I think Isaacson's book did a good job of summing up the Jobs legacy, professionally and personally. But it did leave me with some questions about who Jobs really was and, as you say, why he did things the way he did. I don't think that was Isaacson's intention, by the way. I just read that Isaacson welcomed the approach in "Becoming Steve Jobs" and said it was a story that needed to be told.

Totally agree what you say about slurs, etc. Steve Jobs was intimidating and powerful. People scorned, ridiculed or disciplined by him will take revenge.

Don't know about the movie. But once a story gets in the hands of Hollywood it can become something wonderful, predictable, sensational or awful.
