Yeah I really chalk this story up as a "Who gives a flying f*ck". Steve Jobs, like all of us, did things in their past that they either were proud of or ashamed of... Steve Jobs, unlike most of us, made a notable contribution on this planet. He's revered by many, despised by many, emulated by others and mocked by a few. As a substantial Mac "fanboy", I will have whatever opinion I have regardless if the man ate baby kittens for lunch... As an Apple stockholder, I find this story and the timing of the story to be an attempt to deflect or manipulate the stock market and or at most..the planned events of the day. Its clear by the number of those who've also commented, we just don't care & don't need to be reminded that there are those who wish to piss off the loyal user base of the most committed and profitable company on the face of the earth.

so why did the late Steve Jobs need a Top Secret Clearance for?... in 1988?... installing a back-door in every mac computer?... subconscious messages imbedded into the pixar movies?... access to alien technology to be incorporated into the Apple products?...
Quote from a Feb AI article "Jobs was considered for appointment to the President's Export Council by the George H.W. Bush administration in 1991".
I don't know if the 1988 investigation had anything to do with that or not though.
Yikes! So who gets to judge what can be written about an important person posthumously? I think it's everything or nothing. There is no middle ground when it comes to the facts.
If this article has been falsified then by all means crucify AI but until such time as someone has proof that such a thing as happened then all stories, regardless of the light it places the subject or how it much it humanizes one of our idols, are fair game.
No, it didn't need to be published. But there is also no need to castigate it as some kind of shameful article.
The point i’m trying to make here is that these journalists … their state is like one of a drug addict. Do you really think they think clearly before posting anything. I think iPhone 4 and Gizmodo example is enough. And then it comes back to bite them in the ass. Anyone cares to know how many times i used LSD while speeding?
This is very, very upsetting. I feel it should have been Steve Jobs' fiduciary duty to disclosed such a horrible and heinous offense when he returned and assumed the role of CEO. If I would have known of this infraction I would never have invested in AAPL back in the '90's when it was @ $4.25 a share......effectively risking my hard-earned money on some criminal.

You, so called journalists, have no shame.
He was arrested over a speeding ticket.
He also changed how we think about and use technology several times over.
Does anyone care about the speeding ticket?

Why not, given his SINs are also known?

Oh, big deal. It's unimportant and irrelevant. But hardly shameful.
Some of you are reacting as if something really private had been revealed. Does this really change anyone's perception of Jobs?

Reading about someone's traffic tickets makes you feel "dirty"?????? You are all insane.
I thought he was requested to be on a Presidential advisory board at the time. Or is that the wrong time frame?
Edit: That was an FBI background check, probably two or three years later:

I get it. It's completely ridiculous just like the people trying to find this story.
If this article has been falsified then by all means crucify AI but until such time as someone has proof that such a thing as happened then all stories, regardless of the light it places the subject or how it much it humanizes one of our idols, are fair game.

No kidding, eh? You'd think this was some serious dirt that completely changes our understanding of the universe.
