Maybe we already know all we ever need to know about Steve Jobs.

Huffington Post home page: "Steve Jobs' Advice To Bill Clinton In Lewinsky Scandal"

I mean, who gives a fuck?

If Jobs were still alive, would this be front page "news?"

I worked at Apple, during the Scully years, so that's as close as I ever got to Jobs.

On one side, I see a visionary, a game-changer, and on the other, a guy who perhaps was not the most skilled person on the planet when it came to interpersonal relationships.

Do we really need to know any more about him than that?

1. I always viewed him as a nerd. Nerds often are not socially intelligent. But so what?

I'm not sure it matters. He did come up with the Apple computer, which is pretty nifty.

2. Brilliant marketing guy who had a knack to devine and define the consumer mass market.

Probably drove the design engineers nutz, though. I wonder what the burnout rate was with Apple designers?

But he was a human, too...full of contradictions and capable of being an asshole on occasion. Not a whole lot different from most extraordinary visionaries, I would think.

4. That's what I'm saying...I know some people WILL want the minutiae detail, but...

...Steve Jobs' advice for Bill Clinton on Monica Lewinski? I'm trying to understand the market for that.

5. Remembering back, it seems like everyone had advice for Bill about Lewinski.

And I'll bet that advice was, "You should have taken that dress yourself to the cleaners."

6. Steve Jobs had advice for Bill on Monica?

I wonder who didn't? :-)

3. Nice guys finish last.

How many successful CEO's were nice guys? On the other hand there have been many successful leaders who were nice guys. Roosevelt and Eisenhower come to mind.

7. Un-recced for not sharing Job's advice to the Big Dog.

:wtf:
