| quote = For what characterizes Apple is that its scientific staff always acted and performed like artists – in a field filled with dry personalities limited by the rational and binary worlds they inhabit, Apple's engineering teams had passion. They always believed that what they were doing was important and, most of all, fun. Working at Apple was never just a job; it was also a crusade, a mission, to bring better computer power to people. At its roots, that attitude came from Steve Jobs. It was "[[Power to the people (slogan)|Power to the People]]", the slogan of the sixties, rewritten in technology for the eighties and called [[Macintosh]].

When Jobs denied paternity, a [[DNA paternity testing|DNA test]] established him as Lisa's father.<ref name="machineofthe year1" /> It required him to pay Brennan {{USD|385|1983|about=yes|long=no|round=-2}} monthly in addition to returning the welfare money she had received.

Later, Brennan agreed to interview with [[Michael Moritz]] for ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine for its [[Time Person of the Year]] special, released on January 3, 1983, in which she discussed her relationship with Jobs.

In 1984, Jobs bought the [[Jackling House]] and estate and resided there for a decade. Thereafter, he leased it out for several years until 2000 when he stopped maintaining the house, allowing weathering to degrade it. In 2004, Jobs received permission from the town of Woodside to demolish the house to build a smaller, contemporary styled one. After a few years in court, the house was finally demolished in 2011, a few months before he died.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/02/14/BAUK1HN0JR.DTL |title=Steve Jobs' historic Woodside mansion is torn down |last=Lee |first=Henry K. |date=February 15, 2011 |work=The San Francisco Chronicle |access-date=February 7, 2022 |archive-date=December 25, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111225152428/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fc%2Fa%2F2011%2F02%2F14%2FBAUK1HN0JR.DTL |url-status=live }}</ref>

With the introduction of the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iTunes Store, the company made forays into consumer electronics and music distribution.
