Fortune interview with Steve Jobs
As part of their feature on Apple we noted earlier in the week, Fortune magazine also has an interview with Steve Jobs that's definitely worth a look. Though frankly a bit annoying to page through, it's chock full of Uncle Steve goodness. There's quite a bit of interesting background on some of Apple's biggest business decisions over the last few years. It's definitely worth a read if you're interested in how the CEO of the most-admired company in the country thinks.In addition, there's also a story by Fortune editor Peter Elkind on The trouble with Steve Jobs. It comes off a bit like sour grapes in places, but nonetheless is also worth the time.

Yep, he's still a brilliant asshole.

But even among all that binary behavior - if it means excellent products and re-defining markets, hell even creation of new ones - I'll take it
Congrats on being one of the last blogs to pick this up.

March 06 2008 at 11:48 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyPeter Elkind didn't get to interview Jobs for the mini-bio he wrote, mainly because the Jobster didn't like the way Elkind was going about trying to dig up dirt on him.
As a result, no interview for him.
Elkind doesn't resist taking as many subtle jabs at Jobs as he can in the piece, up to and including subtly insulting Jobs being adopted, and mentioning that his biological father is working as a mid-level at some Casino outside of Reno....seriously tasteless writing.
Ah. Not a fan of Elkind so I didn't read the article. Thanks.
