The saddest part of this announcement is how many people will fall right into line as proper social media drones should. Even sadder is many of them will be the people that come to the forums and claim to recognize the evil that Facebook and Zuckerberg are.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

The other fool who sold it could have easily found a bigger fool who would have forked over $10k.

This is awesome. I'm surprised they are his, but then it makes sense as Jobs was - as we all know, one for design and artistry. His enjoyment of photography was probably why iPhone was so much better at photos than the competition after the 4.

It was Jobs’ interest in Calligraphy while at Reed college that resulted in the birth of desktop publishing, along with the invention of the laser printer.

Other than Jobs going to Reed, almost none of what you said is true.

Jobs had nothing to do with the invention of the laser printer. or the birth of desktop publishing. Pure fiction.

A gentleman named Gary Starkweather is universally credited as the inventor/leader of the Xerox team that invented the process. It happened at Xerox in the very late 60s/early 70s.

Desktop publishing was initiated in 1985 (were you born by then?} with the introduction of PageMaker software from Aldus. It did run on Macs and Apple's early printers were the means by which people were able to print when professional quality output was not required. If anything adoption of Adobe's postscript made it possible to  use  the Macintosh GUI and bring to individual users and small organization. By 1987 it ran on PCs. Without Pagemaker, Jobs development of laser printers for retail buyers would not have mattered until someone else developed similar software and it didn't take too long for that to happen. Adobe bought Aldus andiron after it was dead.

We all know Jobs place in the history of desktop and mobile computing and how his work and leadership opened up creative avenues for everyone, but please, stop slobbering over the ghost of Steve Jobs and making stuff up.

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ... Big surprise the plaintiff swinging so far.

"Former Apple Store manager ... 2010-2012". So almost 10 years ago the guy worked for Apple. The crime he is accused of has zero to do with Apple. And wow, the police searched his devices that happened to be Apple devices.

Kind if a typical media move to slot something in that barely has a connection to the actual topic.
