Gawker has unearthed Steve Jobs’ FBI file for us all to lay eyes on. Contained within are things most of us knew (or at least suspected). He had enemies? Duh. Drugs? Of course! But there are a few gems that managed to catch our eye.
We’ve always joked about the reality distortion field when it comes to the Apple press conferences, but the phrase came up repeatedly in the FBI’s investigations.
“Several individuals questioned Mr. Jobs’s honesty stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals. They also commented that, in the past, Mr. Jobs was not supportive of [redacted] (the mother of his child born out of wedlock) and their daughter; however, recently has become supportive.”
And apparently its surprising when someone interested in Eastern philosophies “still associates with reputable people”?
“He advised that the Apointee lives within his means financially, however, based upon his newfound religious beliefs, the Apointee lives more of a spartanlike and at times even monastic existence. He added however, the appointee still associates with reputable people. He also advised that although the Apointee is not an engineer in the real sense, he understands the base technology and technical jargon to the extent that he is an innovative force within the technical community, in terms of the contributions he has made.”
Oh and in case you’re wondering, Jobs graduated high school with a 2.65 GPA. Young, unmotivated stoners should all feel confident that they too will be worth billions some day. Check out more about the report over at [Gawker]

I noticed the writer failed to pass on the information questioning is morals, ethics and honesty from the original article – but by the nature of the Jobs articles getting published today seems like it is long enough to start printing some truth about a man that has wrongfully been painted like a saint for the past 4 months – about time.
Let him rest in peace, he is gone, no more, appreciate the fact that he did a lot of good things which have shaped our technology today, and if not all his actions were good then how is he different to anyone else, no one is perfect, my belief is once they are gone… you llet the rest in peace.
If your aim is to let every dead person rest in peace then that goes both ways, no good comments, no bad comments – forget them completely they are gone – you can’t say you want to warp reality and just say good things as they are now dead and live a lie, that is just wrong. And would mean that we would need to just talk about all the good things really evil people have done throughout history.
And I don’t think anyone is denying what he did as a job, and that he was good at that – but that isn’t who he was, it is what he did, just a part of who he was. Look at someone like Churchill, renowned for doing great things but personally a deeply flawed person, with a patchy past, and he made some bad calls that almost lost us a war – if it wasn’t for the Russia’s we’d have been screwed. George Bush, bad political leader that I wouldn’t have the time of day for, but he know how to party, great guy to share a few lines and beers with.
Do you know how to tell that a billionaire isn’t a nice people? Because they are a billionaire, that is how we know. A good person shares and gives, a good person isn’t an egoist, a good person doesn’t lie and cheat to get one over on others, a good person has morals and ethics, a good person is loyal and honest, a good person doesn’t work at becoming a billionaire. The only way a good person can become a billionaire is if they inherit it.
I’m sure not all billionaires are bad people…
I reckon you are right, I’m sure we could find an exception to the rule. But ask yourself this, you have £500m in the bank and £500m coming in each year, what do you do? Spread the money between family and friends, help people thrive and setup foundations to help the poor or young people start-up business, feed the starving, give shelter to the homeless, help with pain and misery around the world, etc, etc, etc? Or hoard money in a bank? What would a good person do? What would a bad person do? What would you do? What did Steve Jobs do?
I would personally hoard the money in the bank, but I’m evil, I don’t give a f**k – screw the starving kids, if they didn’t want to starve then they should have worked harder, begging bastards.
You’re right. Gates has so far given over $40 billions of his own money to feed and educated poor people around the globe.
What does a 2.65 GPA mean, in Queens English?
B’s or C’s depending on the school. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(education)#United_States
Thanks. I was being to lazy to do that myself. Missed a golden opportunity for this
