Jobs comes off like a complete douchebag dickwad.  What a shock.
QUOTE
According to one email, sent by Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin, to his staff, Apple’s then chief executive, the late Steve Jobs, phoned him personally to warn the web search company off recruiting Apple’s employees.

Mr Jobs told him, “If you hire a single one of these people, that means war,” Mr Brin wrote in a memo to his team in February 2005. In his view, Mr Jobs was being “just kind of crazy”.

In a separate incident, Mr Jobs warned Edward Colligan, the former chief executive and president of gadget maker Palm, that Apple could sue the company for infringing its patents if it did not sign up to his terms. On another occasion, he told Adobe that Apple would launch a raid on its staff if Adobe did not agree to the truce.
