OK, as a photographic interpreter in a previous life, answer me this:
2. If it is still unapproved by FCC then, uhhhhhhhh, damn?
Steve Jobs has a history of not following FCC rules very carefully. (For those not in the know, one of the first collaborations between Jobs and Wozniak was a box that could help you make free long distance phone calls.)
Anyone want to chip in with me and buy Mr. Jobs a navy blue mock turtleneck? He needs some variety!
I dunno. It's mildly entertaining and much better than reading about how some people voted Apple the 7th bestest most admired company, or how some crappy market ranking website says Mac OS usage grew one 500th of a percentage point in January while Windows dropped one 500th of a percentage point in January, or how the BBC, Rhapsody, RQP, (insert any shitty company name here) plans to to TAKE ON AND DESTROY itunes with their own shitty service.
You overestimate his narcissism. Steve lives in an unpretentious home in Palo Alto. He goes jogging through the neighborhood without a security entourage. He sits in regular seats in his son's school auditorium. Back in the 1990's I met him at the local Fry's Electroinics, believe it or not. For all the bad press he gets, he's actually just your run-of-the-mill dad who just happens to be a passionate and formidable marketing genius and CEO.
This is true. I've actually exchanged emails with the guy.
He's still arrogant, but in a 'man of the people' kinda way. If you live in Palo Alto, there's a chance you'll run into him somewhere. I know folks who have (I live in Mountain View, one town over).
Hi, my name is wilco. I promise not to post images that denigrate against groups of people based on race, sex, sexual preference or religion from now on. Or I will be banned.
Also, Steve wore a brown turtleneck at his MacWorld Keynote address. I guess he was trying to look like a fuzzy Zoon.
But it looked black under the store's fluorescent lighting! Then he took it home and saw it was really a dark brown under sunlight or incandescent light, and he cursed under his breath. I can relate to such pitfalls when buying black clothes; Pavement really wasn't kidding with that lyrics about "40 different shades of black"...

Well, I'd argue that... of all the people I've met... he's one who has a right to be arrogant. After all, his baby had been going to Hell in a handbasket since he was fired by the guy he hired and, when he returned to mop up the mess, Apple's been flourishing. Honestly, the most arrogant man I've ever met was Bill Gates. If you're not among his elite circle, he assumes you're a servant of some sort.
Seven or eight years ago, a friend of mine, we'll call him George, was managing a landscaping crew for a friend of his, a former lady Sr. Exec at Apple, whom Mr. Gates was visiting for a few days in the town of Woodside, CA. When Gates arrived, he told George to carry his bags in for him. George, a temporarily (pre 9/11) undeployed active duty Special Forces commander (whose Medical officer was married to Bill's Hostess) told him to go f*ck himself and to carry his own luggage.

You know why AI reports those kinds of stories, including this one? Because if they didn't, we wouldn't have anything to read about and therefore argue over. AI wants to get people to there site daily, if not a few times a day. If they only reported new stuff every 2 or 3 days, they would be doomed.
Well OK then. So to absolutely no one's surprise, Steve is a regular guy with an above average phone and iPod with a regular family. Meanwhile the people who follow and treat him like a God can't believe that Steve isn't heavily guarded by Secret Service at every turn. You see that guy in the white hat standing next to the fence to Steve's left? Yeah, he's one of them.

A friend of mine was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge and saw a big Mercedes with the license plate PIXAR1. When she pulled up next to the car and looked over it was Steve Jobs...PICKING HIS NOSE! The man is just a human being like the rest of us(except he has a Reality Distortion Field and billions of dollars).

I can't barely make out anything aside from it does appear to be steve given the face, size of the man, the posture and what have you.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with a member of Apple's board (at a non-apple event).
I jokingly asked to see his iPhone.
He replied, "oh I would if I had one, only Steve does!"

I seem to remember reading something about Albert Einstein having a closet full
of identical suits, shirts, and ties. It was his thinking that he did not want to use
any brain bandwidth deciding what to wear every day. Maybe it is the same with
Steve, so please don't buy him more colors. We need him to keep using his brain
the way he has been.
Besides, the outfit is a requirement for generating RDF.
