The House that Steve Built 2

The amazing story of Steve Jobs is encapsulated in that bold, beautiful, glass cube that marks the entrance to the open-24/7 Apple Store in Midtown Manhattan. That store's opening was delayed, by the way, by Jobs' insistence on taking that cube, which he designed personally, with him when the store's lease expires (Jobs will have to replace it with something comparable-- the deal was unheard of in New York City commercial real estate).

 

Here's a guy who went from scamming long distance calls for free and making computer games for Atari, to inventing the personal computer and becoming the largest single shareholder of Disney-- not to mention revolutionizing digital music and saving the company that he founded, was then kicked out of, and then was begged to come back to.

 

An amazing story, an amazing store, and (hopefully) an amazing image.
