If you have college courses in CS, buy the books and spend day and night the few days before class going through the books and taking notes and answering questions and programming examples before the first class even starts. If you really want to do this in your life, that's what you should do, not just wait for the

I feel the overall need for data and computing devices increasing, especially as we move closer to a voice operated world with lots of video content. You are talking about consumer devices and I feel major steps at every stage that benefit users. We moved from 1D keyboards to 2D mouses long ago. Now we have touch

Solid State Storage, replacing hard disks with chips, in consumer devices and in the enterprise (data center servers, where most of the data and analysis takes place). Like with Blackberry phones, the HD's may stick around a while but the days are numbered, at least for the expensive fast ones in data center racks.

We do lose a lot in divorces, but my marriages were all worth it. I can't help because I've never been in your situation. I never had trouble getting a decent job, even right out of high school, because I was so good at engineering and computers. It's a shame you can't do a lot of online learning for Veterinary School.

I only play the original Gameboy Tetris. I buy cartridges on eBay when needed. I have had some stolen and lost. My kids got too good at newer games so I only focus on a few puzzle-like games to be good at them. I was always #1 in the Nintendo Power listings in 1988 and after they said my name had been in there too

Change the world because you want to. Don't judge it by money success. Don't expect success from the start. Go as far as you can making it perfect before you share it or seek funding. Have a working model or demonstration before you seek venture money. You could get funded and spend $100K on a video demonstration and

I have never used an illicit drug. I never spoke to Steve Jobs about drugs or heard from him about drugs even a single time. He never brought it up around me. I had many friends in my high school in Cupertino who used LSD (1966-1968) and many bright ones too but (a) I had many ways to have fun and (b) if it would

I did build stuff up until a point when I decided to hire a programmer for the major part of a universal remote control I was developing. These days I am very busy in the world trying to inspire young innovators and entrepreneurs and haven't the time for development. The last thing I did was a Segway key burner with

You might mean do I wish I still had control of some of Apple. I made a decision when we started the company that I didn't want any role running a company. I'm very non-political and non-social (at least I was) and just wanted to work in the laboratory creating technology with my own hands. It would likely have been a

Apple is a publicly owned company, meaning that stock and cash are exchangeable...my wife and I aren't stock traders but we have Apple and Fusion-io stocks only (I also work for Fusion-io). I don't care about owning Apple. After all I created Apple, at least the early Apple. I actually disdained money so it's not the

Thanks.

The first time it happened by accident. I put my green laser pointer into an inner pocket to have less metal on myself. They pulled my bag out of the X-Ray (flight from Perth to Sydney a couple of yours ago) and I expected them to say it had too much electronics. But instead they asked if I had a laser pointer. I

I didn't like it as much as my pure unlocked Galaxy Nexus at first but it's growing on me. I find it to be quite speedy (I don't turn on the power saving modes) and the display is good and I even have all my music on it thanks to a microSD card (32 GB). I like some of the Samsung apps but hate AT&T crapware every time

I'd still carry all 3 - 2 have unlimited international data (AT&T) and one is a Verizon iPhone in world mode. World mode plans from Verizon are reasonable and roll over so you don't wind up owing $20 per megabyte. Plus, the Verizon phone will work in all countries. You cannot buy any international plan from AT&T that

I have 2 AT&T iPhones with grandfathered plans for unlimited international data for $64 per month. I don't dare tamper with those for fear of losing the plans. I have another Verizon iPhone. I usually carry 2 iPhones in my pocket to cover situations where a battery runs down or I want to multitask. It sounds far out

Only one time did I put any gadgets in my checked bag. I had just bought 2 iPhone 4's when they were rare and was flying from Salt Lake City to Valencia, Spain, through JFK. I was so tired in Salt Lake City I didn't think and just put the new iPhones, still in shrink wrapped boxes, in my luggage. Mine was the only bag

On a few occasions they asked me to remove any electronics before putting my backpack through. I asked for a table on the side and 7 bins each time. I filled all 7 bins (single layer), plus my computer, plus my backpack. The separate bins did help in reorganizing things into the chosen compartments. By the way, this

I have minor back problems but not due to this. I've been carrying the heavy backpack for ages and probably adapted to it. I had a herniated disc most probably caused by lifting Segways by hand and some days I feel it in my lower spine, but my upper back has never had a problem unless it was a day I woke up with a

It's the Brenthaven backpack sold in Apple Stores when the 17" MacBook Pro first came out. It has many compartments. In some countries (Australia, Ecuador) have smuggled things past customs (green laser pointers) thanks to that, by placing the disallowed pointer in one pocket aligned the same as the other pointers

I dare you to hack my system. I will even you give you my IP address. 127.0.0.1. (I know you enjoy humor).
