If you could say just one thing to Steve Jobs...

[IJ Reilly]

Video streaming. Mac ads. Both good questions. Thanks for asking. But my tofu is starting to get runny, so I'm outta here.

Any more questions before I hit the parking lot?

Oooh! Oooh! Steve! When are you going to license OSX to Dell or HP? You wouldn't even have to let them sell many computers -- just enough to get people who'd never buy an Mac from Apple comfortable with the idea... the markets would love it! No risk! All upside potential! Steve? Steve..?

Great idea for a thread, i wonder how much if any of the stuff we post on this forum ever makes it way in any form into decision making at Apple?

well the last time i felt it necessary to email him, i was bitching about apple's lawsuits against online journalism, how it would tarnish the brand and make people unhappy. Then the whole Rovegate thing happened, made Apple look like the UCLA. i'm sure he loves it when people like me take issue with his corporate management style, but oh well, that's what happens when you lead a cult

When can I have YOUR JOB? Jobs.

Read my signature...

I'd ask to shake his hand and wish him and his family all the best.

We already know enough about Apple anyway. I'd rather come across as a nice guy to an idol of mine as opposed to acting like an overexcited moron.

Put in the next powermac/powerbook.

 

[puckhead193]

"will we see powerbook G5 next tuesday or a video ipod or an Itunes cellphone"

 

[iPoster]

Say Steve, want to know how to switch more Windoze users? One word:


Frame-rate!

An american who can't spell English fluently?! Embarass!


Oh anyway, I would propably tell him to go and read some rumoursites. Then I would question his decision to go Intel. Then I would invite him to join some grill party here in Finland, where sausages are good. No wonder he is vegetarian, Amerigan sausages taste like sh*t.

"Guess Titanium and paint don't mix too well together, huh? It's called BETA TESTING. Try it sometime."
"How about making some AC adapters that don't fray every 2 years?"
"Nice job on those dud iBook logic boards."
"Can you make the PowerBooks run ANY HOTTER?"
"Not all Mac users out there are on OS X there, my friend. Just thought I'd mention that to you."
"So, what kind of Mac are you using?"

and last but certainly NOT least ...

"BRING BACK THE NEWTON YOU #$%$&)(!"#$)&%$=!(#"%$#"

 

[runplaysleeprun]

"I've got some eggs here. the powerbook is in the car. i was going to make an omelet on my way home."

 

[GFLPraxis]

"Can I have a job at Apple? Pretty please?"

Alternatively,
"Give me that PowerBook G5!"

 

[ReanimationLP]

"Hey Buddy, oh, buddy, oh pal, can you possibly send me one of those G5s? "

and "OSX on Intel. You better come up with some damn good way to keep it off of non Macs, because people are getting close with the beta version."

 

[SpaceMagic]

You lot go on as if he is your idol, your god, your man. Shoot, he's just a business guy. Just a very good business guy. In all honesty, I wouldn't go weak at the knees, I wouldn't stutter, I'd just express my appreciation towards his and his colleagues term at Apple and the quality products which they're released.

Although, the "Man, aren't you Bill Gates?!" comment has to be the best so far

[homerjward]

An american who can't spell English fluently?! Embarass!

embarrass
not that it really matters

i'd probably say something like "what sort of mac do you use?" or "can i have a free ipod if i carry your groceries out? " or perhaps "you should really check out this place called macrumors."

 

[iGary]

My iPod is always with me, I'd find a freaking Sharpie™ real quick, and then I'd probably, Christ, I'd freak out.
