Steve Jobs' FBI File: Tech Weekly

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The technology sector was abuzz with news this week, as a slew of companies reported quarterly results. Apple(AAPL), or more precisely its late CEO, Steve Jobs, was also in the spotlight.

Jobs made big headlines on Thursday when the FBI released its file on the Apple co-founder. The file was compiled in the early '90s when Jobs was being considered for a presidential appointment under President George H.W. Bush.

While much of what was in the file was already known thanks to Walter Isaacson's recent biography of Jobs, there were some nuggets contained in the 191-page document. The file was released under the Freedom of Information Act.

Jobs, according to the dossier, had a 2.65 grade point average in high school. The file also revealed that a bomb threat was made against Jobs and other Apple executives in 1985. Jobs was also the former part owner of forest land in Oregon, which included a mine.

Since Jobs passed away in October, Apple has added over $100 billion in market cap, as it marches towards a $500 share price and $500 billion market cap. To put that in perspective, Apple could be five times as valuable as Facebook, which is set to go public later this year.

Rumors also surfaced this week that we may see the iPad 3 sometime in early March. The next version of the iPad has long been rumored, but its timing could affect Apple's March earnings if customers wait to purchase the new tablet.

This would be similar to what happened when Apple missed fourth-quarter estimates because of media speculation about a new iPhone.

Apple shares gained 25 cents, 0.05%, to close the week at $493.42.
