When Steve Jobs attended this high school, he enrolled in a popular electronics course. He became friends with a student named Bill Fernandez, who introduced the 14-year-old Jobs to "Woz"- 19-year-old Steve Wozniak.

The two became fast friends over their mutual love of electronics. One of their first business ventures was selling "blue boxes"- devices that made illegal long distance phone calls. They tried selling them door-to-door at the dorms of UC-Berkley, where Woz attended school, but quit after nearly being caught by the police.

Now known as Cupertino Middle School, Steve Jobs attended this school when it was Cupertino Junior High. Santa Clara county was in the middle of a transformation into what is now known as Silicon Valley. Engineers from Hewlett-Packard and Shockley Semiconductor Company lived in the area, and Jobs was interested in the gadgetry of their garages.

As a boy, his father introduced him to Heathkits, a type of engineering-toy kit for children. This led to Jobs viewing the world in a different way.

As he put it in 1995 Smithsonian interview: "It gave one a understanding of what was inside a finished product and how it worked because it would include a theory of operation but maybe even more importantly it gave one the sense that one could build the things that one saw around oneself in the universe. These things were not mysteries anymore."

Steve Jobs attended this elementary school. He wasn't fond of school, but had a teacher Imogen "Teddy" Hill, who bribed him to learn with candy bars and $5 bills.

Jobs said of her: "She was one of the saints of my life. She taught an advanced fourth grade class, and it took her about a month to get hip to my situation. She bribed me into learning."

Jobs learned enough to skip the fifth grade, and attended Crittenden Middle School briefly. He was picked on, and he gave his parents an ultimatum: he would either transfer to a different school, or quick attending school altogether. The young tactician was successful, and he transferred to Cupertino Junior High.

The San Remo is a luxury, 27-floor, co-operative apartment building in New York City located between 74th and 75th streets. Lots of celebs live there.

The 27th floor (top floor) of the north tower has been combined into a portion of the tower above it (formerly mechanical space for the building itself), creating a unique duplex unit. Steve Jobs owned this unit and oversaw the renovation with architect I.M. Pei, but Jobs never lived there. This unit was purchased by Bono from Jobs for $15 million.

After Steve Jobs was unceremoniously booted from Apple Computer in 1985 (he actually resigned after being pressured out), he took a core group of employees and started NeXT, Inc.

NeXT had a variety of business models and products both hardware and software. Tim Berners-Lee used a NeXT Computer in 1991 to create the first web browser and web server; accordingly, NeXT was instrumental in the development of the World Wide Web.

In the early 1990s John Carmack used a NeXTcube to build two of his pioneering games, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

Oh yeah, and they pioneered object-oriented programming, graphical user interfaces, and web application servers which enabled dynamic page generation based on user interactions as opposed to static content.
