Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Konke kwaqala ngocingo. Ngenkathi uMiller ethola ucingo kuSteve Jobs uqobo lwakhe ngo-2009, wacabanga ukuthi kwakuwumdlalo nje omubi. Izingcingo eziphindaphindiwe kuphela zaqinisekisa uMiller ukuthi lokhu akulona ihlaya, futhi uJobs wanikezwa ithuba lokuchaza kahle ukuthi ufuna ukuthenga inkampani yakhe kuye. Njengokwejwayelekile kwaMisebenzi, wayengenazo izinhlelo zokulinda noma yini futhi waqinisekisa uMiller ukuthi ahlangane naye ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngaphambi komhlangano, ezinye zezisebenzi zakwa-Apple zazama ukulungiselela uMiller umhlangano ukuze enze umbono ongcono kakhulu weMisebenzi.
Izinkinga zokuqala zavela ngesikhathi sezingxoxo ngenani lokutholwa. Ngenkathi uMiller eqiniseka ukuthi kunesivumelwano esivumelanayo sokuthenga i-Quattro Wireless ngamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-325, Imisebenzi iphikelele ku-$275 million emhlanganweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuthiwa wasongela uMiller ngokuvimba inkundla ye-iOS ye-Quattro Wireless SDK uma uMiller engavumelani nentengo. Ngakho uMiller wayengenakho ukukhetha ngaphandle kokwamukela isivumelwano.
Lapho uMiller ekugcineni ejoyina i-Apple, ithimba lakhe ngelinye ilanga lanikwa umsebenzi wokuqhamuka nezibonelo zokukhangisa ezazizobonisa kahle amandla enkundla ye-iAd.

Imisebenzi yayizizonda izinhlobo ezishiwo ngenxa yekhwalithi yazo ephansi futhi ngenxa yokuthi zazingabonakalisi ubuhle bezinga eliphezulu obufana ne-Apple. Wabe esebiza uMiller ehhovisi lakhe, lapho, ngemva kwengxoxo eshubile, wamyala ukuba asuke ebusweni bakhe futhi aphathe yonke into emnyangweni wezokuxhumana wezokumaketha, ozokwazi ukudala izikhangiso ezingcono. UMiller waphuthuma wapakisha zonke izimpahla zakhe, engaboni ukuthi upakishe ngephutha ilaptop negundane likaJobs esikhwameni sakhe ephuthuma.
Ngesikhathi efika emnyangweni ofanele ukwakhiwa kwezikhangiso bese kushubile. Kulokhu bekuyimikhiqizo eyintandokazi ka-Jobs - i-Disney, i-Dyson ne-Target.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi kwakukhona uSteve Jobs, owabuza uMiller ngokungananazi ukuthi kungani entshontshe i-laptop yakhe.
Ngenhlanhla, uMiller akazange nje akwazi ukukholisa Imisebenzi ukuthi yayingekho inhloso, kodwa futhi wamqinisekisa ukuthi akazange akopishe noma yimaphi amafayela ayimfihlo kukhompyutha yakhe siqu. Nokho, wayeqiniseka ukuthi lesi kwakuyisiphetho sakhe sokugcina. Uvele wanikeza onogada ilaptop kaJobs kanye negundane lakhe, kodwa basheshe babona ukuthi igundane lisekubhakha wakhe - futhi uthi usenalo ekhaya.
