I mean, come on. Love the guy's products or no, but as a dude Jobs was a total inscrutable cipher. Sort of like Howard Hughes had his OCD manifested itself as Machiavellian ambition.

Apple Store Robbery Interrupted by Jobs Mourners

Best part is the police report that mentions the store's "owner passed earlier this afternoon."

According to a person familiar with the matter, Isaacson last interviewed Jobs four weeks ago, right before, and right after he stepped down from his post as the CEO of Apple.Jobs indicated at that time that he knew he was going to die soon. The scene will appear at the end of the book.

I'm really interested to read that book because it look intrsting but also why because I wonder how much of the success was Jobs's personality vs right-place-time and context.
I mean, Jobs was exactly the same Jobs at NeXT, and made great products, but basically failed. If Apple hadn't also been failing harder and bought him to save themselves, he'd have gone under on that one.
Yet put the same guy back into Apple with basically the same vision and in under 15 years it was the world's biggest company.
He was obv a nightmare to work with, and only got away with it finally by being the boss *and* successful. I wonder what that type of guy would have been if he hadn't grown up when and where he did, perfectly positioned for the microcomputer boom.

NeXT had some gorgeous kit, all the same. The slab is lush.
Funny too how Ive needed Jobs to really get going: he'd already been at Apple for a few years and was about ready to quit when Jobs found him.

NeXT came as the workstation market was dying. He also learned to delegate while managing strongly.

George Lucas:
Star Wars creator George Lucas, whose relationship with Steve Jobs goes back decades, expressed his thoughts on Jobs’ passing Thursday. The former Apple co-founder died at 56 due to complications from pancreatic cancer."The magic of Steve was that while others simply accepted the status quo, he saw the true potential in everything he touched and never compromised on that vision. He leaves behind an incredible family and a legacy that will continue to speak to people for years to come,” Lucas said in a statement.

^^ i think the rule of thumb is that if it costs over $100 it's part of the US line but you still have to read every tag on the shoe itself to figure it out.
to add to the confusion, some shoes are partly stitched in the US or UK, sent to china, where different parts are stitched together, and then sent back to the US or UK for finishing.

Wired: What’s the biggest surprise this technology will deliver?
Jobs: The problem is I’m older now, I’m 40 years old, and this stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t.
Wired: That’s going to break people’s hearts.
Jobs: I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much — if at all.
These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that. But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important

the corollary to that is that things might change the world, but not influence life
