[edit] Face-shot pictures

There are some very nice shots of his face here, that are licensed under CC. I don't know what the editors of this article prefer as the main picture but a closeup somewhere in the article is nice. ALTON .ıl 05:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The infobox image

Why does the image about this person have to also be an advertisement for the mac book air as well?JayKeaton (talk) 20:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clarity needed

The article states:

"In 1984, Jobs purchased a 17,000 square foot, 14 bedroom Spanish Colonial mansion, designed by George Washington Smith in Woodside, California, also known as Jackling House. Although it reportedly remained in an almost unfurnished state, Jobs lived in the mansion for ten years. According to reports, he kept an old BMW motorcycle in the living room, and let Bill Clinton use it in 1998."

What does the last "it" refer to? The mansion or the motorcycle (or the living room)? The clarity here could be improved.Daqu (talk) 07:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Jobs - Founder of Pixar

The opening paragraph states that Jobs Founded Pixar, surely this is incorrect as I thought he bought the studio off George Lucas. Tiki Nss (talk) 13:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Steve Jobs is NOT the founder of Pixar, it was a division of Lucasfilm that George Lucas sold to Jobs in 1986. Gonna have to change that. --219.93.207.114 (talk) 07:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Steven P. Jobs

Someone recently changed his name in the article to be "Steve P. Jobs". http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Jobs&curid=7412236&diff=218148403&oldid=218131404 In the past he was listed as "Steve Jobs (born Steven Paul Jobs..." Was there some consensus in the past on how his name should appear? Tweisbach (talk) 12:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
