Sex in the Dark
There was this couple that had been married for 20 years.
Every time they made love, the husband always insisted on shutting off
the light. Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous.
She figures she would break him of this crazy habit. So one night,
while they were in the middle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she
turned on the lights. She looked down and saw her husband was holding
a battery-operated leisure device...
A Superdupper-vibra-hairy-vibrator!
Soft, wonderful and larger than a real one. She went completely
ballistic. 'You impotent bastard,' She screamed at him, 'How could you
be lying to me all of these years? You better explain yourself!'
The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly:
'I'll explain the toy. . You explain the kids.'

Steve Jobs 1955-2011 #Quotes
Iată câteva dintre gândurile lui Steve Jobs din ultimii 25 de ani, potrivit guardian.co.uk:
Despre viaţă
"Gândul că voi muri în curând este unealta cea mai importantă care mă ajută să iau deciziile mari în viaţă. Pentru că aproape totul, toate aşteptările exterioare, mândria, frica de a te face de ruşine sau teama de eşec- toate pălesc în faţa morţii, lăsând doar ceea ce este cu adevărat important. Să-ţi aminteşti că vei muri este cea mai bună modalitate pe care o ştiu să nu cazi în capcană şi să te gândeşti că ai ceva de pierdut. Eşti deja gol. Nu există niciun motiv să nu-ţi urmezi inima", citat din discursul din 2005 de la Stanford.
Despre motivaţie
"Acestea sunt motto-urile mele - concentrare şi simplitate. Ceva simplu poate fi mai greu decât ceva complex: trebuie să munceşti din greu să-ţi limpezeşti gândurile pentru a face ceva simplu. Dar merită în final pentru că după ce ajungi acolo poţi să muţi munţii din loc", Business Week 1998.
Despre bani
"Nu mă interesează să fiu cel mai bogat om din cimitir. Pentru mine contează să mă duc la culcare seara şi să pot spune că am făcut ceva minunat", Wall Street Journal 1993
Despre clienţi
"Nimic nu mă mulţumeşte mai mult decât să primesc un mail de la o persoană oarecare din univers care tocmai a cumpărat un iPad şi îmi spune că e cel mai tare produs pe care l-a cumpărat vreodată. Asta mă face să merg mai departe. Asta m-a făcut să merg mai departe în ultimii cinci ani ( de când a fost depistat cu cancer), asta m-a făcut să continui şi în ultimii zece ani când uşile mi-au fost aproape închise. Şi asta mă va face să merg mai departe încă cinci ani de acum încolo indiferent de ce se va întâmpla", conferinţa AllThingsD, 2010.
Despre muncă
"Munca îţi va ocupa o mare parte din viaţă şi singura modalitate de a fi satisfăcut este să faci ce crezi că este un lucru minunat. Şi singura modalitate de a face treabă bună este să iubeşti ceea ce faci. Dacă nu ai găsit încă, trebuie să continui să cauţi. Nu te complace în această situaţie. Vei afla când o vei găsi. Şi, la fel ca orice relaţie minunată, cu timpul va deveni din ce în ce mai bună. Continuă să o cauţi până o vei găsi. Nu te complace", discursul Stanford, 2005.
Despre instinct
"Nu poţi să uneşti punctele dacă te uiţi înainte, poţi să le conectezi dacă te uiţi înapoi. Şi trebuie să ai încredere că punctele se vor lega cumva în viitor. trebuie să ai încredere în ceva - destin, viaţă, karma, orice. Această abordare nu m-a dezamăgit niciodată şi a făcut diferenţa în viaţa mea", discursul Stanford 2005.
Steve Jobs a pierdut lupta cu cancerul. Co-fondatorul companiei Apple a murit la vârsta de 56 de ani. Jobs avea mai multe probleme grave de sănătate - inclusiv cancer pancreatic, pentru tratarea căruia a făcut şi un transplant de ficat, în 2009. Când boala a ajuns în fază terminală, Steve Jobs renunţase la conducerea gigantului Apple.

Steve Jobs Dead in 2011: Death in His Own Words
By IBTimes Staff Reporter | October 5, 2011
While Steve Jobs' death in 2011 is shocking, it wasn't unexpected. Jobs had battled cancer for years. He had an operation in 2004, a liver transplant in 2009, and took three leaves of absence before he permanatly resigned as the CEO of Apple in August 2011.
While Steve Jobs' death in 2011 is shocking, it wasn't unexpected. Jobs had battled cancer for years. He had an operation in 2004, a liver transplant in 2009, and took three leaves of absence before he permanatly resigned as the CEO of Apple in August 2011.
Even after he resigned, he still remained an Apple employee and even negotiated with "another Silicon Valley executive only weeks earlier," according to theNew York Times.
Jobs, it seems, worked until his last weeks, which may not be too surprising.
In a 2005 speech he gave to Stanford graduates, Jobs spoke about death.
"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?'" he said.
With his health ailing, it seemd Jobs woke up each morning and still wanted to be a part of Apple, even when he could no longer fulfilll his role as the CEO. READ THE FULL ARTICLE: ibTimes
Steve Jobs Dead 2011: Nancy Pelosi Says 'Products Brought Joy'
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) reacted to the passing of Apple CEO Steve Jobs Wednesday night. In a released statement, she called Jobs a "visionary" and an "innovator whose products brought joy to millions."
Steve Jobs
Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)[2][6][7][8] was an American computer entrepreneur and inventor. He was co-founder,[9]chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.[10][11] Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer.[12]
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula,[9] and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Macintosh.[13][14] After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985,[15][16] Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets. Apple's subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he served as its CEO from 1997 until 2011.
In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios.[17] He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1 percent until its acquisition by The Walt Disney company in 2006.[18] Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7 percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors.[19][20]
On August 24, 2011, Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. In his letter of resignation, Jobs strongly recommended that the Apple executive succession plan be followed and Tim Cook be named as his successor. Per his request, Jobs was appointed chairman of Apple's board of directors.[21][22][23][24] On October 5, 2011, Apple announced that Jobs had died.[8][25] He was 56 years old.[26] His aim, to develop products that are both functional and elegant, had earned him a devoted following.[27] - wiki
