  1. I find myself very interested in Jobs’ life, suddenly, now after life
    death. Sort of fascinates me. Lots of startling facts about him, his
    personality, family life, etc. here on 60 Minutes…

  2. Walter Isaacson’s book delves deep into Apple co-founder’s complex life
    JOBS’ Biography hits stands. Jobs was born out of wedlock,given up by his
    birth parents. Jobs said he was not”just abandoned. I was chosen. I was
    special.”
    He never wanted to meet his biological father since he ” learned a little
    about him and I didn’t like what I learned.”
    He was bullied in school,tried various quirky diets as a teenager.
    He spent seven months in India in the 1970s looking for spiritual
    enlightenment.
    After returning,he and Steve Wozniak founded Apple.
    Jobs,who died on October 5 at the age of 56,change the course of personal
    computing and revolutionized the mobile.

  3. Steve Jobs was already gravely ill with cancer when he asked author Walter
    Isaacson to write his biography. Jobs told Isaacson to write a honest book
    – about his failings and his strengths. Steve Kroft reports.

  4. Jobs Biography is out !. The CBS 60 Minutes episode about Steve Jobs is a
    must watch. To his BIOGRAPHER -“Explain to me how a hippie, some one who
    was a College dropout, who steals Marijuana goes off to INdIa and comes
    BACK with a VISION deciding he wants to be a business man by starting
    ‘APPLE’ with Wozniak …….” ?.

  5. A great critique from the real #Apple characters portrayed in the movie
    #Jobs. +Steve Wozniak, +Daniel Kottke and +Andy Hertzfeld. Worth watching!

  6. I just watched the JOBS movie and after about a half hour of this video I
    can understand why Kutcher may have chosen not to consult with Wozniak. The
    movie is about Steve Jobs and it sounds like Wozniak’s opinion is that the
    movie should have been about him. That combined with just the way he tries
    to dominate the conversation, at least in this video, would make me not
    want to consult with him too.

    Wozniak apparently started the homebrew scene and made Jobs attend, was
    doing all the work at Atari, and is offended at the movie because he
    actually introduced Jobs to Dylan and music. Listening to Wozniak I am led
    to the conclusion that Jobs was just a glorified PR guy and salesman, while
    Wozniak was doing all the work and innovating. A telling line in Wozniak’s
    flaw is when he said he had to check with HP before he went through with an
    order to make sure he didn’t lose his job. If you believe in what your
    doing and see all the potential, you take risks. The fact that he had to
    check with HP to ensure his job security seems indicative of Wozniak being
    risk averse, which is not a great quality if you want to reinvent an
    industry.

    After 50 minutes I am choosing to stop this video since its becoming less a
    group of behind the scenes characters talking and more the Steve Wozniak
    show.

  7. This is genius…amazing first hand account and correction of popular
    history….FROM THE PEOPLE WHO MADE HISTORY.

  8. A great critique from the real #Apple characters portrayed in the movie
    #Jobs. +Steve Wozniak, +Daniel Kottke and +Andy Hertzfeld. Worth watching!

  9. Great video. I love to hear these guys set the record straight on what was
    right and wrong in the Jobs movie.

  10. This was a surreal thing to watch! It’s amazing to sit and listen to these
    pioneers just chat about the amazing story behind Apple and Steve Jobs.

  11. Thanks for the upload, great video! It’s interesting to hear the
    differences between the movie and what really happened from the guys who
    were actually there when the story happened.

  12. Fantastic look back at some historic moments in Apple history. The
    producers of Jobs should include this this video on their blu-ray release.

  13. Well first, it wasnt just next that was considered, beOS and even windows
    was considered at on point. When you buy a company, you buy both the
    product and the ppl, but mainly the people…

  14. Dammit! The song is catchy and stuck in my head now… Love the look of Woz
    when John’s doing his little chair-dance.
