Steve Jobs: Billion Dollar Hippie

Broadly considered a brand that inspires fervour and defines cool consumerism, Apple has become one of the biggest corporations in the world, fuelled by game-changing products that tap into modern desires. Its leader, Steve Jobs, was a long-haired college dropout with infinite ambition, and an inspirational perfectionist with a bully’s temper. A man of contradictions, he fused a Californian counterculture attitude and a mastery of the art of hype with explosive advances in computer technology.

Insiders including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the chairman who ousted Jobs from the company he founded, and Jobs’ chief of software, tell extraordinary stories of the rise, fall and rise again of Apple with Steve Jobs at its helm.

With Stephen Fry, world-wide web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and branding guru Rita Clifton, Evan Davis decodes the formula that took Apple from suburban garage to global supremacy.

Thoughts of a Volunteer – Steven Paul Jobs

Yesterday we loss one of, if not THE visionary, innovator, creator and great thinkers of modern times.  Steve Jobs succumbed to his illness of Pancreatic Cancer.

As a young student, you read about those that created history, invention and innovation, and you seemed so far removed from that era.  Steve Jobs changed the world with his mind, vision, leadership and testicular fortitude within the last 30 years – our era. 

So we take this time to salute the man who affected the world forever and his influence will spark the next era’s minds to make their mark on technology, as well as humanity.

iAdmire. iInspired. iSad.

JAMBOX by Jawbone For iPhone/iPad

One of the biggest issues with iPhones & iPads are the minimal speaker clarity.  You could always buy speakers for them, but to get that rich sound that you’d like…you probably have to buy big speakers to match.  Well, Jawbone (best known for their earpieces) has created the JAMBOX.  Stunning hi-fi audio in a portable wireless speaker with an output capacity of 85 decibels.  Unlike other portable speakers, it’s powered by a pair of proprietary, highly sophisticated acoustic drivers, unmatched in their ability to produce extreme high (tweeter) and low (woofer) frequencies from a single, ultra-small dome speaker.  Peep the video above to see all of the options of JAMBOX and it comes in four more colorways if you’re not feelin’ the red.  You can cop’em HERE.
