Apple is an American multinational corporation that designs and markets consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. The company's best-known hardware products include the Macintosh line of computers, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad.

NeXT was an American computer company headquartered in Redwood City, California, that developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations intended for the higher education and business markets. NeXT was founded by Steve Jobs in 1985 after he resigned from Apple. NeXT introduced the first NeXT Computer in 1988, and the smaller NeXTstation in 1990.

3. Person who turned around Pixar. Pixar began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, part of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm before it was acquired by Steve Jobs in 1986. Jobs paid $5 million to George Lucas and put $5 million as capital into the company. The Walt Disney Company bought Pixar in 2006 at a valuation of $7.4 billion; the transaction made Jobs the largest shareholder in Disney.
