Ick, ick, ick. I wish I could downvote this. I stopped reading when it became clear what Brennan was doing - betraying a lot of confidences with Jobs to make a lot of money. I believe that he was often genuinely awful, and for all I know, Brennan could have been cheated out of a lot of money. But there are things in here that could hurt Jobs' wife and kids. Brennan should be ashamed.
The abandoned mother of the abandoned child of a multimillionaire is justified in recounting any awful behavior she cares to recount.

"We should not seek revenge on those who have committed crimes against us, or reply to their crimes with other crimes. We should reflect that by the law of karma, they are in danger of lowly and miserable lives to come, and that our duty to them, as to every being, is to help them to rise towards Nirvana, rather than let them sink to lower levels of rebirth." — the Dalai Lama

#14Although the tabloid could hardly have framed this article in a viler way, what Brennan actually wrote is reflective and poignant and deserves to be read. If there's another URL we can switch to, we'd be happy to (I tried but couldn't find one). If you comment on this article, please be charitable and please stick to what's interesting about it.
If he was not the brilliant leader of Apple we would simply say he was a douche bag. Just because he was great in one area does not excuse behaviour in another. Is there any level of business achievement that says that it is ok to have millions whilst the mother of your daughter is struggling to survive whilst bringing up your daughter?
As a business man he was brilliant. As a father he was a loser.

I do not understand the need to be charitable to Steve Jobs. If he was not the brilliant leader of Apple we would simply say he was a douche bag. Just because he was great in one area does not excuse behaviour in another.

Brennan's piece struck me as a pretty good example both of seeking to understand and of being charitable without excusing bad behavior. If anyone has reason not to do those things it's her, so I don't see why we can't too.
