????職務：蘋果公司已故CEO

????職業起點：銷售非法電話黑客設備

????上世紀70年代的電話系統和現在有很大差別，當時使用的是單音系統控制遠程撥號。喬布斯和他的朋友，即蘋果公司另一位創始人史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克合作，做起了他們的第一單生意：非法銷售一種叫“藍盒子”的設備，它能入侵電話系統并撥打免費電話。喬布斯在1994年的一次視頻采訪中回憶道：“如果不是‘藍盒子’，也就不會有蘋果，絕對是這樣。我和沃茲尼亞克學會了怎樣合作，并且獲得了解決各種技術問題的自信，并開始自己生產一些東西。”

????Unusual Start: Selling illegal telephone hacking equipment

????In the 1970s, telephone systems were far different than today. They used tone signals to control long-distance dialing. Jobs and his friend and Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, had their first business: illegally selling so-called blue boxes that would allow people to break into the telephone system and make free calls. "If it hadn't been for the blue boxes, there would have been no Apple," he said in a 1994 video interview. "I'm 100 percent sure of that. Woz and I learned how to work together, and we gained the confidence that we could solve technical problems and actually put something into production."
