- nirvana 15y agoI've read it extensively. The thing is, people act as if Jobs is the second coming and is, was and always will be the same person. He was young once, just like everyone else. Back in the Macintosh era, he often would come around to another person's way of thinking without realizing he'd coopted their idea. (Or maybe he realized it and was too insecure.) But honestly, which is the bigger reality distortion: Jobs saying that the iPhone is "revolutionary". Or Bill Gates saying that none of NeXTSTEP made it into OS X? Why is Jobs confusing his opinion for reality such a crime while flat out fabrication is given a free pass? It is far more common for people to criticize Jobs for "reality distortion" than it is for people to criticize Gate for telling lies (and Gates is almost pathalogical- for years he managed to kill companies by lying about what Microsoft was going to do.)
