Is it just me or does Steve Jobs look like a cross between Steven Speilberg and Tom Cruise?


its just me.

The exit to the reality distortion field is marked by a 32 foot glass cube.

So you like the MacBook's screen? Is it better than the matte? I can't decide wether or not to get a glossy screen on my MBP or not. I'm probably going to the Apple store tomorrow though.

I like the glossy screen, I'll be happy to have it on my Macbook. If you will be using it in a place with tons of flourescent lights you might want to consider the matte but if you use it in a place with normal lighting (your house ) then go with the glossy

I still can't believe I met Steve. It hasn't set in yet.

My own pics

I have a few pictures of my own!!! Sorry I was too lazy to crop them!

People sitting outside

The cube looks cool in pictures, but when you go up close...wow

Spiral staircase...they actually have an official glass shiner for this, can you believe it?

While I didn't get to meet Steve Jobs, I found a wannabe!

Again, I apologize for being too damn lazy to crop!

Even Father Time was in on the action!
I know, I'm mean...

Whatchu gonna do with all those ports, all those ports inside that mac...(to the tune of black eyed peas)

Hourly Macbook Raffle announcement...I stayed for three hours and didn't win...

Finally, amisdt (sp?) all that immersion in technology, one could a much needed break at Central Park



The End

I tried but everyone was crowding around him. I was too nervous to say anything else too. It was like shaking hands with God.

I know this has probably been said before but Apple is a religion.
Steve is our god, Apple Store's are our church, the expo's are our pilgrimage and macs are our bibles.

Everyone was chanting "Steve, Steve, Steve!" so I desperately searched the streets of Fifth Avenue looking for him but he was nowhere to be found. There was tons of media coverage of the event.

Steve was REALLY there. He was closer to 59th Street though. My friend and I both saw him. I believe he was being interviewed by the press. That's when we decided to start chanting "Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!" to see if we can catch his attention

I was the 57th person in line, and I was wearing a white sweater... By any chance, did I meet any of you guys?

Kevin Bacon pics

The fourth picture in the Kevin Bacon post was Steve Jobs telling Kevin that we just got engaged . My fiancee can be seen holding up the camera right behing Kevins head. Steve is pointing his thumb at us. Kevin said that he highly recommends marriage. Steve and his wife wished us well. I can kind of be seen in some other pics and my fiancee can be seen looking worried in the last picture with James Woods.

Sorry to sound desperate, but...

I'm looking for lots of pictures of the cube. It's for a movie. I'm trying to get as many pictures as humanly possible (for effect).

If you want to participate your pictures, please send me an archive (ZIP) file of the pictures, as well as your name for credits, to unirrelevant@gmail.com .

The movie will most likely be featured at MacTV (watchmactv.com).

Thanks for your help.
