Early signatures seem to show his name signed "Stevin Jobs," and not "Steven Jobs" as it is spelled on his wiki. Should this be researched?

I'm concerned about the section on his hiring at Atari. It had nothing to do with Woz's pong, he went and showed them that later after he was hired. All accounts state Al hired him just to take a chance, not because of any game. I.E. sources such as 1 and 2. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 21:18, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear if Jobs was ever listed as the sole inventor of any patent, (like Steve Wozniak for instance). Please clarify in the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uscbino (talk • contribs) 23:35, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
