As well as the interview with Steve Jobs and the profile piece on Apple, Fortune have also published an interesting story on Steve Jobs himself, called The Trouble with Steve Jobs. Writer Peter Elkind suggests

Jobs likes to make his own rules, whether the topic is computers, stock options, or even pancreatic cancer. The same traits that make him a great CEO drive him to put his company, and his investors, at risk.

It is an in-depth and well-researched piece, providing insights into Steve's personal and business background, his personality and treatment of staff, and most interestingly, the way he handled both a stock-options scandal and a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

An excellent read for anyone interested in what makes geniuses tick. Read the full article here.
