For those who can’t wait until 2012 for Steve Jobs’ authorized biography, another will be here this August–with illustrations to boot.
Publisher Bluewater Productions announced this morning that “Steve Jobs: The co-founder of Apple” will hit store shelves in two months. The comic book biography promises to give readers “unique insight” into Apple CEO’s “legendary drive to the top and his continuing fight to stay there.”
Har!
#20: Polishing Jobs’ knob is the job of what passes for the “press” at Macworld. The rest of us are more than happy to remind the lumpen that Jobs would have wound up a two-bit grifter had it not been for the likes of Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula and Michael Scott. And he didn’t “invent” the technology behind the Macintosh any more than Gates invented DOS. He sniped that tech from Xerox.
#21 Well put. People should be talking a lot more about the Woz than this prick Jobs. And to think that people despise (with good reason) Mark Zuckerberg but love Jobs.
#20 I don’t think steve needs any defending. He changed the world is rolling in money and lived his life just the way he wants too, no one tells him what to do. He will definitely be in the history books (databases).
Love him, hate him or don’t care either way he has made a difference in the way people live. Life is to short to get caught up in all this stupid hate. If you don’t like a phone or a computer don’t buy it, no reason to go on a lifelong hate rampage.
#23 So does Dumbya. Should we celebrate him as well? macfans are really pathetic
Je-sus F-ing Christ!
Enough already!
Please. Please…. Can’t somebody just make him go away?
Like it or not, Jobs is successful, and people like to read about successful people. On the extreme opposite, I don’t hear anyone clamoring for Peedro’s biography.
I haven’t seen such hatred (jealousy, resentment, sanctimony) directed toward a successful capitalist since I was in college and had to listen to left-wing “radical” rich kids yammering endlessly about The Man.
He played. He won. That’s how it works America. Get over it.
notatall,
Sheesh, I’m not just talking about the late 70s. I give Wozniak he creds for helping create the revolutionary Apple II. That’s a really big deal that required tech brilliance.
But he clearly didn’t have the big-picture vision that Jobs did. That’s where Job’s brilliance lies — in seeing where computers and tech can connect with society.
Honestly, who can beat Steve Jobs in that department?
Apparently you guys think he is loathsome as a person. I wouldn’t know about that. But you bias is blinding you to the fact that Steve Jobs is one of the great figures of modern American history.

The anti-macfans strike me as odd, too.
It reminds me of my blue collar high school were the kids divided themselves up into “Ford” or “Chevy” gangs. Fist fights would even break out!
As for me, I just wish there were more options in computers. It’s better now, with the portable OSs, I’ll admit, but I have yet to jump into the world.
#26 The Turde is a macfan. Go figure.
#27 That’s because you didn’t hear Jobs scream the same shit when he lived in a commune.
#28 The brilliance of jobs is seeing the morons that want to get rid of their money. Everyday there are hundreds of them,
