Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs & Apple & Pixar

I've been on a bit of a Pixar craze lately with all the announcements of new movies. So, Tuesday night I watched "The Pixar Story," a 2007 documentary on the origins of Pixar, their struggles, and triumphs. A key player in the success of Pixar is Steve Jobs. He saw potential in the company and took a risk by investing in them. He initially lost millions, but stuck with Pixar to see them grow into the animation giant they are now.

He weathered the storm as he had done with Apple, and his foresight and determination paid off. He's a revolutionary innovator, and technical interface design and product marketing genius. Apple will miss him as the CEO, but he'll still be an integral part of their success as a Chairman.

Job well done.
