    One time Steve Jobs ate only carrots for one week. Wozniak said he could have sworn Jobs' skin was turning light orange.

    Steve Jobs was adopted. His real dad was Abdulfattah John Jandali. Who once worked at a fancy seafood restaurant. At that time, Steve Jobs came to that restaurant often and was a big tipper. Steve didn't know the waiter was his dad. His dad, the waiter, didn't know that the famous Steve Jobs was his son.

    Steve Jobs had a religion, Zen Buddhism.

    The reason why Steve Jobs became a vegetarian was because he read a book and the book was powerful. (I forgot the name) But the only meat he eats is fish.

    Back in Apple's old days, Jobs' yearly salary was one dollar. 50 cents for the base, the other 50 cents for his performance.

    I've also read that book, so I already know these. But that book was really impressive - would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Apple and or Steve.

    I have so much respect for his ideas and vision. RIP Steve, we won't forget about you.
