Bill Clinton si Steve Jobs s-au cunoscut in timpul mandatului fostului presedinte american si se pare ca s-au inteles foarte bine deoarece Clinton a ajuns chiar sa ii ceara lui Jobs sfaturi in scandalul ce o implica pe Monica Lewinsky. In mijlocul acelui celebru scandal Clinton l-a sunat pe Steve Jobs in mijlocul noptii intrebandu-l cum sa rezolve situatia si fostul CEO al Apple l-a sfatuit pe presedintele american sa spuna adevarul in fata natiunii americane. Steve Jobs i-a oferit lui Clinton si posibilitatea de a folosi una dintre casele sale de vacanta in timp ce fiica acestuia studia la universitatea Stanford din California.
The no-holds barred biography of Steve Jobs has revealed that former president Bill Clinton consulted the Apple boss on what to do about his affair with Monica Lewinsky during a late night tete-a-tete. Jobs reportedly replied: ‘I don’t know if you did it, but if so, you’ve got to tell the country.’
According to his biographer Walter Isaacson, after Jobs delivered his advice: ‘There was silence on the other end of the line.’ Shortly after Jobs’ death, Clinton spoke about his friendship with the Apple co-founder during an interview with Time’s Managing Editor Richard Stengel.
Clinton said: ‘When my daughter was at Stanford he got in touch with me, and said, ”It’s hard to travel to see your child when you’re President. I’ve got a place out in the country. ”You and Hillary can stay there and bring Chelsea and her friends there anytime you want to.”’ ‘He gave me a priceless gift: the opportunity to see my child while I was still a very public figure, so I’m highly biased in his favor. Plus, even I can work an iPad.’
Steve Jobs nu a avut o relatie chiar atat de stransa si cu actualul presedinte al SUA caruia i-a spus ca va avea un mandat de doar un termen din cauza faptului ca in SUA nu se mai construiesc fabrici de catre marile corporatii. Jobs a fost un om carismatic, care a reusit sa ii apropie pe oamenii importanti din intreaga lume iar in biografia autorizata scrisa de Walter Isaacson vorbeste despre relatiile sale cu foarte multe dintre aceste personalitati. Maine va fi oficial lansata biografia autorizata a lui Steve Jobs si o puteti achizitiona fie de pe Amazon.com fie din iBookStore.
