	Inventor Steve Jobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Steve Jobs, was an unlikely candidate to have become the prototype of America's computer industry entrepreneur.
		Steve Jobs was Chairman and CEO of Pixar, the Academy-Award-winning computer animation studios which he co-founded in 1986.
		Jobs co-founded and was chairman of Apple Computer, Inc. He guided Apple as it grew to a $2 billion company, during which time he co-designed the Apple II and led the development, manufacturing and marketing of the Macintosh and LaserWriter printer.

	CNN.com - Technology - Book review: The Second Coming of Steve Jobs - September 1, 2000
		Jobs himself was apparently not willing to take up this or any other question with Deutschman, who instead has based his book on "scores" of interviews with people around Jobs.
		Jobs rises from the working-class milieu of the family that adopted him, drops out of college and at a fantastically young age co-founds Apple.
		The idea that the public Jobs was at least as much a reflection of his times as a shaper of them is a compelling one -- although it does not satisfactorily explain his rise from the ashes of NeXT and his return to the cover of business magazines.

	CNN.com - Technology - Book review: 'The Second Coming of Steve Jobs' - October 30, 2000
		Steve is "a pop-culture icon, a media hero, a role model, a sex symbol, and teen heartthrob" - quite different to most nerdy computer types, and hence the intense interest in the man turned icon.
		Steve's eventual return to Apple - by selling the NeXTStep operating system to his old company as the eventual foundation of Mac OS X - was a turning point that followed swiftly on the tail of Pixar's amazing success stories.
		It is well known that Jobs has a legendary temper ("his penchant for turning on his colleagues with a wicked tongue"), and also that he is the most charismatic man in the whole computer industry ("He is seductive to the nth degree," says a former employee).

	The Second Coming of Steve Jobs
		I was never a big Steve Jobs fan, crediting many of the problems the company faces with decisions that he made in the early days of the Mac.
		In the late nineties, when Jobs came back to Apple via a none-too-subtle board-room coup d'etat, a lot of the old Steve Jobs horror stories were once again circulating the halls of Apple and I wasn't the only one feeling apprehensive.
		Jobs gave all of the vendor's employees who staffed the cafe the opportunity to remain on the job as full Apple employees, and even granted stock options to those who chose to remain.

	CRN \| Despite Recent Stock Slip, Jobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Steve Jobs told colleagues at Apple that he consciously copied the example of Nike, which ran ads that projected a sense of athleticism and success,i.e., an an attitude,without ever showing its shoes.
		Jobs would withdraw from public view and maintain an aura of secrecy about Apple products, which would create a sense of anticipation and ultimately a media sensation when he finally emerged and revealed his offerings in charismatic speeches to assemblies of thousands of rabid fans.
		The second lesson to glean from Jobs' resurgence is this: Because it takes such a long and maddeningly unpredictable amount of time to translate technical ideas from the lab to the marketplace, an innovative leader needs extraordinary tenacity and a willingness to suffer through long periods of embarrassment and financial loss.

		The Second Coming of Steve Jobs by Alan Deutschman (Broadway, $26)
		Deutschman dutifully notes that Jobs was "the first businessman as rock star," adding that Jobs would have been Time's Man of the Year if not for his messy personal life, including a daughter born out of wedlock whom he was reluctant to support.
		And he recounts Jobs' reunion with his biological sister, writer Mona Simpson, as well as the subsequent apparent rupture when her novel A Regular Guy seemed to be patterned on Jobs' life.

		The son of a college student and a political science professor, he was adopted by a family led by a machinist at a laser manufacturer.
		Jobs is a fiendishly good negotiator, a skill honed in the 1970s, when he charmed every supplier in Silicon Valley into providing parts for the first Apple computers.

	Wired News: Jobs for President? Not This Time
		A grassroots campaign to persuade Apple's CEO Steve Jobs to run for President of the United States was launched on the Web last week, but it was over almost as soon as it began.
		Jobs' personal assistant told him Jobs had seen the site, but was too committed to his family to run a grueling political campaign.
		Jobs and his wife, Laurene, have contributed at least $250,000 to the Democrats since 1996, according to records available through the Center of Responsive Politics, a non-partisan watchdog organization based in Washington D.C. The couple haven't made any donations whatsoever to the Republicans, according to the center.

	The Guardian profile: Steve Jobs \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Jobs is a co-founder of Apple, the man behind the astonishing success of the computer animation firm Pixar - of Toy Story and Finding Nemo fame - a billionaire regarded as a visionary in the industry.
		Four years later Jobs returned with another computer company, NextStep, which never achieved the success of Apple but reminded people that he was far from a finished force who would be content to live out his life on the millions he had accumulated during his career.
		What was later hailed as Jobs' second coming started with his involvement in Pixar, the animation company he bought from the Star Wars director, George Lucas, and renamed.

	creativepro.com - In Jobs' 'Second Coming', it's All In Who You Believe
		As "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs" hits book stores this week, Jobs-watchers will have their chance to show interest or disgust in what has been touted over the last three months as the 'inside story' of how Steve Jobs has supposedly cajoled and controlled the highways and byways of Silicon Valley.
		Jobs was described by many as someone trying desperately to fit in among a crowd that he inherited.
		Whatever the case may be, Steve Jobs' secrecy and lack of availability for this book makes it more interesting, leaving the door wide open for the question that if Jobs didn't want stories like these printed, why didn't he balance it out by giving his side of the story.

	Has Anyone Read the Steve Jobs Book? \| Bayosphere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is just a cheap marketing ploy by Jobs to get more people to read his biography at the expense of the other books by the same publisher who won't benefit from the publicity but will be hurt by the Apple store dropping them.
		Steve Jobs' reliance upon his charisma is both his greatest boon and his wickedest curse.
		This 300 page biographical portrait of Apple Computer CEO and founder, Steve Jobs, is a fast paced, behind the scenes look at one of the nation's most creative and intelligent, yet blatantly insensitive corporate executives.

		After he co-founded Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) in 1976, Steve Jobs's career was a roller-coaster ride, marked by soaring highs and hopeless lows, with almost nothing in between.
		But Alan Deutschman's controversial new book, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, is a reminder that Jobs may be too complex a character to stay on a level plane for long.

		Jobs didn't come back with the original iMac, but I believe one of the first things he did was jump start the iMac program.
		Jobs is one of the few leaders of the industry that sees the value in hardware working seemlessly with software (true plug and play simplicity of FireWire devices) and software working seemlessly with hardware (iMovie controlling any number of DV video cameras).
		Jobs being kicked out of Apple led to a personal transformation, and his experience at NeXT was critical in turning him into a mature manager (something he was NOT when he was Apple pre-1984).

		Jobs subsequently latched onto and took over a wayward project at Apple to develop the next generation machine, and the resulting Macintosh became the computer of choice for artists and other creative folks.
		Jobs' prickly personality and immense ambition may have helped drive his success but also fueled clashes with executives, board members and others, and led to his forced departure from the company he co-founded.
		The biography includes many personal details that surely embarrass Jobs, such as his early abandonment of a daughter born to an unmarried girlfriend (both of whom he later reconciled with and supported), along with endless examples of pride, egotism, venality, ruthlessness and conceit.

		When Steve Jobs became the acting CEO of Apple Computers, it was hemorrhaging more than a billion dollars a year.
		I then read "Apple Confidential", an account of the history of Apple Computer, Inc. The Second Coming of Steve Jobs does as much as any book could do to help one understand a very complex and contradictory man. He is an innovator and a genius, but he is also infantile and selfish.
		Overall, this is a fascinating account on the life of Mr Jobs between leaving Apple in 1985 and his victorious, and controvertial return, in 1996.

		The rumor mill says that Steve Jobs is not in the least bit happy with this book and has supposedly gone to some lengths to keep it from being published.
		Jobs is someone who is an incredible elitist yet yearns for the patronage of the masses, for millions of people to buy his product--even though his own personal tastes are incredibly austere and minimalistic, and he is removed from the popular culture.
		Apple has never before been in the minds of as many people as it is now, and this is due almost entirely to Steve Jobs (and the team he put in place, but the average Joe does not understand that little point).

		Now, in The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, Alan Deutschman presents the most revealing portrait yet of this fascinating, complex character--an in-depth look at the many layers of Steve Jobs, a man who is at turns a brilliant cult figure and an abusive, egomaniacal kid.
		In an unsentimental and powerful voice, Deutschman reveals a man who suffered his midlife crisis at thirty, compressing it into just three months; struggled between self-imposed exile and the allure of public life; and became the baby boomer icon who was constantly blurring the lines between businessman, rock star, and beatnik.
		The Second Coming of Steve Jobs is a compelling look at an individual who has changed the face of technology and entertainment for the twenty-first century.
