I found that many writers of magazines or novels say something in a way that is not straightforward and to the point. Like this: _Dressed like a latter-day Steve Jobs in a tight black long-sleeve sweater, blue jeans, and white sneakers, Dropbox founder and CEO Drew Houston addressed a crowd of developers, reporters, and some tech royalty (including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg) at the company’s first developer conference in San Francisco._ _(source: [How Dropbox Could Rule a Multi-Platform World](http://www.technologyreview.com/news/516951/how-dropbox-could-rule-a-multi-platform-world/) by Rachel Metz)_ This paragraph is about the Dropbox CEO, but leads with the half-sentence is about Steve Jobs and his dress. I am also confused why the author described Dropbox CEO's dressing. Does it imply a kind of characteristics, or any similarity with Jobs?
