What would you do to see Steve Jobs?

Nothing, i almost can't stand him, i only watch though keynotes to see product debuts. If he says fantastic or awesome in another keynote i am going seriously consider aligning the sight on my rifle.

Please don't ban me for this, but it's how i feel

You never know. I'm sure there was a time where I thought I'd never meet Max Weinberg, but I did :D Which reminds me, I need to go post in the "what famous people have you met" thread!

Steve doesn't fit that definition?

Can you say reality distortion field?!?!?!?!

Just teasing :)

To be honest, Apple the company does (TO AN EXTENT), but that's with the help of lots of gifted individuals like Woz, Jonathan Ive, Avie Tevanian, Andy Hertzfeld, Burrell Smith, Jef Raskin, et al. Steve alone is not worthy of that definition because frankly, he was essentially an ******-ish and unbelievably charming, charismatic and sometimes horrendously hotheaded dude with a talent for choosing people and making them work together, the ideal combination that would help him rise to success.

Really. Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but in reality Jobs is more like a figurehead for the actual group of less-charismatic people who actually did have the technical genius to make Apple succeed.

it irks me, what some people believe Jobs did.

Yes, he was important to Apple. But not in a technical way. His efforts should be appreciated, but he has never personally worked on something significant in terms of an actual product at Apple. Sure, he has some say in what happens and such, but in the end, everyone else does it all.

Steve Jobs is nothing without the rest of the company.
 
I'd shake his hand if introduced to him, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to meet him. So he had something to do with the computer I'm using now. Big ****ing deal.

Agreed.
 
i would totally walk right up to him and say "hello"

that aint no crap neither...:rolleyes:

i am not sure what i would expect from him if he knew i were willing to kill to see him...i mean, that would freak me out...

that being said, i would very much like to meet steve, at the very least his speeches are motivational, so you have to imagine that he is an effective leader on a daily basis.
 
I'd eat brown rice and carrots for a year. I'd switch to soy milk. I think he's a cool guy with great ideas and I'm so glad he came back to Apple. :cool:
 
Steve is a great leader with a vision to bring people a great computing experience.

He showed more then once that he has the ability to lead a company from nothing/almost nothing to success. That is not done by knowing exactly how every little detail of some hardware/software works. But rather having an idea and realizing it by using the correct resources for any given task.

If I had the opportunity to meet Steve and chat a little about business I would take it. I'm not crazy about it nor would I do anything special.

ooo, that sounds delicious!

What kind of soy milk?

Chocolate soy milk is so good... It makes awesome coco!

I may have to have brown rice and carrots for lunch now!

not always did apple have great products.

And I'm not sure I'd agree with how you describe Steve Jobs's second coming to Apple. Yes, he brought the company back from a slump, but before all that, he had hired the biggest moron (John Sculley) who did the stupidest things ever to the company and (if i remember correctly) Jobs was still chairman of Apple the whole time, which would mean he was there when the Board of Directors fired Sculley and hired more idiots (Michael Spindler, who was forced to quit by his doctor, which led to the hiring of Gil Amelio, who got kicked out when Apple bought NeXT and Steve Jobs came back)

And frankly, I think most people can agree, Apple would be nowhere near where it is right now if it wasn't for the success of iPod and iTunes. But before people went all crazy over those two, it was just another MP3 player and just another music playing app. And someday they won't be so popular. But if it wasn't for the people who actually did all the hard work, what would Apple be right now?

Plus, he steps on people to get to where he needs to go. Including some of the people that put in a significant amount of work into what made Apple the company it is now. So me, I'd much honestly go out of my way to meet someone else (like the technical geniuses), but with Jobs i'd only do it if it wasn't much of a hassle.
 
I would consider donating body parts.
Tattoo myself with anti-Microsoft slogans
Destroy multiple PCs
Quiate a lot, within reasons to meet Mr Jobs
