We must still acknowledge the fact that each of these companies, run along a path carefully marked by some of the best minds in the tech-world. With each of these tech moguls catering to a fan following of well-wishers; ready to challenge other fans over an invention not thought about by their hero; surely inspires them.

One of the exponents of this tech-revolution faced many barriers in his life until life drew the curtains upon him, and today is his first death anniversary. Certainly, I am talking about none other than, the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Try to re-wind back to the same time last year, we all thought that Apple’s days were numbered; however, they still introduced the iPhone 5 with the former glory, and did the job the way Jobs would have.

Here is what he said at one time: “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”
