Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is an American business magnate and inventor. He is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. He was credited in the 1995 movie Toy Story as an executive producer.

In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula, and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1984, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. Apple's subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since 1997.

In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1% until its acquisition by The Walt Disney company in 2006. Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7% and a member of Disney's Board of Directors.(Wikipedia)

After Resignation, Details Emerge On Steve Jobs’ Birth Family

Steve Jobs Family

Since the news of Steve Jobs’ surprising resignation from Apple, there’s been a notable and understandable increased interest in the former CEO’s life. Having been in the spotlight for so long, we already knew a fair bit about the CEO — but now, we’re learning the surprising details about his birth family.

The New York Post kicked off the prying by tracking down Jobs’ biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali (bottom right). Here’s the rundown: the 80-year-old explained that his then-girlfriend gave birth to Jobs in 1955, but her father wouldn’t allow her to marry a Syrian man, prompting the couple to give up Jobs for adoption. Her father died shortly thereafter, and the two married. Jandali, by the way, is vice president of a casino in Reno, Nevada. He has a Mac, iPhone and iPad. He’s used those devices to email Jobs a few times, but hasn’t ever spoken to him. And as the Post‘s reporter notes, “Both wear rimless glasses, both have grey hair receding in exactly the same place, and both have the same handsome swarthy features.”

The media fascination with Jobs’ birth family doesn’t end there. ABC News, picking up on the story, notes that Mona Simpson (bottom left), a famous novelist, is Jobs’ birth sister. Jandali married Jobs’ mother by the time Simpson was born, so she was raised by the couple. Jobs and Simpson met as adults — and Simpson wrote a book about the experience.

And finally, there’s the bit about another family Jobs speaks little of. Seemingly unbeknownst to many, Jobs fathered a child with his high school girlfriend, a fact he apparently denied for many years.

While none of the details were exactly a secret before, they’re slowly surfacing in the wake of Jobs’ resignation. Does this all come off as an bit too Jerry Springer/Maury-ish to you, or is it a compelling part of Jobs’ story?

We recently heard of Steve Jobs' resignation as Apple's CEO. His resignation made it in front page news, making techies and iFans all around the world sadder than Tom (if you don't know Tom don't ask). What most people don't know is the underlying reason of his resignation: Steve Jobs has cancer.

Well, it's not new. Steve Jobs has been struck by cancer a long 7 years ago. And it's just not any kind of cancer. He has Islet Cell Neuroendocrine cancer in his pancreas. That ought to fix everyone telling he has pancreatic cancer. Ponder on this: Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, a billionaire, struck by cancer. His riches can't do anything to save him.

Just a couple of hours ago, a picture of Steve Jobs surfaced on the internet, showing the cancer-struck CEO as a frail and pale man. As far as I know, it was released by TMZ:

Compared to his showmanship, Steve Jobs is now just a shadow of his former self.

But that's not all. The above picture's authenticity was challenged by a Redditor, saying that it's warped and edited to show a weaker, frailer Jobs. Here's the same picture complete with the fake cancer picture captions:
Regardless if Steve Jobs' cancer picture is faked for a more shocking effect or not, it doesn't remove the fact that he is dying and might not be with us soon. He knows this, he realizes this, that's why he stepped down as Apple's CEO.

With that said, Steve fought a good fight. For 7 years, he raged against his cancer when ordinarily people with his condition is only given months to live. I know he has lived a wonderful life, more so because his creations are complete successes. When he goes down, at least he burned out. Better to burn out than fade away as they say.

Let's see what God has in his sleeve. He might play the "Magically disappear" card on Steve Jobs' cancer, don't you think? Whatever happens, I picture him as a man in peace.
