Steve Jobs was the kind of man who had the courage to say everything he thinks regardless of who he hurts with his words and in the authorized biography by Walter Isaacson We find many "acidic" remarks to the people around him, but also to great personalities from around the world. After the statements regarding intentions to destroy the Android OSFor those from Google, I have others for you in which Steve Jobs speaks in rather harsh terms about Bill Gates, whom he claims did not invent anything in his life, but only stole other people's ideas and got rich.
He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger. Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology. He just shamelessly ripped off other people's ideas.
And Gates about Jobs:
He really never knew much about technology, but he had an amazing instinct for what works.
However, Bill Gates is not the only character attacked by Steve Jobs in his biography because the former CEO of Apple has some harsh words for his biological father as well. It seems that Jobs visited the restaurant owned by his father several times, but in those moments he did not know who the person in front of him was, but he said that he did not trust her. In the end he found out that in that restaurant he met his father for the first time, but until the day of his death he did not tell him that that meeting was between father and son.
I had been to that restaurant [That his biological father had owned] a few times, and I remember meeting the owner. He was Syrian. Balding. We shook hands." Later Steve said, "I was a wealthy man by then, and I didn't trust him not to try to blackmail me or go to the press about it.
When I was looking for my biological mother, obviously, you know, I was looking for my biological father at the same time, and I learned a little bit about him and I didn't like what I learned. I asked her not to tell him that we ever met... not to tell him anything about me.
