Steve Jobs' Grand Vision
ejungle writes "The Toronto Star has an excellent article on Steve Jobs and his increasingly interesting role as head of both Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios. The article goes into the market pressures surrounding both companies, and goes a long way to explain their recent moves."
but I kind of wanted to stop reading after this:
"The late Walt Disney built his empire with a mouse. The same can be said about Steve Jobs"
Dial a cliche...
They gotta fix the anti-aliasing around his eyes. The jaggies are creating things that look like wrinkles...
If I point out that you are incorrect, making me a foe does not make you any more correct.
Judge: Let me get this straight Mickey, you want a divorce from Minnie because you say she is crazy.
Mickey: No, I never said Minnie was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!
From excellent karma to terible karma with a single +5 funny post...
Jobs, who is worth $1.7 billion (U.S.), according to Forbes magazine last year, routinely declines interview requests and could not be reached for comment for this story. What does Steve Jobs not wanting to do an interview for the San Francisco Chronicle have to do with how much money he is worth?
Hell, me and my $1.7 hundred (U.S.), according to my most recent bank statement, would decline an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
Or even worse, a Bill Gates theme park. There they regularly have to reinstall the same rides, shuffle everyone out of the park for five minutes so they can turn the power off then on again, and charge everyone's admission through car manufacturers assuming that you want to go anyway. They also regularly report to the media that they are taking the defective rides (and associate deaths) seriously and are making it their top priority to fix them...any day now.
Then there is always the Linus Torvalds theme park, but not many people go there. Although the rides are rock solid, they are a lot less fun and harder to figure out.
