The business of desktop publishing, which is now a global endeavor reaping untold sums of money each year, was the brainchild of Jobs alongside the laser printer and personal computer networks. Apple's boss purchased Pixar animation studios for pennies on the dollar, only to sell the firm -- which now known to be largely responsible for the development of computer-animated feature films -- for $7.4 billion earlier this year. "Since returning to Apple in 1997, he has changed the dynamics of consumer electronics with the iPod, and persuaded the music industry, the television networks, and Hollywood to distribute their wares with the iTunes Music Store," Fortune writes. "With his hugely successful Apple Stores, he gave the big-box boys a lesson in high-margin, high-touch retailing. And this year, at the height of his creative and promotional powers, Jobs orchestrated Apple's entry into the cellular telephone business with the iPhone." Jobs is responsible for morphing no less than five industries into huge successes: Computers, Hollywood, music, retail, and wireless phones. "At this moment, no one has more influence over a broader swath of business than Jobs."
