## Bio

Born in San Francisco in 1955 and adopted shortly after, Jobs attended Reed College in 1972 before dropping out, then traveled through India in 1974 seeking enlightenment. He co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976; the Apple II made them both famous and wealthy a year later as one of the first mass-produced microcomputers. After seeing the mouse-driven Xerox Alto in 1979, Jobs pushed for the Macintosh, released in 1984 as the first mass-produced computer with a graphical interface, launching desktop publishing with the LaserWriter in 1985. Fired by Apple's board that same year after a power struggle with CEO John Sculley, he founded NeXT and bought Pixar in 1986, which produced Toy Story in 1995 and became a leading animation studio. Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, bringing Jobs back as CEO to rescue the failing company; working with designer Jony Ive, he introduced the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad over the next decade. Diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003, he resigned in 2011 and died of respiratory arrest that October, holding over 450 patents.
