What would you say to/ask Steve Jobs if you met him face to face?

I'd take my UBMB and show him the ports
"Steve, look at it. You can't use the damn ports, they're too close together. And the damn display port adaptor doesn't work. You've gone too far in the cause of form, please, step back a bit and give function more of a chance"

I would ask why Apple stopped caring about quality control, function AND form and why they insist on taking options away from their customers.
Or perhaps I would simply state that it's a shame what's become of Apple since gaining more popularity.

Sack that english designer bloke, you know how designers can't stop bloody fiddling, he needs to stop.
Oh and fancy a pint?

What little I know of Jobs, I think you'll flummox him with both questions.
I actually think you'd have better chance of a pint with Schiller — if you throw in a couple of pies — or Gates…
He won't be able to understand the logic of that… why form should come second to function. If he does, then Macs would be far better designed.
And again. I think this is so far out of his frame of reference he'd probably not know what you were talking about.

Exactly right.
I read the first few responses, and scrolled to the bottom to hit reply and post what you've said word for word!
Whatever happened to manners!
Lol I love these ones !!!
I would just be happy to say hello, handshake and say I love his computers.
Exactly.
Since it is a purely hypothetical situation I dispensed with the bowing and scraping
^ Yup. That's how it works with these hypothetical meetings.
In reality if I saw Steve Jobs I'd probably think to myself "hey, there's Steve Jobs!" and carry on with my day. Which is pretty much how I've reacted to most "famous" sightings over the years. With the exception of Brad Pitt, who actually spoke to me. (yes, really.)

Really?
An opportunity to ask Steve Jobs questions and that is the only thing you would ask him?
I really wouldn't know where to start.
But I would surely start.
This. And I'd say "I know this is a rediculous question but you are Steve Jobs. I would absolutely love a MBA."
I am sure that someone who recently had a liver transplant would love to go out drinking with total strangers...

I would shake his hand ask how he is going, ask for a autograph and a photo tell him apple is kick ass and leave it at that!
