RIP: Steve Jobs 1955-2011

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:13:00 -0700

Only 1 day after Apple launched it's latest iPhone 4S, the genius behind the company, Steve Jobs left this world..

I paid a glowing tribute to him just when he resigned as Apple's CEO and 1 of my dreams was to meet him in person. I guess I can only do that in the Hereafter or visit his grave one day..

Rest in Peace Steve...

The world will miss you tremendously & will forever be grateful to you for all the endless ideas that you've made into reality... Ideas that enriches our lives!

You can remember him by going to:

The legacy of an iconic leader: Steve Jobs & Apple

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:44:00 -0700

On the middle of the week this week, Wed, 24th of August 2011, Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple officially resigned his post as the CEO and elected as the Chairman of the Board. The news sends a bit of a shockwave in the business and tech world, but it was kind of highly anticipated.

Jobs, who saved the company from near bankruptcy in the 1990s and transformed it into the phenomenally successful tech giant it is today, will be sorely missed as a leader and an innovator at the company.

Already, the financial markets have reacted to the news, with shares in the company dropping more than 5% in the early hours of trading.

A lot has been written about Steve Jobs when this news broke out on where will Apple be heading, but as he mentioned in his letter; "I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role."

Yes, I believe that too.. but Apple just won't be the same without him. Steve Jobs is one iconic & inspiring business leader; basically he's just irreplaceable!

I've been an Apple user since the days of the Macintosh and today with the Macbook Air. All Apple products are designed with simplicity in mind. The attention to detail and vision from Jobs's relentless pursuit of thinking different and adding value have perfected it's product innovation.

Check out this video of Steve Jobs 2nd coming to Apple after being sacked and sharing his new found believe in branding an idea through its value innovation, instead of just selling features & benefits. Giving tributes to other pioneers who lives life with passion and for striving to change the world.

One of my dreams is to learn from him (of which I'm currently doing always -- I've already pre-ordered his autobiography which will be launched in November) and meet Steve Jobs in person one day & just pick his brains!

BNET paid a huge tribute to Steve Jobs with great write-ups and articles. You can check them out; http://www.bnet.com/photos/steve-jobs-and-apple-a-life

Have a look at some interesting Apple adverts over the years!(http://www.bnet.com/blog/advertising-business/apples-evolution-how-30-years-o...

My favourite was the Mac vs PC adverts featuring Justin Long & John Hodgman! I've got the full collection of the complete campaign. To me, the campaign was hugely entertaining, funny, creative and right-smacked the truth.. :)

Here's another video, showing my favourite Steve Jobs inspiring speech...

Steven Paul Jobs: Driven. Perfectionist. Arrogant. Visionary. Genius. Complicated.

Love him or hate him, you cannot deny that he changed the world. Perhaps the most fitting words come from an Apple ad that ran shortly after his return to save the company:

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. Rebels. Troublemakers. Round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

To Steve, Thank You for being crazy, thinking differently, challenging the status quo & changing the world..

Yes, been a while since I last update this posterous. I have my own domain @ www.ad27ar.com, installed Wordpress in there, put in some posts and somehow it got hacked! So, I decided to just stick with this and just redirect that domain to this. Still figuring that out.

Anyway, I've updated my 101 dream list as a 1 pager inside the blog. Within the next few days/weeks/months, I will placed each dream into a post with more details or specifics = pictures, videos, links etc.

It's going to be an exciting process!
