    I'm attracted to 'em.

    Don't worry, this technology will be banned for politicians faster than you can say "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

    Woz was never fired.

    But yeah, Jobs, coming back, took just stock options in lieu of pay. But seems it's more an ego thing to prove to the world that 'they' were wrong to have kicked him out in first place so definitely an outlier in this discussion. Still Tim McGraw will be an interesting case study in seeing what he does with Apple.

    What about that Apple guy named Steve? I hear he's still on the payroll and receiving a 'small' salary.

    Yes. Yes they do. A few years ago, a friend invited us to a party and when we got there, we didn't see anyone else we knew. And the people were weird. Finally, our friend told us it was a mensa party and she thought we'd be interested. Haven't seen that 'friend' since.

    Nope; just a purchase from iTunes. Still looking forward to when something like Slurm's available.

    Actually, there're SSH clients for iPad. We use them to touch our servers when in meetings and such.

    Next you'll be saying that most people will be happy with cars they can't work on and tv's that can't be repaired with parts from the drug store. Madness!

    But, but, everyone else who doesn't feel exactly as I do about stuff is just plain wrong! Except for music. Nothing's any good if anyone else likes it.

    But if there's a zombie attack, people seem to skip the chainsaws, shotguns, cricket bats and flamethrowers and go straight for the flash light. Weird!

    Wait, shirts that highlights their boobs.; you think boobs are sexually attractive? You do know that they're just modified sweat glands that are used for feeding baby primates, right? And you want to color on them with fluorescent markers?

    And an NYTimes blind taste test of top shelf vodka (with 1 ringer) picked U.S. Smirnoff vodka as best tasting. Go figure.
