Steve Jobs Authorized Biography Coming in 2012

I think there should be a Movie about his life...

That kid who played Eduardo Saverin in "The Social Network" should play Steve Jobs in his early days

Or Ashton Kutcher

What a ridiculous title.

Congratulations, you just been played as free promotion. Steve Jobs has been doing this his entire career. BTW, iWoz was the first in the "i" biography titled stories.

However, my favorite is "The Macintosh Way" buy Guy Kawasaki. I have turned down jobs from people who trashed that book.

You do realize that Jobs is not an engineer. Nor has he ever programmed anything.

I have read all the patents where he's the first name listed. There's only about a half dozen, mostly ideas related to iPods and icons. And that gooseneck monitor arm. Oh, and he came up with the slide-to-power-off thingie you see if you hold down the iPhone power button.

My favorite: while the iPhone was being worked on by his employees, he applied for a patent for a telephone dial UI driven by a clickwheel. It was almost as cool as the Onion's "MacBook Wheel" parody:

Jealous much? Of course you do realize that the order of inventors on a patent means absolutely nothing. This is not academia. And since when do all computer inventions have to come from "engineers" and "programmers"?
 
Biography?

We need Mr. Jobs to give us something like the Ten Commandments!

We need him to tell us how to live when he is gone.

I really hope that data center was built to upload his consciousness.

Screw MobileMe, I want MobileSteve!

Second Coming of Steve Jobs
Icon Steve Jobs
Return to the little Kingdom
Revolution in The Valley
iWoz

so I know my stuff on Apple :), will be interesting to read a proper authorised one though
 
Really?

"iSteve - The Book of Jobs" - Jobs really wants Bio to carry such a silly stereotypical title? No way! I bet it's just a working title.
 
When did he change from looking 'normal' with 'normal' clothes...to looking like a cross between a religious cult leader and a james bond baddie?
