You think you know who Steve Jobs is? What the public saw barely scratched the surface of this enigmatic man. While most inventors and other great cultural revolutionaries are often quite quirky, Jobs was at the extreme reaches. He would throw tantrums and harshly berate his employees in front of others, then later be the definition of charm, making working for him extremely difficult. As one employee said, He didn't invent computers, cell phones or portable music/audio devices, but he knew how to package them and make the world not only want one, but make them think they couldn't live without one. He single-handily changed the world and there is hardly anyone who hasn't been touched by one of his "inventions".
