Typical leftist. Jobs didn’t care about others at all.

Steve Jobs hit piece from the mother of his illegitimate daughter in the UK Daily Mail, probably part of the hype around the Steve Jobs biopic. Not much new here. She's saying what she's said before and for years. — PING!

He denied he was the father, despite a positive paternity test.

There was no such thing as a "positive paternity test" back when he took the first one, only a negative one.

IIRC when the DNA came out it was confirmed that he was the father and he ceased saying that he was not.

I’ve worked for some managers that could be described as cold, ruthless and obsessive. So long as they aren’t dishonest or manipulative it’s manageable but not too pleasant.

Easy way to figure someone out: watch how they treat service people like waiters & waitresses.

A book by Steve Wozniak gave some examples of Jobs being a jerk. It also seemed like Wozniak was toning it down as he tends to be polite.

Wozniak himself came across as if he may still be having some effects from his plane crash. Wozniak certainly created the Apple II himself, which made Apple successful. But ultimately Jobs seems to have had more drive and vision.

It isn’t fair to disparage a person Like Steve Jobs that drove an industry when so much that people don’t like of that industry are the fault of the countless thousands that also participated in the decision making.

Steve did good. Not my kind of personal friend, but he should be remembered as one of the key figures in making the personal computer a useful product.

Steve Jobs was an unmitigated asshole. But he was also a brilliant visionary. Nobody’s perfect.

She lived with Jobs and was an early Apple employee, only for the relationship to fall apart amid wild recriminations when she became pregnant with his first child.


the consequences of immorality. You shack up, reject tradition and are shocked that the baby daddy isn’t a nice guy! No sympathy except for the child.

Btw, I’ve read that most businessleaders and politicians are narcissists. Kind of have to be to make decisions to build empires.

But yet, every criticism aimed at Steve Jobs could have been said for every major business titan in the USA since the first one emerged, Cornelius Vanderbuilt. Such business titans had to be equally ruthless towards competitors and sometimes close friends to get way ahead economically; look at how the likes of John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Thomas C. Watson, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg had to be ruthless at times to make their financial success.
