My screenplay for a Steve Jobs biopic is coming along nicely.
Missing the bit about the poster of a single rounded rectangle that hangs over his bed, but A++ will read again.

Thoughts on Jack Dorsey, by Steve Jobs
Jack,I have no problem with your success. You’ve earned your success; for the most part. The problem is, you wholesale ripped off my identity. Grand theft. I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. You are not just trying to be the next me, you are trying to be me….
Go the read the whole thing, it’s hilarious and has a good point.
"The trouble begins with a design philosophy that equates “more options” with “greater freedom.” Designers struggle endlessly with a problem that is almost nonexistent for users: “How do we pack the maximum number of options into the minimum space and price?” In my experience, the instruments and tools that endure (because they are loved by their users) have limited options."
Brian Eno, “The Revenge of the Intuitive,” (13 years ago!)
Even though this came out 13 years ago, this stuff was fairly obvious to anyone who followed Steve Jobs’s thoughts on the topic; he was saying this same thing about 30 years ago.

Adam Bubeníček’s icon of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
“One day, somebody will catch us napping…”
“One day, somebody will catch us napping,” writes Bill Gates in his book Business @ the Speed of Thought (1999). “One day, an eager upstart will put Microsoft out of business.”
He almost got it right. The guy who caught them napping was certainly very eager and was an upstart in his time, but not that young.
