If you could meet Steve Jobs and talk for half an hour...

[iMacZealot]

What would you ask him, besides when the Santa Rosa iMacs are coming out?

(seriously, I want to hear serious questions, not "when is XXXXXX coming out???")

 

[bartelby]

I would ask him how his health is and where he sees computing in then next 10 - 20 years!!

 

[EricNau]

I'd ask him where he plans on taking the iTunes store. What is its future?

 

[JNB]

I would ask him to detail the product roadmap for the next three years, and promise to never, ever tell anyone! Really. No, I mean it! C'mon, Steve! We still have 29 minutes!! Where are you going?!?

Aww, poo...

 

[Father Jack]

I'd ask him "Where the feck is Leopard?"

 

[Xander562]

Can you buy me XXXXXXXXX.... Purrr-leaaaaase! *bambi-eyes*

 

[Blue Velvet]

I'd like to ask him how he sees his eventual retirement plans, who he thinks his eventual successor might be, and in what capacity he sees himself as part of the company over the next 10-20 years.

I would also like to know how Apple can grow without encountering too many teething problems and growing pains, what all those new buildings are for, how they plan to develop and strengthen their industrial design team, and how they go about planning the next big thing; the next 'iPhone' is in development right now.

Great ideas. His answer to where he sees technology would be really interesting.

I think I'd also ask him if your computer would turn into one, small device (like an iPhone) that did everything and hooked up to various televisions and displays.

the thought of apple without steve jobs (again) is frightening. i'm not sure who could deliver a keynote like steve, but i think scott forstall would do a good job.

It does feel very worrying. But I think Apple are in a much stronger and more stable position then the last time.

3 cans of XXXX weak aussie lager coming right up! Yeah I think he can afford that 'n.

I would ask him when iTunes in the UK will get movies.

iMacZealot: What would you ask him?

 

[Abstract]

"Steve, I've been dying to ask you this since I have been using Apple computers and products, and now, I finally have my chance..............Are you an innie or outie?"

 

[alexprice]

On second thoughts i'd ask...

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

[Lyle]

I'd ask him what he told bartleby and BlueVelvet during their turns.

 

[Queso]

would he like fries with that?

 

[dextertangocci]

What's it like being a billionaire

What's it like being the CEO of Apple

How does it feel getting all the products before us

Can you please send me a fully loaded Mac Pro

 

[iMacZealot]

iMacZealot: What would you ask him?

I'm afraid I might have to steal bartelby's question and ask him where technology will be in 10-20 years.

 

[Chrismcfall]

I'd talk about music He likes his Beatles/Dylan and so do i.

 

[b0tt094]

I'd ask him one thing: "Why?"
I'd just want to see how he'd react.

Why Not?


Everybody knows that since some student wrote it in an exam and got a medal or a chance to shake hands with some completely unheard of theologian who spends all day thinking of issues and not solving them.

I'd ask him 2 things.

1. What first inspired you and Woz to start up a company when IBM who were already a giant at the time were also in the market?
2. Can you fix my MacBook Pro (for the third time, screen still fades out and one of the internal speakers has gaffed itself up)?

 

[Blue Velvet]

I'd also ask him who he sees as Apple's most crucial strategic partnerships with other companies over the next 5-10 years, apart from Intel... given Microsoft's positioning and influence.

And also, speaking of Microsoft, what would Apple do or what plans have they made in the eventuality of Microsoft shelving Office for Mac?

Of course, I'm assuming that he'd spill the beans... me and Steve, we go way back.

 

[it5five]

I'd just ask him to load me up with Apple products for about 10 minutes, then let him get back to work. I'd imagine he's a busy person and 30 minutes is a large chunk of time to him.
