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*
I'm getting tired of the april fools crap

What the hell happened to Ingemar? I loved his conveyer-belt-ridin swedish ass. Truly a sad day.
This is just getting a little silly now.
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.
Apple is all about high quality, high cost.
Ikea is all about low quality, low cost.
Seems like a pretty big difference in philosophies.
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...

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.
"wide-ranging brief"

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
