Born in 1955 (the same year as Bill Gates), Steve Jobs is the co-founder and charismatic CEO of Apple Inc. He is one of the greatest innovators of Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs led the creation of the Macintosh, which was the first stable computer to have a GUI and a mouse. Subsequently, he was fired from the very company that he founded and went on to found another computer company called NeXT. Due to a miscalculated market approach, NeXT computers flopped due to their high price. However, he had another company called Pixar, which became his comeback.
Apple invited him back in 1997 and bought NeXT to create a new operating system, which became Mac OSX. Steve Jobs led Apple Inc. to create many new and innovative products including the iMac, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, etc.
Steve Jobs is known for his domineering personality, but is also known for his keen vision in the technological future. He also the lowest paid CEO in the world with an annual salary of $1.

Steve Jobs: "Look, the Apple keyboard is not small enough. So instead of a regular QWERTY keyboard, I want to make it like a cell phone keypad, where each key has three letters."
Apple employees: "That's such a good idea, Steve! We're already getting good ideas. How about if we--"
Steve Jobs: "No! No! This is a stupid idea! You're all fired, you assholes! If I can't trust you to tell me when an idea is stupid, why are you here? Get out! Right now!"

Steve Jobs: Hey, lets add a mouse to the keyboard.
Bill Gates: What the fuck is a mouse. I'm so pampered I only know about cute animals. Fuck it, whatever sells. But I'm not giving up dos.
Steve Jobs: Why? People don't care about learning your secret language. You should give them a dashboard. Computers should be windows to the world. Fuck, I wish I could think of a less gay phrase.
Bill Gates: No no no. Gay is sweet. Hmm windows.

An innovator who helped invent one of the worlds largest and most wallet snatching companies of all time. Purposefully left things out of products so people would buy the next product. A business move still common in the company today. Steve also revolutionized the world. Criticized by many, he died being hated by PC and Linux lovers all over the world. Hundreds cried over his death. Many who made jokes about him stfu'd or made death jokes to have a laugh at his demise. He may have been able to rob you blind, but he innovated that market fOr many to keep the ball rolling. R.I.P.
No example, except that steve is the reason I learned how to type. I grew up around macs, and people made fun of me for it and called me apple boy. When the ipad came out, they all wanted to look at it. I finally had something they didn't. Thank you jobs. I am writing this on an ipad, so it is kind of symbolic. Steve jobs, I thank you

Something I think I should clarify, because about 90% of the people before me haven't given him the thanks he deserves.
Steve Jobs is the co-founder and former CEO of the famous company Apple. He is part responsible for giving the world the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and the computer mouse. Not to mention the worlds safest, most stable, easy-to-use and surprisingly compatible operating system (OSX) and computers (iMacs and MacBooks). Steve Jobs was a legend and one of the modern world's greatest technological masterminds. Credit, of course, though, has to be given to Apple's other co-founder and employees, but Steve Jobs is the real creative genius. Many people on the Urban Dictionary hate on him because his products are "shit" (that is obviously completely untrue) or because he "doesn't donate to charity like Bill Gates". He has already given the world enough.
As of October 5, 2011, Steve Jobs has lost his long battle with pancreatic cancer. The Earth has lost one of history's greatest people.

To stare intently at someone with your hands folded in front of your body until they do what you want.
Sister: Can you pour me cereal?
Brother: (no response)
Sister: (starts to intellectually stare and folds her hands across her body)
Brother: What are you doing?
Sister: Steve Jobsing you.
