Steve Jobs Reportedly Barred From Bringing Ninja Stars on Private Plane in Japan

[617arg]

this story is GREAT!

Bladed weapons on a plane are a no-no, Steve. Could have checked them in your luggage.

This really makes me miss good old "As the Apple Turns" even more — Jack Miller would have mined this for all the comedy gold in there. After all, he did have a running gag about Apple's black-clad ninja warriors attacking rumor sites.

Yeah, AtAT was great...hopefully Fake Steve Jobs will come up with something good.

 

[Full of Win]

I thought he preferred guns to bladed weapons. Guess times have changed since the Gizmodo actions from a few months ago.

Security Theatre isn't about safety. If you really think some terrorist is going to takeover a commercial plane with a couple of throwing stars, maybe you should watch less TV.

Yes, terrorists would use box cutters instead.

Hahahahahaha

 

[Peace]

Seems they were talking about a different person.

I wonder if he has a Hanzo sword.

The ever-present black mock....
It all makes sense now.

He should have used the force:

Obi-Jobs: "These are not the throwing stars you are looking for."

Storm Trooper: "These are not the throwing stars we are looking for."

This is Page 2 crap! Why the hell did I read this?

 

[Oneness]

I guess the 'reality distortion field' doesn't work on Japanese security officers.

LOL are you seriuos? These example doesn't fit. You know what you're buying, nobody forcing you to do anything. o you want a completely free mobile device? No app moderation? Enjoy your patethic andriod store and experience the chaos! You are free, don't try to sound as poor slave forced to do something.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuum....I have an iPhone 3GS.

Thanks for the rant and hope your blood pressure drops.

Star Wars reference?

I thought this was from The Onion or something when I first saw the headline, but no, it's real!

I can imagine Steve sitting in his office holding these, saying, "OK, now which one of you was responsible for testing the iPhone 4?"

 

[RalfTheDog]

Isn't that one of the reasons to accumulate wealth and power in the first place?

The only reason for wealth and power is strip bars. Everything else is an excuse.

Is it real?

Apple say it wasn't Jobs.

Something is seriously wrong with Jobs, he totally lost it. The first sign was hiring girly boy Jonny Ive and his non-functioning designs.

Now Jobs has ninja stars? What, is he is 3rd grade? His kids are probably completely spoiled morons.

Yeah, you gotta be really rich to have a pocket full of dollar bills.

This is the dumbest thing I ever read.

 

[RalfTheDog]

When I sneak swords and stuff out of Japan, I just ship it back to myself UPS. My guess is, he needed them fast for a "special project".

Note to self:

When turning a hack job reporter into a hack job reporter and I don't have time to get the Japanese knives, use domestic blades.

The story isn't true and Ive had been working at Apple for 5 years before Jobs returned.
