Washington, Oct 24 : Late Apple Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs' hope that there might be an afterlife led him to avoid putting simple "on/off" switches on the company's devices, his biographer Walter Isaacson has disclosed.
Jobs said that despite being only "50/50" about the existence of God, he found himself "believing a bit more" in life after death after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
"I want to believe in an afterlife. That when you die, it doesn't just all disappear. The wisdom you've accumulated. Somehow it lives on," Jobs had told Walter Isaacson.
