The “60 Minutes” story featured audio from the more than 40 interviews Isaacson conducted with Jobs for his book. “You’re born alone, you’re gonna die alone–and what exactly is it that you have to lose, Steve?” Jobs says in one recording. “There’s nothing.” Here are the best bits from the “60 Minutes” report, which has posted additional material online. Jobs Unknowingly Met His Biological Father: Jobs, an adopted child, never formally met his biological father. But it turned out he unknowingly met him once and only realized it later. “I learned a little bit about him and I didn’t like what I learned,” Jobs said.

Gave away the ending of the book with the on off switch story. Also he got a lot more pictures on his iPad, of jobs, than he has in the book. Why not print them all?
What an ENDER!

He might have regretted not undergoing an operation however cancer of the pancreas is a death sentence. He might have been spared from the agony of the operation, its after effects, etc. He was able to function for years after such a diagnosis. I don’t know anyone surviving an actual case of pancreatic cancer.
Of course physician don’t want to extinguish all hopes by saying that his case is hopeless even though it is.
@jessica5666 It wasn’t because of his religion that he refused surgery, it was because of his own personal feelings on the subject. There’s nothing religious about a microbial diet. Did you even watch the interview?
No off-switch? That’s crazy. We need to conserve our energy, not waste it.
Sigh… why such a smart man lost his life for such stupid superstition aka. religion?
Part 1 please?
Death is something we will all face, it’s ashame he had to go so soon. None of us really have that much time here. Steve did enough for us all. If just a fraction of us would follow our dreams. The world would be a better place. Thanks Steve
Where’s part 1 ?
Yeah seriously, how could someone like him do such a stupid thing?
