Happy Birthday, Steve! Today is Apple CEO and founder and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs’ 50th birthday. Jobs was born on February 24, 1955.
“Working with Stephen Wozniak, Jobs helped launch the personal-computer revolution by introducing the first Apple computer in 1976. Jobs later successfully established Apple’s line as a user-friendly, graphically oriented alternative to the IBM-Microsoft personal computer and an important factor in desktop publishing. He resigned in 1985 after losing a corporate power struggle. In 1985 he founded the NeXT Computer Company and in 1986 bought Pixar Animation Studios, a computer animation firm founded by George Lucas. When Pixar went public in 1995, Jobs became an overnight billionaire. In 1997, Jobs returned to Apple as interim chief executive and since has helped revive the financially ailing company while reestablishing his own reputation as an industry visionary.” – The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

somehow I just knew MDN would report this too….
Happy iBirthday!
Us Pieces are such the creative types. My 38th Birthday is Monday. Perhaps I’ll celebrate with a trip to the Apple Store?
Last year I was in SF for the Apple Store opening and I got a great Apple logo tattoo.
Happy B-Day to you, too iSteve !!
Yeah, Ive heard for years that Pieces was the “creative” sign….
So, it would stand to reason that more Pieces people would be avid Mac heads….. At any rate, it would be an interesting study, should someone decide to take it on…
The interesting thing is that he is also one the of oldest people in his company. He must not think much of people his age
The big five oh!
Steve! Enjoy the Viagra years.
I believe you guys mean “pisces”, not “pieces”. I thought you were talking about the candy that ET ate, not a zodiac sign…
Happy Birthday Steve – i’ve sent you a lovely Firewire cable as a gift

Yes, Jimbo – pisces. While we are creative we are not known for our spelling…
What? Jobs and I have the same birthday? Well, knock me over with a feather!
Congratulations, son, here’s to another 50 years at the top [toasts].
I sent a “Happy Birthday” email to: sjobs@apple.com
It didn’t come back, I wonder where it went???
Happy Birthday Steve. Your buddy, Bill
Is that the right e-mail for Steve Jobs?! I wanna wish him happy b-day, too.
Happy Birthday: The age you see Abraham, Steve !
Wisdom and management are even and easier from now on…
Happy Birthday Steve. Thanks for everything so far. Keep on keeping on!
Heyyyy, Steve-O! Wow . . . you’re fricking old! Come onnnn, it’s a joke. Laugh with me. But seriously — watch that whole cancer thing, okay, Steve? I mean, we don’t need you checking out while that monkey-wrangler Gates is still alive and kicking . . . or before I sell off my AAPL stock, you know what I mean? Hah! No, I keed, I keed. Seriously, keep growing de market share and everything’s copasetic, okay? And by the way, lose the turtleneck. It’s not 1992 anymore! No really, happy birthday to a great CEO . . .
FOR ME TO POOP ON!
The surest way to make someone grow old prematurely is to annually remind them of their aging. Birthdays are for children. Once you get past 30, you don’t want to be reminded of it. Sure the birthday girl/boy smiles to be kind. How many times do you need to be reminded that you were born? Anyway, do your friends a favour and supprise them with a gift when they least expect it. Live agelessly!!
Where is Steve celebrating his birthday? If he makes a public appearance where are the paparazz? Follow the Gulfstream. And we call ourselves iLeader watchers? The future of my AAPL stock depends on him.

From what I read, Steve does actually read his email himself. So if you guys are actually planning to send him mail, try not to spam too much and kindly highlight the firewire cable issue to him while you’re at it.
As for his email address, I don’t think its nice to announce it in the open. But if you have watched some of his keynotes, he actually uses his genuine address in some of the demo he does.
Happy big 5-0 Steve and thanks for the USB enema yesterday.
That’s hilarious, max.
He’s “cool like that”. Happy birthday Stevie!
