Michael Moritz interviewed Steve, Crissann, and a number of others for the 1982 Time Person of the Year special issue (released on January 3, 1983). In his interview, Steve questioned the reliability of the paternity test (which stated that the "probability of paternity for Jobs, Steven... is 94.1%").[7] Steve responded by arguing that "28% of the male population of the United States could be the father."[7][2][3] Rather than name Steve "Person of the Year" (as he and many others expected while giving the interviews), the issue was instead titled: "Machine of the Year: The Computer Moves In."[8] The thematic change occurred after Moritz heard both comments about both Steve's management style and about Brennan-Jobs.[2][3]

Steve admits this made him cry lol

he basically stole most his early poo poo from Wozniak (who is a chiller and essentially went 'meh whatever'). I know Jobs hosed him out of a bunch of money early on though and took credit for tons of his work. He straight lied about how much he was getting paid and gave Woz a paltry sum for doing all the work.

quote:

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has admitted he cried when he discovered that the late Steve Jobs had tricked him into designing a game for which Jobs received a majority of the profit.

Speaking to the BBC in the programme Steve Jobs: Billion Dollar Hippy, which aired on Wednesday evening, Wozniak explained that when Jobs had been approached by Atari to create a new "break-out" game, he got Wozniak to do the work, but only paid him less than half of what he received from the company for the job.

dunno what was going on in the board room of Apple but he must have been doing something good. When he left to go form Pixar Apple started nosediving until they brought him back and now that he's dead they are again floundering because they don't know wtf to make anymore other than stupid watches and minor updates to their phones.

i also remember bluetooth earpieces

The Apple Watch was fun for a couple weeks because it made all the douchiest people you know try really hard to care about watches and pretend they were impressive

I saw someone wearing a Bluetooth at the grocery store yesterday, I thought maybe I had accidentally stepped back into 2004

Steve Jobs was a pile of poo poo who had a good eye for design and was really good at marketing to people in their 20's.

I think that about covers it.

Innovators and creative geniuses often have an excess of emotional energy, which both drives them productively but can also cause them great pain. Luckily true mavericks understand that inspiration can sometimes only be accessed through vulnerability.
