Wozniak crying instead of getting angry just made me so incredibly sad. The guy genuinely has a heart of gold and he is one of the few people in tech I believe when he claims he does what he does for idealistic reasons (And for his own enjoyment because the man would always express his love for creating computers). Despite jobs shitty practices, Wozniak's venture with Apple did turn out for the better for him. He leads a happy life and felt fulfilled. Something I don't think you could claim for Jobs.
What I found most amazing is that Steve Jobs as brilliant as he was, was able to team up with a genius named Wozniak which allowed him to become who he did today. Steve Jobs had some phenomenal luck teaming up with Wozniak who for many may the real reason Apple was able to be formed. Jobs was in the right place with the right person at the right time.
I think the best thing about these videos is showing how human these great people are/were. How they made mistakes, messed up, we’re at times assholes. It’s really inspired, thank you for this work.
Okay, I wanted to explain the "Ron Paul" "Steve Jobs Dad" mix up, because it's a mistake, and while they happen, I think the why of how this happened is interesting. So, when you Google "Steve Jobs dad" the fourth result (and best picture) is a picture of Ron Paul (no idea why). They also bear a bit of a passing resemblance. "Alright Simon, but it's RON PAUL... He's a recognisable dude." I hear you cry... Indeed American reader, indeed. But not so much over the pond... Both myself (obviously) and Jack (our producer) are British, and we both produced and watched it, not realising that we had somehow implied that Ron Paul had fathered Steve Jobs (at 20 years old in case you were wondering). So yeah, that's my long winded apology. We're not exactly the Discovery channel budget-wise, and while we do have a couple of people looking over these videos, sometimes mistakes do slip through :).
The thing with Jobs, was he was extremely ambitious and it's typical of these people to be ruthless. Ferengi Rule of Acquisitions: 21 "Never place friendship before profit." 212 "A good lie is easier to believe than the truth." 272: "Always inspect the merchandise before making a deal." "The less employees know about the cash flow, the smaller the share they can demand." (unknown number) Wozniak was just too trusting, and shows how people like him get walked over, sadly. But Wozniak strikes me as a happy-go-lucky fella, that despite being told his dog or cat had died, he would still find something to smile and be happy about. Not a bad thing whatsoever.
looks for spiritual enlightenment in India, but scams his best friend and refuses to care for his child back in America? Well that's a major irony ain't it and money totally wasted on that trip
@Yousef Ghaneemah Lots of documentarians have backed up those claims, and worse. His early Apple employees worked without pay on his promise they'd get stocks, which he later refused to pay them because of his pure greed. Woz tells the story, saying he was disgusted and ended up giving them some of his own.
I think this only came out last year, so probably why it’s not here, but apparently when his daughter Lisa was living with him later on both he and his wife at the time treated her really badly. As in bordering on psychological abuse. I mean, obviously everything you read on the internet you take with a grain of salt, and she could hardly be unbiased after how he treated her mum. But it did sound pretty fucked up.
It feels great to witness, every once in a while, the birth of a new channel which in no doubt is certainly destined for greatness. Remember me Simon, remember me when this channel hits a million :-) Much love. Ps I came from the "Should you skip college?" video, had no idea this existed.
Lets speak the truth here, Jobs owes a whole major big thanks to Wozniak for helping him become who he is today and develop Apple. I am not even sure if Jobs would have become who he was had he not had the luck of Wozniak on his team. Yes Steve Jobs was a genius but he did not achieve building Apple alone.
you're making a lot of those "wrong picture mistakes" in these videos. I like you're videos and content, but maybe you should slow down and get your "facts" straight before you lose credibility.
The other way up is to screw your partners and employees and con people into buying overpriced products that get obsolete when you say so. That's what he did.
@@libertygiveme1987 As soon as you mention "Illuminati", most people LAUGH AT YOU UPROARIOUSLY and all of your credibility goes out the window...WAIT A MINUTE, you were making a joke! (Right?)
I very much enjoy your channel and the quality of the content, awesome work. Please consider Paul Dirac, Alan Turing and Nicola Tesla for your future videos.
Perhaps you should put a list of people you plan to do a bio on in the description (you can even put the expectant month in, if you feel brave). This way, everyone knows what you're working on. But so far, you guys are great. And Simon, I don't know how you have time for Bio, TIFO, and VP - I saw the behind the scenes video for TIFO, and it takes hours for you just put together a 10 minute clip!
I like these clever looks into the lives of interesting people. I would have loathed Steve Jobs. Manipulative almost to sociopath. The amount of digging to get material to put these together must be staggering. They are very well done though. For a while I thought they were only doing male biographies. I found some later of female biographic.
My English teacher just give me an assignment to copy whatever is said in this video, ALL HAND WRITTEN. it's only the second minute and I've spent two pages already
I watch your channels and I am very excited to be part of the beginning of this one. I think that you did a great job and this comes from someone who read the book! Keep at it 😎💐✨
I remember in 2001 at the computer conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft unveiled the tablet. Yet they had designed it for office use. It never took hold, I guess shelving it till Apple found it. What an epic blunder. Microsoft as always saw only the business applications of computers
Since I subscribed to this channel I've always wondered what exactly is Simon's role at Biographics? Is he just a talking head? Does he produce, research or write content? Although the biographies are limited, they are a great jumping off point for peaking your interest, especially for someone you know little or nothing about (my favorite are people I've never heard of or know little). Whatever his role, Simon does an excellent job of presentation and I look forward to seeing whose next in line for one life at a time. Thanks to the all the people who work hard to inform and entertain us. Bravo!!!
Steve Jobs had OCPD... I'm not sure how many people understand that mental health issues can only be managed. Him "being difficult " had its reasons! I respect and admire him. RIP his time was definitely cut short!
Love the content and your delivery, but as others mentioned, the sound effects are annoying and I find the music between clips is way too loud and obnoxious.
Love your videos. One quick mistake I saw was the picture of Niel Bushnell. The actual person you meant to reference is Nolan Bushnell from Atari. Mistakes happen, you all do great work!
Mike Czenkus They both traded freely on other people's work. But Bill has more technical talent. Then, I doubt anyone thinks of any MS product as "elegant".
Mike, Not sure if you're aware, but Bill Gates and his wife invested in 'POISONOUS VACCINES' for the children of Africa. Look it up. You should be able to find information on this.
Bill TOTALLY ripped-off the guy that designed DOS, payed him a PALTRY 50,000 for it, knowing he was going to make at least MILLIONS when he licensed it to IBM (and others), had AWFUL, predatory business practices (sell me your software or MS WILL DESTROY YOU) . Of course he also betrayed Apple when they loaned him two Macintosh machines when MS was making "office" for the Mac, and reverse engineered the GUI to come up with that awful, shoddy, third-rate Operating System, Windows (wretch), and proceeded to try to DESTROY the Mac. It's all computing history lore.....
@@libertygiveme1987Sorry to bring this up, since it is 2 years later. Bill Gates is supposed to be working on the corona virus vaccine. I'm REAL afraid, especially when I heard it will be MANDATORY! steve

Hi Simon, thank you for your biographics videos. I find it very useful and interesting compiled in 20 mins, great tool to know the basic history of a person, and then I can find out more if I am truly interested
Steve Jobs owned the house four doors down from my own in Sunnyvale. That was back in the day when Woz and he worked out of the garage and iPhone was just a dream. I delivered sandwiches to Industrial Light and Magic when I just broke ground. The Bay Area was a magical place then.
I watch all your videos and subscriber to all your cannels. Having said that, the bass during the talking breaks is way too loud. It's twice as loud as you voice. My ear drums can't take it.
I read a Cancer specialist share, after his death, that the Cancer he had, actually had an incredibly high survivability rate given traditional cancer treatment and that he basically chose death by believing that he could fast or meditate his Cancer away. Its a shame and needless waste. Its a good warning to listen to Doctors and not believe in crystals and alternative health for medical issues like Cancer.
1. Apple III and Lisa were around the wrong way. Both in the same market, but the Apple III was a much simpler machine released in 1980. The Apple III was the first design at Apple that the marketing department really stepped in. The development time frame for it lead to trying to fit too much into too small of a place as quickly as possible. This lead to 100% hardware failure in the early Apple III's. (In actuality, the shell needed to be build early due to the shells being aluminium cast as a Steve Jobs wanted to not have any fans in the design...). It didn't help that by the time the Apple III was in a good state, the IBM PC, a 16 bit, more capable machine had been released and industries had standardized on it. The Apple Lisa was first released in 1983, and it was originally to be a replacement for the Apple II, but soon grew rapidly due to feature creep to a 10k USD computer. Part of this was due to the insistance on the revolutionary GUI computer. Steve jobs would ultimately be forced out of that machine's development in 1982, to go and work on a new computer, the Apple Macintosh. 2. Steve Jobs wasn't ever CEO in the company during the early years. The original CEO, Michael Scott, was CEO from 1977 until 1981 when his poor choices in firing half the team working on the most profitable produce (the Apple II) lead to Mike Markkula becoming CEO till 1983, when Mike retired and John Sculley became CEO. Mike being the early angel investor in Apple. Steve was progressively given less and less power within the company, and according to the stories, for good reason. Steve wanted to funnel the money into the Mac, which was struggling (85% of the companies earnings in early 1985 were the Apple II). Also, every aspect that Steve had worked on or promoted had caused major issues and cost overruns. According to many people's stories, Sculley was ultimately tasked by the board of the company to keep Steve Jobs contained and they wanted to stick him in "new product development" and out of the Macintosh division, essentially removing any power from Jobs. Jobs tried to perform a coup and remove Sculley. It didn't work, and Jobs ultimately left the company. 3. Apple's management from when Steve Jobs left caused issues. They pretty much never developed the classic Mac OS that much and while trying to replace it, failed a lot. Tailgent, Copland, Gerswand, ect had left Apple without a stable os to build off, and had waited too long and milked Classic Mac too much, while Microsoft had developed Windows into a stable and useful OS with better features, and had a second series, the NT series, in the works that would go on to power the basis for the OS I am using now (Windows 10). So it's no surprise that Apple was taking to Sun Microsystems and NextStep about merging, specifically because they needed the next OS. Ultimately, Steve Jobs would gain control of the company through this merger, but Rhapsody, the porting of OpenStep to Mac Architecture was one of the main reasons behind the acquisition of NextStep. Oh, wait, Rhapsody was ultimately developed out into OSX. Steve Jobs actually only came in as a adviser, but ultimately was named interim CEO when the then CEO was fired.
Simon, Thank-You for this VERY INTERESTING Bio. of Steve Jobs!!!! You failed to mention Mr. Jobs last words as he passed into eternity, which were - "Oh WOW, Oh WOW"!!!!
3 year old Error corrections 1) NeXt was not a consumer product,they had 1 consumer model, released in limited quantities, but the company catered to the education and business markets 2) NeXt only shifted to software because the OS was in high demand by competing companies so instead of hardware they figured theyd just license & Sell user copies of the operating system to whoever wanted it. 3) Apple did not bring Steve Jobs back for his vision, Apple bought NeXt, because the OS interface at that point for the Mac was outdated and not user friendly, NeXt's OS was, so Apple bought it for the OS and got Steve Jobs with it, but he didn't become CEO right away, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the CEO was ousted and jobs was initially the interim and then he became the permanent CEO. bonus Fact: the current version of Mac OS is actually built on the same NeXt OS, that jobs had sold to Apple it has not changed, things have merely been added and expanded upon since the 90s when jobs sold/merged with/ to Apple. Bonus Fact 2: the only reason apple is still around is because of Microsoft, when jobs was named interim CEO he reached out to Bill Gates, and in exchange for stock Bill Gates bailed Apple out of debt, just enough that the Apple Steve took over started from scratch and everything apples done since was all Steve Jobs but without Bill Gates Steve Jobs would not have been able to do enough in time to bail Apple out they were legitimately right about to file for bankruptcy when jobs took over.
Biographics I like and love both Walt Disney (Thursday, December 5, 1901-Thursday, December 15, 1966) and Steve Jobs (Thursday, February 24, 1955-Wednesday, October 5, 2011) equally.
@@dapper_gent OR Trump, he already uses lipstick (he always puckers up for Putin), AND make up, AND that horrible comb over, who does he think he's fooling?
I love these but I think they would benefit from cutting out more uses of "well" and "they." So for example "steve and wozniak, they went public" could be "steve and wosniak went public" and it would sound a lot better. I haven't really noticed these filler words in the 10 minute videos but they stick out in the 20 minute version.
Simon, your teleprompter is a good one. You almost can't see your eyes scanning and they almost look like they are looking into the camera. Well done. OK, you are looking into the camera a lot of the time, good job.
A Wikileaks document said he was diagnosed in 2004 with HIV-1 on a PCR, STD test. Was negative on all other STD's. Take a look at him at the end. Makes sense. He had an easily treatable neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor, less lethal than other forms of pancreatic cancer. Look into it. I think it's true....
I agree Simon.......when all is said and done....he was a revolution...visionary i mean......thought way outside the box.......i would not be typing this to you right now if he wasnt an innovator...of technology......"stupid ego,or "sense of self".....
That was a good run-down of someone I'd heard about, but not known much about (even though I own apple devices). If possible, could you do one about Bill Gates as well?
can u lower the music volume down??? your voice is so quiet so i raise my volume up but the transition music is too loud it would wake my dead grandparent

Still a fascinating video!
But we love the occasional mistake or mispronunciation Simon, they’re like Easter eggs 😊
The video was still good. It was just odd seeing Ron Paul instead of Paul Jobs. I like this whole series. You have done a great job on these videos.
Biographics; doing a reverse image search on pictures could quickly ID them. Just a recommendation.
Wozniak seems like a genuine nice guy. The way Jobs used him and treated him was horrible.

Steve jobs would ultimately be forced out of that machine's development in 1982, to go and work on a new computer, the Apple Macintosh.
2. Steve Jobs wasn't ever CEO in the company during the early years. The original CEO, Michael Scott, was CEO from 1977 until 1981 when his poor choices in firing half the team working on the most profitable produce (the Apple II) lead to Mike Markkula becoming CEO till 1983, when Mike retired and John Sculley became CEO. Mike being the early angel investor in Apple. Steve was progressively given less and less power within the company, and according to the stories, for good reason. Steve wanted to funnel the money into the Mac, which was struggling (85% of the companies earnings in early 1985 were the Apple II). Also, every aspect that Steve had worked on or promoted had caused major issues and cost overruns.
According to many people's stories, Sculley was ultimately tasked by the board of the company to keep Steve Jobs contained and they wanted to stick him in "new product development" and out of the Macintosh division, essentially removing any power from Jobs. Jobs tried to perform a coup and remove Sculley. It didn't work, and Jobs ultimately left the company.
3. Apple's management from when Steve Jobs left caused issues. They pretty much never developed the classic Mac OS that much and while trying to replace it, failed a lot. Tailgent, Copland, Gerswand, ect had left Apple without a stable os to build off, and had waited too long and milked Classic Mac too much, while Microsoft had developed Windows into a stable and useful OS with better features, and had a second series, the NT series, in the works that would go on to power the basis for the OS I am using now (Windows 10). So it's no surprise that Apple was taking to Sun Microsystems and NextStep about merging, specifically because they needed the next OS. Ultimately, Steve Jobs would gain control of the company through this merger, but Rhapsody, the porting of OpenStep to Mac Architecture was one of the main reasons behind the acquisition of NextStep. Oh, wait, Rhapsody was ultimately developed out into OSX.
Steve Jobs actually only came in as a adviser, but ultimately was named interim CEO when the then CEO was fired.
Good knowledge.
Imagine how much better a company Apple would be in Ron Paul was Steve jobs dad.
You're a really fucking quality presenter, Simon.
Simon, Thank-You for this VERY INTERESTING Bio. of Steve Jobs!!!! You failed to mention Mr. Jobs last words as he passed into eternity, which were - "Oh WOW, Oh WOW"!!!!
Take Mona's relay of these words with a huge grain of salt.
Do Ron Paul. Many of us would greatly appreciate it.
Great vid! One very minor thing though. It's Reed College in Portland.
Came to the comments to say that, have a +1!
1:08 isn’t that Ron Paul? 😂😂😂
Steve wasn't a scientist. His title page should be red not orange.
💓💓Great content. I was like run Paul, steve jobs's father . Hold on this can't be. Lmao 😂😂😂😂
3 year old Error corrections
1) NeXt was not a consumer product,they had 1 consumer model, released in limited quantities, but the company catered to the education and business markets
2) NeXt only shifted to software because the OS was in high demand by competing companies so instead of hardware they figured theyd just license & Sell user copies of the operating system to whoever wanted it.
3) Apple did not bring Steve Jobs back for his vision, Apple bought NeXt, because the OS interface at that point for the Mac was outdated and not user friendly, NeXt's OS was, so Apple bought it for the OS and got Steve Jobs with it, but he didn't become CEO right away, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the CEO was ousted and jobs was initially the interim and then he became the permanent CEO.
bonus Fact: the current version of Mac OS is actually built on the same NeXt OS, that jobs had sold to Apple it has not changed, things have merely been added and expanded upon since the 90s when jobs sold/merged with/ to Apple.
Bonus Fact 2: the only reason apple is still around is because of Microsoft, when jobs was named interim CEO he reached out to Bill Gates, and in exchange for stock Bill Gates bailed Apple out of debt, just enough that the Apple Steve took over started from scratch and everything apples done since was all Steve Jobs but without Bill Gates Steve Jobs would not have been able to do enough in time to bail Apple out they were legitimately right about to file for bankruptcy when jobs took over.
Not even 2 mins and you're totally wrong about his lineage.
Biographics I like and love both Walt Disney (Thursday, December 5, 1901-Thursday, December 15, 1966) and Steve Jobs (Thursday, February 24, 1955-Wednesday, October 5, 2011) equally.
Great video! Please consider doing other tech moguls as well (Bill Gates, Elon Musk to name a couple)
Do Vladimir Lenin
put some lipstick on him.
@@dapper_gent OR Trump, he already uses lipstick (he always puckers up for Putin), AND make up, AND that horrible comb over, who does he think he's fooling?
Lenin, McCartney AND Marx.....he's the one that had that mustache and played drums...
I love these but I think they would benefit from cutting out more uses of "well" and "they." So for example "steve and wozniak, they went public" could be "steve and wosniak went public" and it would sound a lot better. I haven't really noticed these filler words in the 10 minute videos but they stick out in the 20 minute version.
Simon, your teleprompter is a good one. You almost can't see your eyes scanning and they almost look like they are looking into the camera. Well done. OK, you are looking into the camera a lot of the time, good job.
On the thumbnail that brought me here I was interested to see that Simon used the British spelling of Saviour - well done!
A Wikileaks document said he was diagnosed in 2004 with HIV-1 on a PCR, STD test. Was negative on all other STD's. Take a look at him at the end. Makes sense. He had an easily treatable neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor, less lethal than other forms of pancreatic cancer. Look into it. I think it's true....
I agree Simon.......when all is said and done....he was a revolution...visionary i mean......thought way outside the box.......i would not be typing this to you right now if he wasnt an innovator...of technology......"stupid ego,or "sense of self".....
Please do a video on Dennis Ritchie, he died the same month and year as Steve Jobs. He created the C language and the Unix operating system.
Thank you !
WOW turn down the volume mid sequence!!!
You completely skipped the creation of the Mac in "Siberia!"
Do Pablo Escobar
Very interesting show. I was not aware of much of this but found it fascinating. Thanks for doing diligence.
Every Monday and every Thursday 👌
One more correction, the head of Atari was Nolan Bushnell, not Neil Bushnell. But thanks for the great videos!
I had no idea Steve Jobs and Rand Paul were brothers...
That was a good run-down of someone I'd heard about, but not known much about (even though I own apple devices). If possible, could you do one about Bill Gates as well?
I never have/will understand WHY people piss away hundreds of dollars on tech that's ALREADY OBSOLETE by up to TWO YEARS shipped at your footsteps!
kinda wanna do LSD now.
Grammar Police hell yeah!!!
More than just a visionary and innovator but also an inspiration for the oddballs out there. Great legacy. Well put together, biographics.
Thought that was the whole point of travelers checks....
Why did you show a picture of politician Ron Paul? He not in the story at all 1:10
can u lower the music volume down??? your voice is so quiet so i raise my volume up but the transition music is too loud it would wake my dead grandparent
I wonder wether Bill Burr ever watch this. 😂
I understand how someone who is british wouldn't know who Ron Paul is...but you should know, you really should.
