H@ppy Friday. This week its, Joyeux Anniversaire, Feliz Cumpleaños, H@ppy day of birth, to businessman and innovator Steve Jobs. You may be typing on or screen-touching the fruits of his labors right now. As the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple Inc, the title alone is already telling of his significance, so we don’t need to add to the all-things obsession here. Instead, this Twitter roundup will focus on what Steve Jobs has added to the conversation of digit@l living with his own dialogue. Here are our favorite SJ quote@bles and our back-at-ya questions in response! |

"The products suck! There's no sex in them anymore!" [On Apple's product, just before his return BusinessWeek, 1997] Who wants sex anymore? Social networking is the new porn as the #1 web activity. "What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds" [Library of Congress 1991] But what about the poor bicycles? We can’t ride on a bicycle built for two if we’re dating online instead. "We believe it's the biggest advance in animation since Walt Disney started it all with the release of Snow White 50 years ago" [On Toy Story , Fortune 1995] Avatar anyone? "I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger" [On Bill Gates, NY Times 1997] So this is how the PC vs. Mac commercials started "I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates" [Newsweek, 2001] A return to the classics, huh? Maybe Joseph Wiezenbaum had a point! "You had me at scrolling" [On the iPhone features of the iPhone, Macworld '07] Was it love at first text? |

Twitter Roundup: Steve Job

steve jobs and sex?
i never really thought about "sex" in terms of "computer products" until the above mentioned quote, but it is so true! apple products have a certain sleekness to the design which reminds me of skinny human models (and apple sure does love making their products skinnier!)
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs is undoubtedly one of the most important names in the last decade. His technological developments have revolutionized the way we interact with online media and hardware like the mobile phone. He is certainly more creative than competing brands or companies. Maybe it was all the acid! It is respectable, but debatable whether he would truly give up all his technology to spend an afternoon with Socrates. Were he truly a Socratic scholar to that degree, he would likely spend more time thinking about world problems and less time developing iPads. However, to each their own. He is a very successful man.
Toy Story > Avatar
He is a bit full of himself
[as i understand it, a usual state with him]
