"...distort reality..."

A lot of people said that about him: it was his famous reality distortion field.

It's funny to see the famed reality distortion field, so often mentioned in terms of admiration of salesmanship and persuasiveness, with so many entrepreneurs attempting to emulate it, appear in an actual FBI file as some sort of evidence of potential criminality or unfitness for public service.

I don't think the file is making a value judgment. It's merely summarizing the Agent's interview with Jobs' reference.

Unfitness? Pretty sure it's what qualified him for the appointment.

in that case, my mistake

Apple would've gone bankrupt if Jobs took the position.

Instead this happened.

Apple now worth more than Google and Microsoft combined http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3572487

Wow, so relevant.... /s

I guess nothing's more relevant than the FBI files on Steve Jobs ;)

Who knows, man. He could have solved world peace, cured aids and cancer, gone back in time and killed Hitler. Instead, this happened. I guess we'll never know...
