"It would be a larger type if he had dropped acid once or gone to an ashram when he was younger," said Jobs.

The biography "Steve Jobs" by Isaacson hits bookstores Monday, but was released earlier than expected on Apple iBook and Amazon.com 's Kindle Sunday evening.

Gates, in his case was a little jealous of the Jobs hypnotic effect in humans, but is the icon of the technology "strangely imperfect as a human being."

Isaacson said in an interview on "60 Minutes" on CBS, Sunday, provided a better understanding of the personality of its work "and character traits.

While jobs revolutionized many different sectors, with its innovative products, it was not the best manager in the world, said Mr. Isaacson.

Jobs changed the course of personal computers in two relays and then Apple brought a revolution in the mobile market, but the inspiring genius known for his hard edges that have mostly alienated colleagues and investors with its first my-way-or-the highway-maxim.

Together with more than 40 interviews that Jobs gave the biography, the technology icon said he felt completely at ease brutally honest.

"It 'an ante that room. So we're brutally honest with each other and everyone can tell me they think I'm full of shit, and I can not tell anyone I think they're full of shit," Jobs said. "And we have an overwhelming argument in which the shouting to each other."

"Some view other"

Jobs that have revolutionized the world of personal computers, entertainment, music, mobile phones, tablets, digital publishing and retail stores, on TV and wanted to conquer, Isaacson said.

"He had a couple of other visions. He loves you easily use the TV," Isaacson said, speaking of Job last two and a half years of his life. "But he began to concentrate on his family again as well. And it was painful for a brutal battle. And there is talk, often in pain for me."

Jobs at its last meeting with Isaacson, in mid-August, there was still hope that there might be a new drug that could save him. I also wanted to believe in God and the afterlife.

"Since I had cancer, I thought (God) more. And I find myself believing a little more. Maybe it's because I want to believe in the afterlife. This is when you die, not just all go away," Isaacson, quoted as saying jobs.

"Then he paused for a moment, and I said" yes, but sometimes I think it's just like an on-off switch. Click and you're out, "Isaacson said Jobs." He stopped again, and said. And that's why I do not like to put the switch to Apple devices "
