Jobs's intensity was also evident in his ability to focus. He would set priorities, aim his laser attention on them, and filter out distractions. If something engaged him- the user interface for the original Macintosh, the design of the iPod and iPhone, getting music companies into the iTunes Store-he was relentless.

He made devices simpler by eliminating buttons, software simpler by eliminating features, and interfaces simpler by eliminating options.
