Steve Jobs' handwriting analyzed Macworld UK reports that Apple CEO Steve Jobs' handwriting has been analyzed by graphologist, Shelia Kurtz. "Unusually, Jobs does not capitalize the first letters of his name, she noted. She's not sure why, 'could it be low self-esteem? Maybe. Could it be that he doesn't let his ego interfere with his understanding? Perhaps.' His handwriting also displays signs of 'serious impatience' and a 'tendency toward sarcasm'."

W00t, new iPod software. And a security update. Although this is probably old news... O.o I don't leave my system awake and connected enough to catch these, apparently. Buggers.

Interesting.. he doesn't capitalise? I'd be interested to learn why.. if it's something deliberate, or more a matter cemented into habit. Nothing unusual, after all - even spaces only came into Western writing around the 1600s, as I recall, and of course, there's no such thing as "case" in katakana, hiragana, kanji, Chinese glyphs, or Korean script. (And it's always looked uncomfortable in Russian, too..)
