Steve Jobs (book)
''Steve Jobs'' is the authorized self-titled biography of American business magnate and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. The book was written at the request of Jobs by Walter Isaacson, a former executive at CNN and ''TIME'' who had previously written best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—in addition to interviews with more than one hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Isaacson was given "unprecedented" access to Jobs's life. Jobs is said to have encouraged the people interviewed to speak honestly. Although Jobs cooperated with the book, he asked for no control over its content other than the book's cover, and waived the right to read it before it was published. Describing his writing, Issacson commented that he had striven to take a balanced view of his subject that did not sugarcoat Jobs's flaws. The book was released on October 24, 2011, by S ...

The Lost Interview
''Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview'' is a documentary released to theaters in 2012. It consists of the original 70 minute interview that Steve Jobs gave to Robert X. Cringely in 1995 for the PBS documentary, ''Triumph of the Nerds''. Background The original interview that Jobs gave to Cringely for ''Triumph of the Nerds'' lasted about 70 minutes. Of those 70 minutes, only about 10 were used in ''Triumph of the Nerds.'' When Jobs gave this interview in 1995, he was still "two years away from retaking the Chief Executive role at Apple and beginning a run that would transform the Cupertino, Calif.-based Mac maker from loser to leader in the digital economy. At the time of the interview Jobs was one such loser himself: his company, NeXT was stumbling, and rival Bill Gates had taken Apple's ideas and used them to seize control of the personal computer industry." According to Cringely the original D1 video tape master was lost in shipping in 1995. When Steve Jobs died in 2011, ''Tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
