1. If you really want
an honest answer to that question, you should try elsewhere, not on this forum.

2. Not an Apple employee, but have known several of them
I don't think it's any secret that Steve Jobs is basically an uncompromising jerk in person, in a 'Warhol' sort of way. Smart? Talented? Hell yes. Nice? Hell no.

One of the things that the Apple employees I've known feared the most was ending up on the elevator with Jobs. The 'other Steve' (ie., Woz) is a really, really nice guy, but Steve Jobs -- not so nice.

:shrug:

4. I was visiting apple one day to see a friend that works there -- we ran into Jobs
in the hall, and he was very warm friendly and bubbly to my friend. Just goes to show you.

5. That was the infamous "Reality Distortion Field".
In actuality, he told you to fuck off, spat in your face, and then stole your wallet. ;)

6. Very demanding. He's like Martha Steward, but because he's male, he
doesn't get the grief that Martha does. You know, he's a genius, but she's a bitch. That kind of sexist thing.
