iPhone Bored at Work? Read the FBI File on Steve Jobs
Posted by Josh Gross on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 1:09 PM
Celebrated biographer Walter Isaacson recently struck publishing gold with his book Steve Jobs. But if you'd prefer to skip lauded, prosaic passages in favor of "the real story," delivered in dry report form, you're in luck.
The FBI file on Steve Jobs—compiled when he was under consideration for a job in the George H.W. Bush administration—has just hit the Web. Apparently, the same guy who reputedly ran his business almost like a cult, bullied employees into satisfying his perfectionism, and whose overseas factories are now under fire for harsh working conditions, also had questions raised about his character in the report.
Qua?
No, really, it's true. The report highlights Jobs' refusal to take responsibility for his child and his perceived dishonesty by associates. And here we thought he was just the man who brought back black turtlenecks.
This is sure to satisfy the world-class shit-talkers at Gawker, who just love harping on how much of a butthole Jobs was. Oh look ... there it is.

Steve Jobs changed the entire world with his visionary outset and revamping of wireless media and communications. I think it's a shame that we're nitpicking the details of his life just these few short months after his passing. He’ll be a name which rings out through history for evolving the way we live, share and communicate. I was compelled to create a portrait of him, now In Memoriam on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/08…

I'd like to read the reports on a lot of people in congress...Maybe being an independent free thinker in Washington is frowned upon, or how to be efficient...I wonder what they characterize as good traits and bad traits??
