Did Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography leave you hungry for more access to the Apple founder? Would you mind if that access came in the form of a 16-year-old interview transferred from a VHS tape onto a 70-foot movie screen? No? Good news! The Los Angeles Times reports that in mid-November, Landmark Theaters will be showing a "lost" interview with Jobs from 1995.

This was spotted at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store on Friday morning during the hubbub prior to the iPhone 4S's release. That is a real hairstyle! It's possibly cooler than the tribute on Bond Street we wrote about last week.
This cleverly done Steve Jobs tribute on Bond Street between Broadway Bowery and Lafayette was brought to our attention today. The other view, of a younger Jobs:
In the five days since Steve Jobs' death, Apple stores across the city have been filling up with impromptu tributes in the form of Post-it notes, half-eaten apples, and flowers. At the Meatpacking District location, every window in the three-story store is now full of dedications to Steve Jobs. The general tone is split between grief for a great man, and thanks for all the cool stuff he made.

Ron Wayne was a 41-year-old draftsman at Atari when he first met Steve Jobs, and the 21-year-old convinced him to help out with a home computing project. That project, of course, was Apple, and according to the Mercury News, Wayne "designed the company's original logo, wrote the manual for the Apple I computer, and drafted the fledgling company's partnership agreement." Wayne sold back his 10% of Apple after 12 days with the company, recouping $800. Those shares are now worth an estimated $35 billion, but in an interview with Bloomberg News about the passing of his former co-founder, Wayne says he has no real regrets about the cash. In fact, his thoughts on money are remarkably similar to Jobs'.

The deification of recently deceased Steve Jobs continues apace. A 1982 portrait of the Apple chief by Diana Walker is now being displayed on the first floor of the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian. It's a pretty amazing photo:

It was a big day for American capitalism yesterday. Nothing captured the dichotomy of how citizens were thinking about it better than the above tweet on how a captain of industry was being eulogized (after the suicides of his de-facto factory workers have largely been ignored), on the same day Wall Street was under an assault like it's never seen at the hands of the American public*. 
We're hearing reports that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple. Jobs, who has struggled with health problems for some time, sent the following letter to the Apple Board of Directors: 
Remember how part of the Brooklyn Municipal Building is being turned into a mall? The anchor of the new retail space is going to be an upscale restaurant. Sounds fine, even if Brooklyn doesn't necessarily need more restaurants. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has other ideas for the space, though. He really wants an Apple store. 
The forthcoming biography of Steve Jobs isn't due in bookstores till March 6, 2012. But iSteve: The Book of Jobs is already up on Amazon. Is this cover for real? It's impossibly janky. It's probably just a placeholder. Hopefully. Pre-order now for $18!
