Steve Jobs
There’s no doubt that Steve Jobs was a brilliant thinker and inspirational figure. But did you know that back in 1974, he was a dropout soldering resistors onto Atari’s arcade games to save up money for a spiritual trip to India? As crazy as this might sound, hold your horses because this story gets even crazier.
Of all places, Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell published on a Reddit thread the real reason behind Job’s and Atari’s bad blood. He said that it all started when he put Jobs on the night shift because his co-workers couldn’t stand how bad he smelled. From there, the Apple founder held a grudge against Atari, and that’s the whole reason why he wanted his company to appear before the videogame giant on the phone book list.
