Who is Steve Jobs?
Please note this is taken from Steves PR page at Apple. (Well, except the ninja thing, that is ours.).
Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple, which he co-founded in 1976, and Pixar, the Academy-Award-winning animation studios which he co-founded in 1986.
Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also leading the digital music revolution with its iPod portable music players and iTunes online music store.
Pixar has created six of the most successful and beloved animated films of all time: Academy Award-winning Toy Story (1995) A Bugs Life (1998) Toy Story 2 (1999) Monsters, Inc. (2001) Academy Award-winning Finding Nemo (2003) and The Incredibles (2004). Pixars six films have grossed more than $3 billion at the worldwide box office to date.
Steve grew up in the apricot orchards which later became known as Silicon Valley, and still lives there with his wife and three children. We secretly believe he is a ninja.

1- Steve Jobs didn't get sick with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cancer got sick with Steve Jobs.....and lost.
2- The iPod, is in fact the holy grail. The vessel of the savior, the stuff of legend. What does that make Steve?
3- While delivering a keynote Steve was tempted by the devil. Unswayed, Steve convinced the him to come out on stage in a bunny suit. The rest is history.
4- Steve Jobs once fired someone for not dreaming as vividly as possible.
5- Macbook Steve was too over the top, even for Steve Jobs.
6- If at first you don't succeed, start a new company, and come back to the first one.
7- Steve and Jesus were walking down the beach when a group of hackey sackers started giving Jesus a hard time. A few minutes later when Jesus came to, he looked back and only saw one set of footprints in the sand. He asked Steve, "Did you carry me." Steve shook his head and said, no I let the tide float your ass down the beach.
8- Steve used to be a professional wrestler, but the competition was far too scared.
9- As part of the new merger with Disney, Pixar CEO Steve Jobs agreed to only exercise 25% of his powers against the other board members of Disney. The results? Time will tell, but look what happened to Pompeii.
10- Steve sits on the board of both heaven and hell. Are you going to bring up the conflict of interest, didn't think so?
11- When Steve Jobs says something is in our DNA, we put our hearts into it, he really means it. Many ass-whippings are handed out to get the product on the shelves. Sometimes blood and hearts are involved.
12- Steve Jobs and Satan were having lunch, Satan asked Steve for advice. Steve told Satan to STFU and pass the tofu. Steve didn't want to have to hurt him.....again.
13- Steve Jobs is vegetarian, or at least, that is what he haves you believe.
14- Steve Jobs once tried to solve the heat power with processors on his own. Shrinking himself done to the size of an atom, he battle the forces of physics. The battle was a draw, but the heat problem worsened from the catastrophic battle.
15- Steve Jobs' tears cure cancer. See it worked. (Though no one was there to witness the event)
16- In the beginning Steve Jobs created the heavens and the earth....
17- Steve Jobs has been pulled over 43 times for driving with a video iPod taped to the bill of his hat. The video? Toby Keith.
18- Steve Jobs is the mother of invention.
19- Steve Jobs once polished a turd so brightly that he could use it to read at night.
20- Steve Jobs was Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla's hero.
21- How many members of the Jobs family it takes to change a light bulb? One, only Steve, he simply holds it and waits for the universe to revolve around him.
22- Nobody sells insurance to Steve Jobs.
No one figured how to set the premium if your business is making dents in the Universe.
23- If Steve Jobs were gay, he would be Bill Gates, Chuck Norris, Van damme, Jack Bauer & Vin Diesel
