The article(s) reads quite spiteful, petty and angry - I’m not surprised learning that it comes from a guy who hates Steve. One example that reads odd is how the author claims that Steve’s financial backing didn’t save Pixar (when clearly it seems they’d have gone bankrupt if he hadn’t kept poring money into it). And in one article he mentions that Steve’s deal with Disney for Toy Story was a stroke of business genius and in another he says “What saved Pixar was Disney's asking it to make a movie” as if Steve has nothing to do with the important/successful details of that arrangement.
- chris_wot 8y agoIt doesn’t sound terribly spiteful. He praises Jobs as a great businessman!
- velcrovan 8y agoI'm not seeing the spite. The author several times credits Jobs for his actual contributions (such as the IPO), calling them/him "brilliant". It reads as a fairly factual and neutral setting-straight of some common misconceptions, while still giving Jobs plenty of credit for his actual contributions.
