Not to rain on Walter Isaacson's parade as he sells more copies of this then all biographies combined over the last 10+ years* but when asking Steve about how he didn't care about money that might have been a great time for a professional journalist (head of CNN, Time) to follow up and ask why he cheated Woz out of a few hundred dollars on Breakout (or Kottke, I'm sure there are others).<p>I haven't read the book yet so he maybe he does and there are some obvious answers (like "that was a mistake and part of why I later rejected my wealth") but that question really should have been asked.<p>* Mao and Jesus not included. Go crazy with that, Apple haters.
It's great that CBS put this online for everyone to view, but I really wish they added captions/subtitles to the video clips. If it's hard to do, why not just add a text transcript so that deaf people like me can understand what's being said?
That episode of 60 Minutes was fantastic, and the audio from Walter's interviews with Jobs was surprising. The best part of the program was the fact that Steve Jobs actually met his biological father years before knowing who his biological father truly was.
Could that video player have been any worse? To click the fullscreen button, you literally have to click on the darkened pixels of the icon. It's not a rectangular click area.
I am 16% into my Kindle copy of the biography and so far the only thing that has bugged me is how cold Steve was with Daniel Kottke. He just flat out refused giving him any stock and seemed to discourage others too when they tried giving part of their own stock.<p>I could understand why he might not have given Wozniak the bonus - at least he gave half of the rest and may be he needed money badly. But the Kottke thing is just unexplainable. Wozniak finally ended up giving some of his options to many other neglected ones including Kottke.<p>The book is definitely worth a read just in case anyone was still on the fence.
What I get from this interview is that Steve Jobs was a self centered control freak. That eventually died because of it. Not sure why anyone worships this man.
