"Do not go out of your way to annoy Steve Jobs." -Sun Tzu

An amusing article giving a history lesson or two about dealing with Stevie.

[2aday.wordpress.com]






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Well NBC decided they wanted more $ for their program downloads (sound familiar) and would end their contract with Apple at years end. Jobs said nope, why wait if it's going to end do it now end it now.

So NBC goes from wanting Apple to charge $4.99 per rather than $1.99 per to $0.00 per. Sounds to me like the same standoff they had with the music executives. Also sounds as short sighted.
