That episode of 60 Minutes was fantastic, and the audio from Walter's interviews with Jobs was surprising. The best part of 60 minutes was the fact that Steve Jobs actually met his biological father before knowing who his biological father really was.

Wow he was more of a psychotic ********er than I has ever imagined.

What the hell does this even mean?

So he could be a dick when he wanted to in order to get his way? Welcome to human nature.

Wow he was more of a psychotic ********er than I has ever imagined.

Let's see. He was loving husband and a father to children who loved him.

Being able to have a stable marriage and raise children who love their father requires a certain amount of emotional and psychological stability and maturity.

I'm not going to bother stooping to your level by hurling insults at you. I'll just let your own words speak for themselves.
:rolleyes:

In a world where so many men abandon their children for all of their childhood, I'm happy to see that Steve Jobs owned up to his mistake and reached out to his child from his previous relationship and went on to have a successful family with his second wife.

I think the whole thing about not wanting to put on/off switches on Apple products is really interesting.
