Let's all take a moment to recognize that the man who is the reason we "waste" all our time in Mac forums, and have the greatest computers in the world to do it with, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer turns an oh-so-young 48 today (Feb 24, 2003). Happy Birthday Steve-o!!!

    I always thought that his birthday was sometime in August of 56. . . . That was the default clock date for a long time.

    You know, the importance of The Man is not to be overlooked.



    Although I live in Rome amongst a bunch of slackers and laid back Italians,

    I was quite surprised to see his birthday mentioned today in the shittiest free newspaper in the world.



    Its called Metro, by the way.



    Happy birthday Steve!

    Whether the person is important or not, it is only polite to send someone best wishes for his birthday.



    Happy Birthday Steve!

    Damn, I'm going to be a day late.



    Oh well, on my birthday in 1981 the Calgary Flames scored 11 goals against the Islanders. WAY cooler.



    (1981 also had the NHL's most penalized game ever - 84 penalties (392 mins) between the Bruins and Northstars)



    Google is cool. (though I did know the first one already..)



    Oh yeah, a very big "will never see it anyway" Happy Birthday to Steve. Yay.

    So what do you think he's wishing for when he blows out the candle?

    Perhaps another percentage point marketshare?

    what else do you get for a man at times elevated to demi-god status by a zealous following who purr over his creative technological offspring...



    SJ's already worth hundreds of millions of $ from sale of NeXT, original AAPL stock, etc



    SJ's already the owner of an allegedly plateless mercedes convertible, updating it less often than the PB, but keeping the new car smell



    SJ's hobbies include world leading computer animation and cartoon properties loaded with star talent and mutual ego worship



    SJ gets cooler toys ahead of the rest of us (he was under non-disclosure about the segway... wanna bet dean kamen gets the favour returned come 970 pre-seed lapzillas?).



    SJ has gizmo juju 2nd only to Woz among many idol worshipping technohistorians, and has been the poster child of the Anti-establishment (Wintel) for longer than Linux has been alive... Gates is loved/hated by many... SJ may be the 2nd most recognized face in computing (not counting Keanu)



    the cult of macintosh is widely documented and studied, inspiring modifications to hardware, software, wetware, and paradigms the planet over... including mulatta's fine hiney inked homage



    SJ is considered the progenitor of products that in reality draw from a team synergy of creative design and engineering artistries, yet his global travels have included enough acknowledged explorations of religion (for self discovery or pure curiousity) that will have demonstrated the prevalence of the "creator/prophet/messiah/confessor/saviour" myth to suggest the value of such an iCEO role



    SJ can likely buy most of the things he wants (except maybe faster production from Motorola), so the best birthday present should be something creative and unique... art, music, poetry, bon mots, good toasts and good spirits



    Happy Birthday Steve Jobs. &lt;blows kisses, raises glass&gt; Keep up the pace for the next 48!



    &lt;mi mi mi... ahem... everybody ready? where's our baritone... haaappy birthday to you...&gt;



    edit add

    p.s. also on this day in history... 1968. Cambridge University announces discovery of Pulsars.

    More cool blinkenlights.

    Yeah, I'll agree with you on the hockey game being way cooler. GO CANADA!!! I will also agree that Steve will never see these birthday messages, but you never know, he did mention scowering the rumor sites at MWSF '03. But I just figured I'd start a thread about it anyway.

    To one of my favorite people on the planet, Happy Birthday Steve!



    Let's hope he doesnt slow down with age, what do you say to at least 20 good more years at the helm?

    Hey, I didn't really mean that as a knock against the thread, filmmaker2002, but I guess it did come off that way...
