Steve Jobs Gives The Bird on Xserve Video

Posted by pudge on from the no-comment dept.

opaquewhite writes "In the recent 'Apple Introduces Xserve' video, an audience member asks two questions, the first regarding Apple's plans for licensing WebObjects, and the second a slam on Apple -- and a poorly aimed one, considering it focuses on slamming Apple's choice several years ago to license AIX for some of their early server offerings. Steve's response while the man is answering his question had me rolling on the floor practically in tears. To see it for yourself, take a look at the video and skip ahead to about 01:28:30 and watch from there. At 01:29:02, Steve makes a familiar gesture to push up his glasses -- glasses which by any account needed no adjustment. A video capture is available."

    I watched it. He adjusts his glasses at the beginning of the question. The "heckler" is a 15 year Mac user -- so not someone who wants to stick it to Apple or make Jobs stumble.

    About half of glasses wearers use their middle finger to adjust their glasses. Nothing sinister about it.

    In short, not news.

    like the Mac fans claimed OS-X was pronounce "Oh Ess Ten". I'm not buying that.

    Personally I say "oh ess ex" but Apple says it's OS Ten. OS 10,10.0.4? No. I don't buy it either. But I guess one day we will have an XI...

    I don't know what Apple's motovation was for using a roman numeral, but I'll bet you anything MS put an X in the new Windows to confuse it with Mac OS X, same reason they have a "Luna" interface that sort of sounds and looks like "Aqua"
