Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson: Two Friends

Two former bodyguards of Michael Jackson recently wrote on their Facebook: "Maybe many people don’t know that Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs were friends. They would often talk with each other. Two weeks before the iPhone went on sale, Steve sent 12 of them to Michael." Michael gave his bodyguards Bill and BJ an Apple iPhone as a Christmas gift. He personally ordered that the iPhones be engraved. Steve Jobs (Steven Paul Jobs), founder and CEO of Apple and one of the leading figures in the computer industry, died on October 5 after battling cancer. mj-steve-jobs.jpg Professor Mona Simpson (Mona Simpson), Steve Jobs’ sister, who is an English language professor at the University of California, said at her brother’s memorial that Steve spent his life talking about love, and that love was the highest advantage, the god of gods for him. Michael Jackson also had a catchphrase in the final days of his life, which he kept using on the stage during rehearsals for the This Is It tour: "It’s All For Love! L.O.V.E" "It’s all because of love! L.O.V.E" has become a slogan among Michael Jackson fans. His son, Prince, said about his father: "The message he had was simple: love." Love, belief, hope, ambition, and genius—these were the shared traits of Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson. According to Mona, when Steve was dying, he looked at the members of his family with love, then stared into the distance, and before closing his eyes forever, he said three times—full of joy and amazement: "Wow! Wow! Wow!" (!OH WOW! OH WOW! OH WOW) Source: eMJey.com / Yahoo News / MJBodyguard
