Jobs and Apple-

despite his genius reputation as a

technology innovator Apple mastermind

Steve Jobs never wrote a single line of

programming code for any of his

multitude of Apple inventions the

programming was left to Steve Wozniak

Jobs one-time partner and Alan bomb

while Jobs never did the programming or

engineering himself he did make the

necessary altercations to the devices

and monitors that made them appear more

user-friendly and accessible in an

effort to demonstrate a point about

making the original iPod even smaller

than what was first handed to him Jobs

dropped the music player into an

aquarium and pointed out the bubbles

that rose to the surface from the device

Jobs told his engineers that these were

air bubbles which meant there was space

in the device to cram the instruments in

engineering even closer together to

produce a smaller iPod the folks at

Apple have continued to take on this

challenge

while the first iPod was nineteen point

nine millimeters thin the most recent

model is 6.1 millimeters jobs eccentric

nature around the office didn't just

affect how he approached work he

expected all of his employees to arrive

on time and extra prepared for the day's

obstacles when one of his secretaries a

single mom trying to make ends meet

showed up late for work because her car

wouldn't start

jobs through her a set of keys to a

brand new Jaguar

with the insistence that she should never be late for work

again Steve Jobs also made his

workplaces a bit more uncomfortable

after committing to diets of only one or

two fruits for weeks at a time

he believed partaking in fruitarianism

the vegan subset diet of eating only

fruit would eliminate his need for

showering so he could spend even more

time mapping out and constructing new

Apple products early employees of jobs

noticed that this diet not only forced

him to have to work the night shift at

Atari due to complaints about his

but his skin color even changed to a

sunset hue because of his restrictive

diet jobs attention to detail often

places the late CEO into two camps an

efficient passionate leader and someone

who may have been downright insane in

jobs called Google's senior vice

president of engineering with a minor

emergency stating that the shade of a

yellow o in Google was not correct and

should be fixed immediately as it did

not look good on the iPhone the issue

was fixed and it was assumed everyone

was finally able to get a good sleep

that night in Apple's early days as a

company an argument broke out amid Steve

Wozniak and Steve Jobs as to who should

be considered the number one on their

identification name badges Wozniak was

offered the number one but Jobs fought

him vehemently for it

angry that he was considered number two

for literally anything while Wozniak

ended up keeping the number one on his

badge Jobs accepted the digit of zero at

his insistence that it comes before the

number one another battle between

Wozniak and Jobs proved jobs disloyalty

to his partner over his own ego after

creating a game called breakout for the

Atari console Wozniak and jobs plan to

split the money made from it at 50/50

when the paycheck was delivered to Jobs

he told Wozniak the company had paid

them $700 total instead of the $5,000

that was originally in the contract

Wozniak went home with a 50/50 split of

$350 while Jobs pocketed 4600 $50 for

himself Jobs insistence that he did not

need modern medical treatments may have

led to his eventual downfall after the

discovery of his pancreatic cancer in

2003 Jobs ignored the advice of doctors

to proceed with necessary surgeries and

exams instead subscribing to extreme

vegan diets practicing the ancient art

of acupuncture utilizing herbal remedies

and even consulting a psychic this

however is not a strange phenomenon

CEOs as using psychics for business

deals and transactions is fairly common

jobs did not attempt surgery for his

cancer until nine months after first

being diagnosed a choice critics say

greatly shortened his life span
