jobs a fondat compania Apple intr-un garaj, in 1976, impreuna cu Steve WOZNiak. El a demisionat in 1985, in urma unei lupte interne pentru putere, dar a revenit la conducere in 1997.
El a orchestrat de atunci lansarea unor produse, care au schimbat industrii, precum calculatorul iMac, MP3 Player-ul iPod, tableta iPad sau smartphone-ul iPhone.
