Steve Jobs: things I knew, things I didn’t know

It’s always fun to learn more about our god Apple’s CEO. If that’s precisely what you wish to do, you can head over to “10 Things You Never Knew About…” and read the 10 pieces of information you (supposedly) never knew about Steve Jobs.

Personally, being the Apple freak that I am, I knew about quite a number of those never-known things. However, there were a few interesting bits and pieces about Jobs’s “real” sister, his college days with Woz, and the fact he held on to one single share of Apple Computer when he was fired from the company in ‘85. This part is also new to my knowledge:

Steve Jobs credits his father and an early neighbor for inspiring his passion for building things and working with electronics. When Jobs was around six years old, his mechanic father cleared one end of his workbench for the young Steve to tinker on his own projects. Shortly after, a Hewlett Packard employee named Larry Lang moved in down the street and got to know the neighbor kids by teaching them about electronics. Jobs was mesmerized and his fascination continued through high school until he got a summer job at HP with friend Steve Wozniak.

Finally, I just have to mention that item #8 on the list tells us Steve is pescetarian (fish is OK, meat is not). So forget vegetarian lasagna, Steve shops for pescetarian lasagna.

Interesting. I always thought Jobs was a vegan. But a quick Google quickly reveals that he's not.

Particularly when you notice that Apple are selling leather iPod cases.
