That's why I haven't left my house since 1996!

I know. That photo ruined my day.

MGH said that? I'm disappointed. They're usually better than to pull something like that.

I don't think it would have gone to market. It would have been one of those things Apple shot down that we never hear about. I don't think the technology in portables was good enough for Steve's standards at that point — keep in mind Apple had only done its first portable computer a few years before. I don't think…

Some were nice, but I know what you mean. They were a bit cartoony. But, they were different, and pretty in a way. They just weren't as streamlined as today's Apple products. But the Cube, to me, stands out as better than the rest. It didn't have that weird curvy look of the PowerMac of its era.

I agree. It was beautiful. If you look at it as just a sculpture, it's really nice. It's a shame it was flawed.

But the thing about the Alto, brilliant as it was, is that Xerox was too stupid to put it out. That's what is special about Apple: they knew when they had a hit on their hands.

Each one of Apple's major computers, I'd argue, is equally important. They're all one, in a way, just new revisions of "The Apple Computer" Apple I, Apple II, Macintosh, iPad.

I figured he was retired already.

Monday morning, Apple executive meeting:

Agreed. I saw it, and it depressed me. It sad that someone would try to capitalize off of human suffering. That's one thing. But the photo itself is something else: the best reminder I've ever seen that life owes you nothing. No matter how much you contribute, you can be struck down. It really isn't fair, but that's…

I'm torn. He's right, but he's usually a jackass moron.

Here's why that's different: Apple's competitors have made Flash a headlining feature. Apple couldn't hide a toggle for something like that in the settings, people would want it if they could get it. But they shouldn't get it, I'm convinced it's useless. I'd rather Apple put their weight behind usable technologies to…

Shiboe's point remains valid. Let's be realistic: openly gay people in our society face hardships. That is certainly becoming less true as time progresses, but it's a fact that homosexuals are one of the groups most commonly discriminated against. The fact that the new CEO of one of the world's most powerful companies…

That rainbow at the end was borderline offensive.

I like the idea of him sending in that resignation letter, then leaning back in his chair, going "FINALLY!" and taking his pants off. "I'm so sick of that goddamn pair of jeans!"

It's hitting Florida, then going over the ocean to North Carolina, and continuing north on land from there.

"Experts say there's a small chance that Irene will still be a hurricane when it hits Manhattan, and that it will likely have been demoted to a tropical storm by then. If that eases your mind, it shouldn't."

As a matter of fact, the heavier ones have two
