1. On page 331 of the printed version (in chapter 25), Isaacson quotes Steve Jobs saying, of Yoko Ono, “I can see why John fell in love with her.” Again, this is may be a very minor detail, but Isaacson quickly moves on in the story. I think this is a blatant example of his incuriosity. When have you ever heard someone take Yoko’s side in the “Yoko broke up the Beatles” argument? The fact that Jobs, as die-hard a Beatles fan as there ever was, could say such a thing is intriguing, to say the least. This, I think, could have been a whole chapter. Steve Jobs was, apparently, the kind of person that, unlike the rest of the Beatles, could see what John saw in Yoko. A little exploration of what that says about Jobs’s and Lennon’s common traits would have been fascinating.

  9. ➶ From the Archives: Steve Jobs' Interview at D8

    I spent some of this evening going through and tidying my iTunes library when this podcast popped up. Whilst I don’t typically keep Apple keynotes around, this one remains on my laptop. Jobs is a fascinating person to hear speak about Apple, and this video is no exception.

    Some great insight - and interesting questions from the audience too.
