Retired Intel Exec Speculates Steve Jobs Prerecorded Intro for Apple search engine

[ryansimmons323]

According to Robert X. Cringley, a retired Intel VP is speculating that Steve Jobs has "one more thing". He says that Apple has secretly developed a search engine competitor to Google called 'Found', and that Steve Jobs pre-recorded the introduction presentation before his death to be shown next year.

Certainly intriguing. I wouldn't mind some competition in search.
It would make Google better, too.

It was fortunate that Jobs had heard of an amazing Israeli scientist who developed an algorithm for search that would have the same effect on Google as Google had on Alta Vista using Page Ranking. The key thing was to keep the project hidden. This way if it failed, it would not make Apple look bad but if it succeeded, it would smash Google.

While these stories were not far from the truth, they lacked a few key elements – all of which were finally revealed publicly by Steve Jobs at a major event in Sept. 2015. Yes, I said Steve Jobs. This effort was so important to him that he pre-recorded the announcement before his death and instructed Tim Cook to use it.

Yeah I'm sure Steve Jobs figured out a better search algorithm than Brin/Page. Yeah.....

Just stop it already. Apple lost in cloud services and won in devices.

This would certainly be amazing if true.

I didn't know the cloud services war was over. Also, I didn't know there was a war.

It's true there was a war and Google won.

I hope Steve Jobs prerecorded in hologram format. I think he would have enjoyed doing that One Last Thing, frankly.
