Jobs' Bizarre Interview Question: 'Are You A Virgin?'

Isaacson writes that Jobs enjoyed asking job candidates "offbeat" questions to test their ability to think on their feet and gauge whether they had the right personality mix to succeed at Apple.

The author recounts how on one occasion, Jobs began peppering a potential hire, who was "too uptight and conventional," with unusual questions -- and even interrupted his answers with "Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble."

"How old were you when you lost your virginity?" Jobs asked. He continued, "Are you a virgin?" adding, "How many times have you taken LSD?"

Google 'Wholesale Ripped Us Off'

The animosity towards Google was clear, he thought Android as a "grand theft" that stole from the iPhone.

"Our lawsuit is saying, 'Google you f***ing ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off,'"

Jobs told Isaacson in a conversation about a patent lawsuit Apple had filed. "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product."

"I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this," Jobs added.
