Steve Jobs was 42 when he became Apple CEO the second time. I feel like we need to talk about Apple in terms of Jobs 1.0 and Jobs 2.0.

Right, a lot of Apple fans regularly forget that Apple was nearly bankrupt[1] in the late 1990's until the $150M deal with Microsoft and the return of Steve Jobs. It's almost Apple 1.0 and Apple 2.0. They are the same company pretty much in name only.
