full name Spelling[edit]

(User1)->Early signatures seem to show his name signed "Stevin Jobs," and not "Steven Jobs" as it is spelled on his wiki. Should this be researched?

(User2)->forget it, no need for research its spelled as "Steven" from the start. you have the wrong information

Atari hiring[edit]

I'm concerned about the section on his hiring at Atari. It had nothing to do with Woz's pong, he went and showed them that later after he was hired. All accounts state Al hired him just to take a chance, not because of any game. I.E. sources such as 1 and 2. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 21:18, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Steve Jobs. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

N Archived sources still need to be checked

Innovations and designs[edit]

It is not clear if Jobs was ever listed as the sole inventor of any patent, (like Steve Wozniak for instance). Please clarify in the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uscbino (talkcontribs) 23:35, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

He was a highly unpleasant person[edit]

Paragraph 2, Sentence 1, Currently: "Jobs's countercultural lifestyle and philosophy was a product of the time and place of his upbringing. "

Edit to "Jobs' countercultural lifestyle and philosophy was a product of the time and place of his upbringing."

Grammatically correct = Jobs' Not Jobs's. Nvc wildcat (talk) 05:36, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
