Steve Jobs's Love Letter to His Wife: Biographer Isaacson on Steve Jobs: ‘I just listened’
Steve Jobs's Love Letter to His Wife: Biographer Isaacson on Steve Jobs: ‘I just listened’
Steve Jobs told Walter Isaacson he wanted him to write his biography because he’s good at getting people to talk. Jobs, it turns out, didn’t need much prodding, secretive as he was about both his private life and the company he founded.
Steve Jobs told Walter Isaacson he wanted him to write his biography because he’s good at getting people to talk. Jobs, it turns out, didn’t need much prodding, secretive as he was about both his private life and the company he founded.
“I just listened,” said Mr. Isaacson, whose book “Steve Jobs” (Simon & Schuster) went on sale last week. Jobs, who died Oct. 5 at 56 after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer, was a man full of deep contradictions, a product of 1960s counterculture who went on to found what is now the world’s most valuable technology company, Apple Inc.
Mr. Isaacson said Jobs was a compelling storyteller with “fascinating stories.” Sometimes, the author would hear him tell those tales two or three times, often with slight variations. But through more than 40 conversations with Jobs, as well as interviews with his family, close friends, co-workers and rivals, Mr. Isaacson painted a rich portrait of a complex, sometimes conflicting figure.
Mr. Isaacson began work on the book in 2009 after Jobs‘ wife, Laurene Powell, told him that if he was “ever going to do a book on Steve, you’d better do it now.” It was just after Jobs had taken his second medical leave as CEO of Apple, in January of that year. His third leave, which began this past January, would be his final one.
“He was not sick through much of this process,” Mr. Isaacson said, when asked about what it was like to be working on the book and speaking with Jobs‘ family while he was ill.
“We took long walks,” he said. “Every evening, he would have dinner around the kitchen table with his wife and kids. He didn’t go out socializing or to black-tie dinners. He didn’t travel much. Even though he was focused on his work, he was always home for dinner.”
Those who see Jobs as the iconic CEO first might be surprised to read about his devotion to his family. It wasn’t always evident. As a young man, Jobs denied paternity of his first daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, for years after Lisa was born in 1978. The two later reconciled.
Mr. Isaacson said he was most surprised by the intensity of Jobs‘ emotions.
“Sometimes I’d look up and there would be tears running down his cheek,” Mr. Isaacson said.
Jobs told him he was always moved by “artistic purity.” Sometimes, it was the design of a product, or even the creation of an advertisement that would move him to tears. Other times, it happened as he talked about a person who meant a lot to him. For his 20th wedding anniversary with Ms. Powell, Jobs wrote her a letter that he read to Mr. Isaacson from his iPhone. By the end, Mr. Isaacson said, he was crying uncontrollably.
“Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times,” Jobs wrote in the note. “Our love and respect has endured and grown.”
Those around Jobs referred to his ability to influence the perception of those around him as his “reality distortion field.” Though on the surface it sounds similar, this was far more complex than someone who is lying or deluding himself. As Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak puts it in the book: “You realize that it can’t be true, but he somehow makes it true.”
The “reality distortion field” was Jobs‘ way of getting people to do what they thought was impossible, Mr. Isaacson said. An example was how he’d tell an engineer working on the Macintosh that he could save 10 seconds on the time the computer needed to boot up if he just wrote better code.
“And the guy would say ‘No you can’t,’ ” Mr. Isaacson said.
Jobs then asked the engineer if he could do it if it would save a life. And so the engineer did; he wrote better code and he shaved not 10 but 28 seconds off the Macintosh’s boot-up time.Read More

Ève Angeli Profile
Born: Vanessa Annelyse Ève Garcin August 25, 1980 (age 31) Sète, Hérault, France
Nationality: French
Occupation: Singer
Vanessa Annelyse Ève Garcin (born on 25 August 1980 Sète, Hérault, France), better known by her stage name Ève Angeli is a French pop singer, who won an NRJ Music Award for Best New French Artist in 2000–2002,.
Ève Angeli Biography
She began her rise to fame on the television show Graines de Star in 1999. Her star-making performance on the show led to a major-label recording contract with Sony Music and the eventual release of her debut single, "Avant de Partir," in 2000. The lead single from her forthcoming full-length album debut, "Aime-Moi" (2002),[1] "Avant de Partir" was a Top Five hit on the French singles chart. The follow-up single "Elle" was a major hit also, breaking into the Top Ten, and though successive singles "Je Sais" and "C'est Pour Ça" were less popular, the run of hit singles helped carry Aime-Moi to number 11 on the French albums chart.[2] In 2002 Angeli won the NRJ Music Award for Best New French Artist and released her second album, "Nos Différences", which spawned a modest hit with its title track, a bilingual collaboration with the British boy band A1. Relative to her debut album, however, "Nos Différences" was a disappointment and Angeli subsequently receded from the spotlight for a couple years. She re-emerged in 2004 with the reality TV show La Ferme Célébrités, a greatest-hits compilation "Le Meilleur d'Eve Angeli", and the new single "Une Chanson dans le Coeur," her biggest hit in years. Her third album, "Viens" (2005), followed, and while it spawned a couple modest hits with "Viens" and "Je Vais T'aimer," it continued to mark a downturn in Angeli's commercial success and concluded her association with Sony.
In subsequent years, Angeli published a book, Mes Evangélismes: Pensées d'une Blonde (2007), and released her first independent album, "Revolution" (2008). She currently lives in Bagnols sur Cèze with her husband and manager, Michel Rostaing whom she married on camera in 2007, during the second and final season of her reality tv show La Vraie Vie D'Ève Angeli (Ève Angeli's Real Life).Read More
American Idol star Lauren Alaina shows off slimline figure after shedding 25lbs Wildflower
The 16-year-old singer has shed an incredible 25 pounds in the past five months, and now she is looking better than ever.
Lauren has revealed that reducing her meal sizes were key to helping her shift some excess weight.
She told Us Weekly: ‘Changing my diet was the big thing. I had to learn correct portion control.’
The talent contest star initially tried a meal delivery service focusing on upping her protein intake while eating fewer carbohydrates.
And despite her success with her diet, and sporting her svelte new figure on the red carpet recently, Lauren still wants to lose another 10lbs.
Describing a typical day’s diet Lauren, who wears a size two, tells the magazine: ‘I eat an egg-white omelette for breakfast, shrimp and veggies for lunch and chicken with asparagus for dinner.’
But she has also put in the hours working out in the gym too and credits a lot of squats as playing a part in her new shape. Read More
