For the real Steve Job, "Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer" by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine. Job and Gates are less innovators or scientists than promoters and showmen. We often confuse business acumen and obsession with profits with innovation and invention. It is a myth by US capitalism about itself. Also, to my Syrian brothers and sisters: don't mimic the Lebanese when they take pride in someone who is (really or through the imagination of the right-wing sectarian Christian, racist anti-Syrian, anti-Palestinian (people) newspaper, An-Nahar) of Lebanese origin even if he/she has never ever made any connection to his/her real or imaginative roots. Steve Job did not have any dealings with his Syrian father: he was raised by different parents. And most importantly, Job never ever made any connection with Syrians or Arabs. Just avoid the silly and humiliating path of Lebanese popular culture.
PS After I posted this, I was sent this link to a group by Syrian opposition in which he was claimed as the son of the Syrian revolution. How silly is that?
