Apple's Steve Jobs Passed Away

Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.

Steve Jobs, the legendary former CEO founder of  Apple passed away today on account of rare form of pancreatic cancer. He was 56  He is responsible for the revival of Apple after it was almost driven back to the ground by CEO whose expertise was mass mraketing of commodity.

He is iconic and and eulogies tell that he will be remembered for ages in Silicon Valley and in the electronics industry.  He is behind the hit products like ipad and iphone.  The market value of Apple reached $340 billion.  At the height of US debt limit crisis in July, Apple was rumored to have more cash balance that the US treasury.  That was how wildly successful Apple was.

Steve Jobs was not a pure techie. (Steve Wozniak was the techie)  But he was the visionary.  He married art and and science.

Steve Jobs popularized the idea that you can create an empire from out of your garage.  His example spawned plenty of entrepreneurs and success stories in the IT field and in the silicon valley.

You should admire the marketing genius of Apple.  For example, Galaxy is technologically superior to Iphone; but many consumers think that Galaxy will not get that close to Iphone.

One of the important quotes from Steve Jobs:  - "Make a dent in the uiniverse."
