Steve Jobs to Become Ikea CEO
RLewis1241 writes "According to The
Register, Steve
Jobs seems to be broadening his horizons:
"IKEA will employ Jobs as "acting CEO", from next month. The technology icon will maintain his twin CEO roles at Apple Computer Inc. and Pixar Inc. but will also take command with a wide-ranging brief at the retail giant""
Great, now he can make furniture no one buys! *dodges random bottles*
Such a crappy joke, might as well dump on it.
I'm getting tired of the april fools crap

Slashdot,
I wonder why people think geeks are losers?

Naturally, on April 1.
Oh, well

You know, for my money you can never have enough of them.

What the hell happened to Ingemar? I loved his conveyer-belt-ridin swedish ass. Truly a sad day.
These are just going from bad to worse to obscene.
chair with a point ??

This is just getting a little silly now.
omfg shut the fuck up already.
jesus christ....
AHHHH!
in under 2 hours the entire main page has been flooded with shitty jokes. i need slashdot! april 1 is my least favorite day now :(
no, really. and i'm taking the time to tap this out on windows tablet edition. ow, the RSI.
How about: "Slashdot funny on April Fool's Day"
Apple is all about high quality, high cost.
Ikea is all about low quality, low cost.
Seems like a pretty big difference in philosophies.
Enough with the April Fools jokes! They're neither believable nor humorous in any way.
He's got experience selling to fad-obsessed 25-35 year olds hooked on useless crap just because it's trendy, it looks vaguely European/from the future, and it's made of plastic.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
He's determined to be the richest man in the world and beat Bill Gates even if he has to be CEO of every other company but Micro$oft!
I guess the real April Fools joke is that I'm surfing Slashdot instead of doing real work...

We'll have funky colored pink, blue, and green furniture with rotating thumbwheel lazy susans in the middle...click! click! click!
Please stop posting April Fools posts. No more Slashdot for me today.
Oh they'll buy it allright.. they'll buy it and like it
Starsucks
I wish that I could order one for each of the staff at /.
woot from ElBonia!
This is so completely random. When will this madness stop?!?! This year's April Fools stories are barely better than someone submitting their Mad Libs as a slashdot story...
Honestly, this crap is getting old. I'm sure there is some real news to talk about. Most of the rest of the world has not stopped for April Fools Day.
...of that old deal South Park did with Cartman's "real dad". Namely, you were so sure it would come to a close with the "next" episode (and it didn't), that when it really did, you just didn't care anymore. Not that /. will lose as many fans as SP did during that mess, but it is reminiscent.
Microsoft has just released their much anticipated hands-free cordless mouse. Warning, it may hurt a little at first.
It lasts 47 hours :( Sigh...
"wide-ranging brief"
ewww....thats more then i want to know about Steve Jobs' choice of underwear.

Please STOP already! If I see another April Fool's joke I'll kill myself ... but you'll be responsible and my wife will sue you for damages (I'm already in the middle of writing my suicide note).
Please? I really don't want to die.
kewl. i hope that he does some renaming of the ikea smörrebröd products and stops selling those rancid meatballs
Would you fkn stop with the Fools posts? Haven't you heard that making them after 12:00 is bad luck? AT LEAST MAKE THEM FUNNY?!!
This is getting so boring now...
/. for a couple of days right now.....
Please stop this nonsense, is not even fun anymore..
I am seriously thinking to quit reading
The lights went out....ha ha ha....april fool
I'm so funny and original, just like this stupid April Fool's shite!
IKEA is short for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Aggunaryd and should be capitalized. BTW, this is Elmtaryd, now try to pronounce it ;)
Fucking hell I wish my drugs would kick in
Let's just hope he doesn't make all sorts of furniture into a computer, like he did with the lamp (iMac).
1. Make furniture/computer hybrids
2. Sell them for an arm and a leg while not telling people it's a computer
3. Make $$$
I'd hate to start seeing "IKEA is dying" comments on /.
1)A one- buttoned couch
2)The iBook(-shelf assembly kit)
3)The iPad

Nothing for you to see here, please move along.
iGuess that makes him the iCEO again.
