 Cornell Engineering : Behind the Music
Rubinstein, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1978 and followed that with a master of engineering degree in electrical engineering from Cornell a year later (he also has a master’s in computer science from Colorado State University), has led Apple’s hardware engineering efforts since 1997.
Rubinstein’s familiarity with the supply chain is one reason why he was able to bring the iPod to market so quickly, said Mike McGuire, a research director for GartnerG2, a technology consulting firm.
There were plenty of other hurdles to overcome, Rubinstein says, such as figuring out how to squeeze a dozen hours of music out of the tiny battery (it involves storing the current song on a memory chip so the hard drive doesn’t spin incessantly, sucking juice.) There’s a perpetual quest to shrink the internal electronics.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Jon Rubinstein
In 1990, iconic Apple co-founder Steve Jobs approached Rubinstein to run hardware engineering at his latest venture, NeXT Inc. Rubinstein headed work on NeXT’s PowerPC workstation – a graphics powerhouse that was never released because the company abandoned the unforgiving margins of the hardware business in favor of a software-only approach.
Rubinstein assembled a team and then spurred his much-leaner engineering corps to have the product ready to roll in 11 months – a timeline they considered impossible.
Rubinstein helped diminish that misconception in a speech following the 2001 rollout of the G4 – and popularized a term, the “megahertz myth,” to describe how an Apple running at 733 megahertz could be faster than an Intel processor running at 1.7 gigahertz.
