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."
He uses both to push his product to others. That makes him a hyocrite.
uh no.
not only does the renderfarm run linux...but our desktops as well.
there are no plans for macs in the near future.
it's just not in the cards.
I wonder if it was a mac user who modded you down, i'll admit they can be biased sometimes.

Could someone tell me why everyone puts "Mr. Jobs" up on a pedistal, but everyone wants to bash
Bill Gates? BOTH have "borrowed" technology from
other places, both have used marketing to their
advantage. Both have given huge sums of money to
worthy causes. The only difference is that Jobs
builds Macs, Gates builds windows, and that Jobs
wanted to keep the entire process of a Mac to himself and not make it like the "PC" process where common components could be used. Therefore, there were tons more uses for lower priced PC's than propriatary Macs. Nothing against macs, but
for what I can buy in a PC to do the exact same thing in a Mac would cost me a bunch more money just to be "stylish" and arrogant.
I'm not into trends, I want something that works, and dosen't cost an arm and a leg, so I go with a PC.
Jobs isn't the "visionary" that everyone makes him out to be. It's just "stylish and trendy" to kiss his butt.
less expensive hardware prices.
