They lived off of welfare

Is Steve Jobs daughter really his?

What was his relationship with (ex?) wife and daughter?

Did they disappoint him by doing something grimy?


Yes it was his daughter he just didn't want to take responsibility for her for a very long time, nothing horrible happened between the mom and jobs, just jobs didn't want a kid so he ignored her for years. Like I said, he was prick lol

The movie is made to make a profit. It's by no means a documentary, so expect all sorts of lies. It makes sense though. I expect its main audience to be i-sheep, who think that Jobs was a god, with only a few flaws just like the rest of us.

I bet they won't show what kind of an asshole he was to MS and Bill Gates.

I always thought it was the other way around.

And judging by the clip they showed and the trailer, i highly doubt they will. They will make it seem like Wozniak didnt know what the hell he was doing, and steve was an all knowing social king, when that wasnt the case at all. Wozniak and apples team did all the work, jobs just did the excellent marketing. But thats just my opinion anyway.

I reject your hypothesis that excellent marketing somehow doesn't count as work.  True excellence in any field of human endeavour demands hard work, and in Apple's case it was as vital to their success as any random engineer on the team.  There is no better way to demoralize your engineering talent than to squander their hard work on a project that ultimately no one cares about (see Xbox One DRM).  A product marketer's job is to get the important details right in the first place, and this is hardly the only thing Steve Jobs did for the company.  Don't assume that because Jobs was a genius that such ideas poured effortlessly out of his head while sipping lattes.



I was really surprised when "Social Network" exposed Zuckerberg for the asshole he is, but I really doubt this movie will do the same with Jobs.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

If the mother wanted a kid so badly, and wanted the ecnonomics to work, she should have made sure that the father wanted one too.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Nope. Unfortunatelu it's not. His clever speeches made it sound as if MS was the devil, when he would have achieved nothing without them.



Steve Jobs accomplished nothing in his entire life.

Any other argument is pure sophistry. I would have loved to chat with this guy in order to expose him to himself for the childish tyrant he was.

I'm glad he's dead and I can only hope Apple falls by the wayside as well.

Isn't that affirmation a liitle bit on the hyberbole type of figure of speech?

I'm pretty sure your sentence is relative, regarding he was successful financially and was recognized for his role at Apple.
