Бостон. Магазин "Apple". Позавчера.

Интересные воспоминания о Стиве Джобсе от Эрика Шмидта (бывшего CEO Google): "He had this extraordinary depth. I have a PhD in this area, and he was so charismatic he could convince me of things I didn’t actually believe. We’re in a meeting at NeXT, before Steve went back to Apple. I’ve got my chief scientist. After the meeting, we leave and try to unravel the argument to figure out where Steve was wrong—because he was obviously wrong. And we couldn’t do it. We’re standing in the parking lot. He sees us from his office, and he comes back out to argue with us some more. It was over a technical issue involving Objective C, a computer language. Why he would care about this was beyond me. I’ve never seen that kind of passion."

Джин Скули ("поколение пепси") в своих воспоминаниях о Джобсе забыл написать о том, как уволил его из компании. А так все вроде прекрасно было. "Dr. Land said, “I didn’t invent the Polaroid camera, it’s always existed, just waiting to be discovered.” Steve replied, “That’s right. I knew long before we built it exactly what the Mac was. It always existed. I never had to ask customers what they wanted."

И последний Ричард Сталлман (основоположник свободного программирования): "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing.
