Steve Jobs, RIP

Steve Jobs passed away this evening. In 1976, after selling his Volkswagen Van to raise money, he began a new venture making computers in his parents’ garage with Steve Wozniak. Below is the famous commercial from the 1984 Super Bowl that introduced the Apple Macintosh personal computer.

From computers to iPods to iPhones to iPads, his work, leadership, and innovation contributed to the way we live today. Rest in peace.
