Apple Computer
. Before and after his death in 2011, Jobs was known as a counter-culture figure within the computer industry, and as a perfectionist who could be demanding of his colleagues and employees—sometimes to the point of cruelty.
Jobs's official biographer, Walter Isaacson, described him as a "creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing".[1]
