Skunkworks At Apple -- The Graphing Calculator Story

Posted by timothy on from the reads-like-fiction dept.

avitzur writes with a link to the story behind the Macintosh Graphing Calculator. An excerpt from this strange account: "It's midnight. I've been working sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. I'm not being paid. In fact, my project was canceled six months ago, so I'm evading security, sneaking into Apple Computer's main offices in the heart of Silicon Valley, doing clandestine volunteer work for an eight-billion-dollar corporation."

    Wasn't there a story here this week on the Linux industry being worth $35 billion.

    Does that make OSS developers [punches numbers into his non-graphing abacus] 4.5 times more idiotic?
