Learn about the far-reaching impact of Steve Jobs’ entrepreneurship and innovation on our daily lives,and how his patents and trademarks reveal the importance intellectual property plays in the global marketplace. On view are an Apple Macintosh computer, mouse, and keyboard; a NeXT monitor, keyboard, mouse, sound box, and microcomputer; and an Apple iPod.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. RIPJOB_120513_002.JPG: The Patents and Trademarks of Steve Jobs: Art and Technology that Changed the World This exhibit was developed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and Invent Now, Inc.
2. RIPJOB_120513_010.JPG: Apple Macintosh, 1984: The Macintosh was the product of an Apple Computer team, lead by Steve Jobs from 1981 until product release in 1984. It had features that were new to home computers, including a mouse, overlapping windows, icons, and relatively powerful graphics. The Macintosh was a complete, ready-to-plug-in unit. (Previously, hobbyists often assembled home computers out of parts from several firms.) The case design, patented by Jobs and two colleagues, has a spare, clean look that Jobs favored.
3. RIPJOB_120513_018.JPG: iPod 15GB, about 2003: In 2001, Apple began to sell software called iTunes, which ran only on Apple computers. Songs downloaded from CDs could be uploaded to portable music players, dubbed iPods. The company soon distributed songs directly through its online iTunes store, and sold iPods like this one that were compatible with several brands of computer[s]. With others a co-inventors, Steve Jobs took out more than 80 patents relating to the iPod.
4. RIPJOB_120513_025.JPG: NeXT Workstation, 1992: Initial sales of the Macintosh were disappointing, and disagreements arose between Jobs and other Apple executives. He and five coworkers left Apple in 1985 to start a new firm that built the NeXT, a powerful workstation with graphical capabilities like those of the Macintosh. It went on sale in 1989. Jobs and several co-inventors took out patents for the graphical interface of the NeXT. Apple acquired these patents in 1996, when Jobs returned there.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
