Steve Jobs tells IBM that Apple is #1 |
There actually is a little more to the story. Hertzfeld wrote a book in 2004 called Revolution in The Valley and his editor wanted the picture included in the book. Hertzfeld said he was to timid to seek permission from Jobs. Additionally, he notes that Apple was still buying processors from Big Blue for the Mac line.
While Steve Jobs is now gone, consider the amazing changes that have happened in the tech world since that picture was taken. IBM was the big global tech giant whose market cap dwarfed the value of Apple at that time by many times over. Now, Apple is one of the most valuable companies on the planet, worth much more than IBM. What will happen in the next 30 years?

That's the same gesture he made to the mother of his child when she asked for child support.

Good Riddance. That was the most selfish, money driven man ever.

unfortunately what Steve Jobs did was create a cult.
to those who actually know anything about computers knows that Apple is a proprietary piece of junk.
Have fun with your airport, your "nophone", and over priced computers. I give you props for your video editing capability, but your product is simply....junk
I dont wish death or pain upon any man and will be missed even tho I hate your products.
Making something easy doesnt make it a good product. Secondly, dont bite the hand that fed you Steve Jobs ;)

Interesting, go to Yahoo finance and do a stock chart performance comparison for the last year... IBM beat Apple still.
