'''Steve Jobs''' (February 24, 1955 -- October 5, 2011) was an American inventor, film producer and business executive who pioneered much of the popular penetration of personal computers and their related applications in popular culture.

In 2013, a {{Biopic}} entitled ''Film/{{Jobs}}'' was released, starring Ashton Kutcher in the title role.

Although a post-secondary dropout, his flair for technology and how to design and market it combined with the technical mastery of his partner, Steve Wozniak, helped create Apple Computer in 1976. From that partnership, Apple grew to be a major player in the embryonic consumer market with innovative products like the AppleII and the {{Macintosh}}. However, Jobs' abrasive personality and stubbornly selective acknowledgement of reality alienated much of the staff and management, and Apple's market difficulties in the mid-1980s gave a convenient rationale to dismiss him from the company. However, some accounts stated that he left the company on his own accord after he was [[KickedUpstairs technically made a puppet]]- he is still the chairman of the company, but is stripped off all decision-making powers and assigned to an almost-empty building instead.[[http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=The_End_Of_An_Era.txt]]

However, his stubborn personality and eccentricities also led to him not properly dealing with his declining health and he died of cancer in 2011.

On his own, Jobs founded the [=NeXT=] computer company, which struggled under his exacting design specifications and slow sales of [=PCs=] that proved to be ahead of their time in many respects. Along the way, Jobs also purchased the computer graphics organization, The Graphics Group, from Creator/GeorgeLucas. This organization was later renamed Creator/{{Pixar}} and would go under Jobs' corporate management to become a major innovator in computer animation and a dominant artistic force in WesternAnimation, first in cooperation with Creator/{{Disney}} in feature films like ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' in 1995 and then as a purchased subsidiary of the film in 2006 with its artist head, JohnLasseter, put in charge of all of the company's animation.

In 1996, [=NeXT=] was bought by Apple and Jobs returned to the company and soon resumed control. Under his leadership, the lagging company soon prospered with the iMac [=PCs=], but also branched out into new products that made a deep impact in the pop culture. Jobs oversaw the creation of the iPod MP3 player that became the pre-eminent example of a new music market, which was complimented by the iTunes store that redefined online recorded media retail, while he also manipulated desperate media companies in the sagging music industry to cooperate in an arrangement shamelessly stacked in Apple's favor.

After these successes, Jobs' prescient technology business sense and his almost obsessive commitment to innovative design led to further groundbreaking products. These included the iPhone, which opened the smart phone market from a business-oriented one to a general consumer item, and the iPad, which similarly kicked started the tablet [=PC=] market largely by itself.

However, his stubborn personality and eccentricity also lead to him not properly dealing with his declining health and he died of cancer in 2011.

Steve Jobs has been hailed as one of great American business innovators and leaders of modern times with a popular culture impact at least as profound.

In 2013, a {{Biopic}} of Steve Jobs' life, entitled ''Jobs'' was released, starring Ashton Kutcher as Jobs.
