Steve Wozniak praises Michael Fassbender’s portrayal of “Steve Jobs”

It turns out that isn’t entirely true.

The real story surrounding Jobs’s first departure from Apple may never be known, as several company insiders have given varying accounts over the years.

According to Wozniak, Jobs wasn’t willing to accept that the Lisa computer was too expensive to make, and in turn he blamed Apple’s engineers.

In a post on Facebook Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) co-founder Wozniak wrote, “Steve Jobs wasn’t pushed out of the company”.

“After the Macintosh failure it’s fair to assume that Jobs left out of his feeling of greatness, and embarrassment about not having achieved it”, Wozniak wrote.

While Jobs has been portrayed as an unforgiving perfectionist who was hard on those who fell short of his high expectations, Apple the company and its devices came across like people s friends.

Disclosure: John Sculley is an investor in NDTV’s Gadgets 360. After Steve returned he blocked leaks that were hurting us (great move that hadn’t been done by others) and kept Apple in good shape while working on great new products but not releasing any old junk. While addressing students at Stanford, a completely different point of view was offered by Jobs himself in 2005. I owned the Apple ][ and just told him to go get another computer if he wanted only 2 slots for a printer and modem (which he understood) instead of 8 useful ones. He took a sabbatical and decided to leave Apple. “He was down, no one pushed him, but he was off the Mac, which was his deal – he never forgave me for that”.

Opening across the Philippines on January 13, 2016, Steve Jobs is distributed by United global Pictures through Columbia Pictures. Steve Jobs changed our lives with inventions like the iMac, iPad, iPhone, and iPod, but at what price did his electronic children cost?

A new movie about his life, starring Michael Fassbender, examines the darker side of his behavior over the last forty years or so. And while Gibney drags matters out longer than necessary (clocking in at more than two hours, the film targets some tangential wrongdoings that are merely industry practice and not necessarily the direct fault of Jobs), he still manages to give us a thorough peek at the circuit board that drove Jobs and shines light on the complex wiring that powered him.

Gibney did not turn his lens from blemishes, and some see the documentary as suggesting that Jobs shortcomings as well as his genius may have gone into Apple creations.
