    Steve Jobs has died

    10/05/2011 5:00:38 PM
    CUPERTINO, Calif. - Steve Jobs, the Apple founder and former CEO who invented and masterfully marketed ever-sleeker gadgets that transformed everyday technology, from the personal computer to the iPod and iPhone, has died. He was 56.
    Apple announced his death without giving a specific cause.
    "We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," the company said in a brief statement.
    "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve"
    Jobs had battled cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January _ his third since his health problems began _ before resigning as CEO six weeks ago. Jobs became Apple's chairman and handed the CEO job over to his hand-picked successor, Tim Cook.
    The news Apple fans and shareholders had been dreading came the day after Apple unveiled its latest version of the iPhone, just one in a procession of devices that shaped technology and society while Jobs was running the company. LINK

    This, from the Apple Website:

    Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

    Steve was an interesting person. He will be remembered in computer (and consumer) history. He was a wierdo that did things his own way, and made things happen that would not have otherwise. RIP Steve.

    Steve Jobs has earned his spot in global history for changing telecommunications/communications while only earning an annual salary of $1.00. Kuddos goes to Jobs!

    Project, Topper, well said Do I even want to watch the Alex Jones video?? The title itself turns me off.
    Without Jobs and Wozniak, we wouldn't even be here today, sharing, caring, arguing, discussing in this cyber world.
    And then there's Bill Gates' Software that brings us all together.
    I think that Steve Jobs will be greatly missed.

    More than interesting!!!

    Steve Jobs had 'top secret' security clearance



    Steve Jobs FBI file details GPA, LSD,
    Bomb Threats, Security Clearance & More


    Z6Mag.com


    On Thursday February 9th, 2012 the FBI released the Steve Jobs FBI file due to the Freedom of Information Act. The file is a 191 page document which we’ve provided below so that you can read it, download it or print it yourself. The legal name for Mr. Jobs revealed in the file is Steven Paul Jobs.

    It seems the reason for the collection of information, background checks and character scrutinizing was because Steve Jobs was being considered for a Presidential Appointment to George H.W. Bush’s administration (Bush #1). The appointment was to be for the President’s Export Council and most of the information and interviews were collected in 1991 by close associates of Steve Jobs.

    Many of the people interviewed recommended jobs for the Presidential Appointment stating he had integrity and honest business dealings in their recollection. The Associated Press got confirmation from the Commerce Department that Steve Jobs did in fact serve on the council he was recommended for during the first Bush administration.

    While many reports and information has surfaced before of Steve Job’s drug use, it was confirmed in this FBI investigation. The interviews reviewed that Steve Jobs LSD use and marijuana use were things he did while in college and finding himself. Mr. Jobs had never denied using LSD and marijuana while he was young.



    A Top Secret Security Clearance was brought up in Steve Job’s FBI report detailing when it was and when it was terminated. The top secret clearance for Mr. Jobs started in 1988 and was canceled in 1990.

    Steve Jobs was working at Pixar in the same time as the top secret clearance and was listed as his employer. Gawker.com had sources contact them and said, “A source who worked with Jobs emailed to say “several people had security clearances at Pixar since, in the early days, they were selling an image rendering software system that could be used to enhance satellite surveillance photographs and film.”
