if that's a real picture and he is as sick as he seems I have no doubt he would just want to be physically comfortable at this point. but I think that picture is a little suspicious

pic is more than a little suspicious. it's def. been shopped and i can't figure out why they'd want to do what they did.

Before Apple, the hard truth was that the "inmates ran the asylum," in that products were typically designed by engineers to satisfy their own needs, as opposed to those of the actual consumers of the products.Moreover, products were designed and marketed according to their "speeds and feeds," checklists of attributes over well-chiseled, highly-crafted outcomes. And it didn't really matter if at each step along the value chain the consumer was disrespected and disregarded.Ponder for a moment the predecessor to the Apple Store, CompUSA, and what that experience was like versus the new bar for customer service being set by Apple.

the other thing about that jobs picture that is suspicious is the idea that a frail, on the verge of death steve jobs would just be hanging around outside posing for pictures in his black skirt or w/e -- dude is one of the most secretive guys on the planet

sometimes "engineers" and "actual consumers" are one and the same, and things like quantum mechanics and the space program and the internet happen. this goes all the way back to fourier and the first engineers.
at the opposite end of the extreme, the two groups have little overlap. that's what you call a "service industry" and unlike "real industry" it doesn't do a whole lot for the long-term prospects of the country.

i'm not a "science guy", hoos, i'm a "civil servant", and thus a strict utilitarian
That is why even though this moment was long anticipated, and while I know that Steve isn't gone (and hopefully won't be anytime soon), yesterday's announcement nonetheless feels like a "Kennedy" or "Lennon" moment, where you'll remember "where you were when ..."
haha wut

― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
no, a strict rationalist wouldn't call philosophy "self-indulgent."

but really i think this is the pivotal sentence for me
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
what i am getting at is that in general, people can tell the difference between an article on lee iacocca and an article on john galliano, an article on jay z and an article on warren buffet. i think that steve jobs sort of muddles all of those parts together, and what disturbs me is the uncritical celebration of all of them equally, as if they're all the same thing.
