"Since rejoining the Company in 1997, Mr. Jobs had not sold any of his shares of the Company’s stock. Mr. Jobs held no unvested equity awards. The Company recognized that Mr. Jobs’s level of stock ownership significantly aligned his interests with shareholders’ interests."
In a world where the likes of Steve Ballmer and many others routinely sell huge portions of their shares, Jobs kept all of his. $2,319,515,000 worth, as Dustin Curtis points out.
That’s dedication and loyalty. That’s putting your money where your mouth is.

The chills you get when you listen to music is called musical frisson.
This is caused by the release of a neurotransmitter called dopamine triggered by the music. The resulting chills alters the human body’s heart rate, breathing, temperature, and skin conductance. More pleasurable music increases the amount of dopamine released, contributing to more of the physical response.

This is a picture of the original IBM software factory from 1974 where each engineer wrote a single character before passing the code off to the guy on the right. At the end of the row the last engineer pressed “new line”.
