Apple to celebrate Steve’s Bday with new MacBook Pros

Apple – The world’s No.1 brand for computing and accessories, celebrates the birthday of  Steve Jobs, Apple’s co-founder and chief executive, turns 56 on February 24. And all signs from within the company suggest that it will use that day — a Thursday as opposed to the traditional Tuesday — to unveil the new notebooks, according to people familiar with the matter.

Last year, Apple noted that February 24 marked the 10 billionth song sale in iTunes, a key measure of success for a strategy closely linked to Jobs’ efforts to revolutionize the sale distribution of music over the last decade in conjunction with the iPod. However, the company did not call public attention to the birthday of its co-founder and chief executive.
