Review of Steve Jobs (2015) by Mee T — 02 May 2016

OK, beyond the "Steve Jobs invented everything" trope, the recurring theme of Jobs denying his daughter Lisa is contradicted, at least in later years, by Lisa Brennan (Jobs)'s statement in a 2008 interview: "In California, my mother had raised me mostly alone. We didn't have many things, but she is warm and we were happy. We moved a lot. We rented. My father was rich and renowned and later, as I got to know him, went on vacations with him, and then lived with him for a few years, I saw another, more glamorous world. The two sides didn't mix, and I missed one when I had the other." '.

As to the "LISA" name being just a coincidence, nobody comes up with "Local Integrated System Architecture" unless they are backing into it starting with the name, and this film gives no explanation for another Lisa being the namesake. Even the rumor that an "L" was added to "ISA" (the IBM PC "Industry Standard Architecture") falls flat, since work started on LISA before IBM released its PC. That is like Stanley Kubrick offering that the "HAL 9000" computer from "2001" was not named for being one step ahead of "IBM" but rather was an acronym for "Heuristic and ALgorithmic." A stretch at best.
