Still, he was able to say goodbye to some of his longtime colleagues, including Disney CEO Bob Iger; speak with his biographer; and offer advice to Apple executives about the unveiling of the iPhone 4S. I’ve tried to not be afraid to fail, and, matter of fact, I’ve failed quite a bit since leaving Apple.
TG: Are you surprised at the problems Apple is having now, or did you see that coming?
SJ: I try not to talk about Apple too much.
As an infant, Jobs was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs. Based on Disney’s 2022 value, that share—which he passed onto his wife—is worth $22 billion.

Steve Jobs and his wife, Laurene, appear on the red carpet at the 2010 Academy Awards.
Jobs and Laurene Powell married on March 18, 1991.
And, I do agree with you that “In the long run, these things balance out.”
Therefore, I have changed my position 180 degrees - - we will freely help [Engineer 1] make his processors much better for 3D graphics. You know? Can somebody make a three-hundred-dollar box that hooks up to your television on one side and maybe hooks up to ISDN or a cable modem on the other side and allows you for, three hundred dollars, to have a web browser on your TV and to access the entire internet?
Oh wow.”
Fans left flowers, notes, and apples to memorialize Steve Jobs outside an Apple store in London following his death on October 5, 2011.
Jobs’ closest family and friends remembered him at a small gathering, then on October 16, a funeral for Jobs was held on the campus of Stanford University. It’s like your first love, and there will never be another one like it.
His official cause of death was listed as respiratory arrest related to his years-long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Sculley believed Jobs was hurting Apple, and the company’s executives began to phase him out. There’s no question that that will happen, and I think it will happen in the next twenty-four months. It’s sort of … how do you explain it?
Toy Story may even surpass the current 1995 box office leaders, Batman Forever ($184M) and Apollo 13 ($172M), and become the most successful film of 1995.
Toy Story has already become the third most successful animated feature film of all time, topping all of Disney’s classics except “Aladdin” ($217M) and “The Lion King” ($312M).
To $175M and beyond!
Congratulations team,
Steve
“One of the things I always tried to coach myself on was not being afraid to fail.”

Steve,
Andy asked me to look into what we should do in dramatically improving the Intel architecture platform’s 3D graphics performance.
I’m extraordinarily proud of the work that the team at Apple did when I was there. If you see something that doesn't look right, contact us! It’s going to be this very leveling phenomenon, but I think a tremendous amount of goods and services is going to be sold, or at least the demand created for such things, over the web.
TG: What else do you see in the near future for the web, besides the ability to shop in a more kind of complete way through the web?
SJ: It’s not just shopping for goods and services.
One of the things I always tried to coach myself on was not being afraid to fail.
