Steve Jobs.
Oct 6th
Steve Jobs was an icon, visionary, hero to many.
Pretty much anyone and everyone that is touched by tech understands what the loss of Steve Jobs is to the world today.
He was responsible for the first personal computer I used for hours on end in my bedroom from back when I was in 3rd grade.
I had the Apple II plus, IIe, IIgs, Mac TV, Mac. . . and iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch today.
Apple was the reason why I started programming in BASIC, C, COBAL, FORTRAN. . .ah, the memories.
The media is paying tribute with photo essays, interviews, blasts from the past, and more.
Here’s is one of Steve’s more memorable addresses from the stage. This time, it wasn’t at DevCon or other place where he was part of announcing revolutionary new products or technology.
It is just Steve, sharing his own life story and life plan with future leaders in the crowd.

There are a couple of scenarios when you want to do a complete master reset for your Apple iPhone4.

- SCROLL DOWN to the last item — and click on “RESET”
- You’ll get several options: Settings, All Content & Settings, Network settings, Keyboard Dictionary, etc. CLICK ON “ERASE ALL CONTENT & SETTINGS”

- On the warning screen, click “ERASE iPHONE“
- Wait for the device to wipe all the data on the phone and come back to life!
