Happy Birthday!

Apple fans across the world are recognizing what would have been the birthday of Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple. He passed away last October after a long battle with pancreatic cancer; leaving a lasting legacy. Jobs would have turned 57 today.


With the increasing use of Apple products, Steve Jobs became highly recognized over the past few years. He helped to transform digital communications and technology with a string of products like the Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad. Instead of thinking of technology as a geeky hobby, he helped change most to view it as a modern life necessity.

In this day-in-age it is hard to think of what life would be like without technology – without knowing your friend’s every move in just a “slide to unlock” and a few fingertip taps. I just got my first Apple product this past Christmas and now I am not sure why it took me so long to make the switch.

A couple of Mac-obsessed fans plan to stage a birthday party outside of the company’s Fifth Avenue store. Putting aside any criticism that it may be too soon, and aside from the weirdness, dancers will gyrate (yes gyrate) to Bob Dylan songs all while vegetarian birthday cake is served. Black turtlenecks will be passed out to the hundreds of Apple fans.

The party planners have yet to notify Apple that this full-blown party will be taking place outside of their store – wonder how this will go over? In case you are interested in attending the event, it will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. I suggest arriving a bit early if you want one of the turtlenecks and the veggie birthday cake.

Three apples changed the world: Adam and Eve's forbidden apple, Newton's apple and finally, Steve Jobs's Apple. Happy Birthday Steve Jobs.
