| 510179 | 2007-01-03 03:27:00 | 3rd party case not made by Apple. On another note why doesn't Office come for FREE when you buy Windows? ;) After all MS makes BOTH. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 510180 | 2007-01-03 03:57:00 | Quite a sad story behind breakout.:confused: When Steve Jobs worked at Atari, the company was working on creating the arcade game Breakout, which required 80 Integrated Circuits (ICs). The less ICs there were, the cheaper the games would be to produce, so Nolan Bushnell (Atari's president) offered $100 for every IC that could be knocked out of the design. Jobs brought Woz the challenge, and over four days and nights at Atari they put together a design that only required 30 ICs. Bushnell gave Jobs his $5000 bonus, which Jobs "split" with Wozniak by telling him it was a $700 bonus, giving him "half," or $350. Woz was delighted, but years later found out the truth. And cried. www.rotten.com My memory was a bit off. I thought that he made breakout for the original apple computer. |

Something tells me that Steve Jobs personality must be very much like that of House. He is brilliant but can tend to have the personality of a fish although his wife would probably say differently. Interestingly enough one of the main differences between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (amoung other things) is that Bill Gates can read and write code- Steve Jobs can't so Bill Gates while being a very bright intellectual will have a vastly different approach to using and designing a GUI compared to Steve Jobs (who actually grabbed the original Mac GUI design off of Jeff Raskin who was designing it at the time). en.wikipedia.org |
