Everyone’s favorite Cupertino, California-based fruit company has a surplus of unicorn tears, so many in fact that Tim Cook wants them off the books and will distribute them to shareholders sometime next year. Sure. We’ve heard this from regular shareholders, as well as institutional investors endless bleating for “their share” of the spoils, more than once before. However, now that Steve Jobs is gone, the bleaters are back.
There are promotional tours and then there’s the virtually non-stop roadshow that has been Walter Isaacson for the past three months. Oprah, Leno, The Voice, NPR, CNN, PBS, broadcast and print everything. He started teasing Steve Jobs before it was released and now he’s telling us that the book we just finished reading wasn’t the finished product and that a mo’ better version is coming.
In a very, very short piece published in a British newspaper — still killing trees there in merry ol’ England — the Wolfram Alpha founder speaks fondly of his interactions with Apple’s late great co-founder, CEO and all around genius in charge. Step inside for the notable quotables, though few are rather — in true Jobsian fashion — memorable.
Who loves the Apple cofounder? An amazing array of people and organizations have shown their respect and affection for Steve Jobs in a whole host of ways, both expected and some just off the wall. Stamps? Yup. Giant iPhones? We’ve got that, too.
Apple’s CEO has been called callous, insensitive and even a serial sociopath. Now, he’s being accused changing Western culture and not for the better. People getting things wrong, becoming shallow and we have a perpetrator to to pin it on.
The timing of this just wrong. More than six years since the first affected products shipped and three years after the company first formally acknowledged and began fixing the problem in other countries, Apple is spreading the first generation iPod nano replacement program worldwide.
No single individual has Jobs’ chops, taste, silvery (acid) tongue or authority — will Apple continue to make insanely great products and services now that Steve’s gone? Though some have their doubts, the man himself seemed rather confident the team and company he built was ready to continue on.
Honestly, I’m a fan and I’m starting getting burned out on Steve Jobs interviews and documentaries. Nevertheless, for those with the stomach for still more of the most brilliant jerk, hero, bully, genius… whatever of our age, there are several full measures more to be had. Step inside to find out where to watch three…
Back in 2009, it’s now known, Steve Jobs wanted to buy Dropbox for a “nine-figure sum,” saying that their product was feature not the basis for a company. However, the founders turned him down, believing they were building a big and still to date profitable company.
Life goes on. Halloween is a tradition at Steve Jobs’ Palo Alto home and this year was no different. Decorated with jack-lanterns, lights and swathed in dry ice fog and scary sounds, a gaggle of parents and kids queued Monday outside the house ahead of Trick or Treat’s 6:30pm start.
