QuoteFBI releases its file on Steve Jobs
Jobs tended to distort reality
THE UNITED STATES Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released its file on Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder and CEO that gave the world the Mac, the Iphone and the Ipad.
The information comes from an FBI background check in the 1990s when Jobs was being considered for appointment to a federal government commission and is a mix of interviews and other data.
Some things interested agents more than others of course - for example Job's prior drug use, his ability to spin the truth, what he did in his spare time, and his family life.
"Several individuals questioned Mr Jobs' honesty stating that Mr Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals," the report says in summary of the responses collected.
Other things that the FBI noted include Jobs' relationships, such as the fact that he had a child while unmarried.
"They also commented that, in the past, Jobs was not supportive of (the mother of his child born out of wedlock) and their daughter; however, recently [he] has become more supportive," it adds.
Naturally his use of drugs pops up a few time and the FBI presumably furrowed its brow when it noted that Jobs had tried marijuana, LSD, and, gasp, alcohol. All that was very much in the past by the time the report was produced however.
Ultimately the FBI concluded that Jobs was "not a communist" and described him as a "person of trust" and someone that would never be accused of "prejudice and bias". He was, the file says, loyal and of good character.

BTW The Inquirer deliberately caps up Iphone and the like because a) it is grammatically correct and b) it annoys Apple fanboys.
Wait so he was not a Communist? Good to hear.
But 'Iphone' is not 'grammatically correct' at all.
The name of the product is 'iPhone'. It is a name, right? Therefore whatever the name is, is grammatically correct. Hell, before there was an 'iPhone' the string 'iphone' was not even a actual word no matter how you capitalize it.
Shocking the Gub'mint noted stuff when he was up for a position on the export council. SHOCKING.

The Federal Bureau of Intimidation is not impressed with meaningless proprietary trademarks.

They're just being deliberately contrary and tongue in cheek so it's really not worth arguing about.
I worked somewhere previously that refused to let QinetiQ have that second capitalised Q.
Worse, there's a chip shop round the corner called "Fish@Chips". I wonder how they answer the phone?

Shouldn't it be "who gave the world the Mac" instead of "that"? Wouldn't "that" refer to "its file" in this sentence?

Jobs was a robot without emotions, so "that" is technically correct.

No, some other alien emotions.
I want some fish at chips.
Isn't this a bit too early? I mean he is dead but other people mentioned in the report may be still alive.

I'm sure the FBI can fix that if it's a problem.
It's called [spoiler]redaction[/spoiler].
