Jobs changed the licensing program for Macintosh clones, making it too costly for the manufacturers to continue making machines With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products, most notably NeXTSTEP, which evolved into Mac OS X Under Jobs's guidance, the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products Jobs was both admired and criticized for his consummate skill at persuasion and salesmanship, which has been dubbed the "reality distortion field" and was particularly evident during his keynote speeches (colloquially known as "Stevenotes") at Macworld Expos and at Apple Worldwide Developers Conferences Jobs was a board member at Gap Inc from 1999 to 2002 In 2001, Jobs was granted stock options in the amount of 7.5 million shares of Apple with an exercise price of $18.30 It was alleged that the options had been backdated, and that the exercise price should have been $21.10 It was further alleged that Jobs had thereby incurred taxable income of $20,000,000 that he did not report, and that Apple overstated its earnings by that same amount As a result, Jobs potentially faced a number of criminal charges and civil penalties The case was the subject of active criminal and civil government investigations, though an independent internal Apple investigation completed on December 29, 2006 found that Jobs was unaware of these issues and that the options granted to him were returned without being exercised in 2003 In 2005, Jobs responded to criticism of Apple's poor recycling programs for e-waste in the US by lashing out at environmental and other advocates at Apple's annual meeting in Cupertino in April A few weeks later, Apple announced it would take back iPods for free at its retail stores The Computer TakeBack Campaign responded by flying a banner from a plane over the Stanford University graduation at which Jobs was the commencement speaker The banner read "Steve, don't be a mini-player recycle all e-waste." In 2006, he further expanded Apple's recycling programs to any US customer who buys a new Mac This program includes shipping and "environmentally friendly disposal" of their old systems The success of Apple's unique products and services provided several years of stable financial returns, propelling Apple to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company in 2011 Jobs founded NeXT Inc in 1985 after his resignation from Apple with $7 million A year later he was running out of money, and with no product on the horizon, he sought venture capital Eventually, Jobs attracted the attention

Apple does not solve the immediate problems but also get into more difficult situations At that time, the proposals and plans to restore the company's John Sculley was great approval from Apple board, and Steve Paul Jobs in 1985 had parted company with pity but which he founded "When parting Apple, I feel like I have lost a body part so I just have the feeling that someone hit hard from behind, then was released into the sky When I was only 30 years old, still a lot of work to but suffered a painful defeat like, mental decline is inevitable, "Steve said about the time when he had just left
