More quotes by Steve Jobs
When you’re in a startup, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not.
Steve Jobs
We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.
Steve Jobs
We've demonstrated a strong track record of being very disciplined with the use of our cash. We don't let it burn a hole in our pocket, we don't allow it to motivate us to do stupid acquisitions. And so I think that we'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.
Steve Jobs
Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply.
Steve Jobs
All the work I've done in my life will be obsolete by the time I'm fifty.
Steve Jobs
Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
Steve Jobs
I think this is the start of something really big. Sometimes that first step is the hardest one, and we've just taken it.
Steve Jobs
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs
I'm as proud of many of the things we haven't done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things.
Steve Jobs
We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
Steve Jobs
We limit how much technology our kids use at home.
Steve Jobs
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
I'd say we [Apple Inc.] are the most creative of the technology companies and definitely the most artist-friendly. Almost everyone in the music business uses a Mac and everyone has an iPod.
Steve Jobs
The web is just going to be one more of those major change factors that businesses face every decade.
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
The reason that Apple is able to create products like iPad is because we always try to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts, to be able to get the best of both.
Steve Jobs
Innovation means saying 'no' to a thousand things.
Steve Jobs
Our friends up north spend over five billion dollars on research and development and all they seem to do is copy Google and Apple.
Steve Jobs
Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.
Steve Jobs
When we started off we didn't know how to spell software.
Steve Jobs
