6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 4 – Osama Bin Laden
Filed under: 6 degrees of Steve, Games, Humor, Slow News Day
Steve Jobs enjoys a unique position among technology leaders in that he has strong ties to the entertainment industry as well. Because of these ties, we feel it may be possible to link Steve Jobs to almost every famous person in history (except, oddly enough, Kevin Bacon) through a series of past events. To test this theory (and pass the time on slow news days), we have created the 6 Degrees of Steve game.
Let’s play!
Alright, Round 4 is going to be tough ( I hope). Can anyone link the world’s most lovable CEO (that would be Jobs) to the most hated man in the world – Osama Bin Laden?
(Well, most hated in the US, anyway).
Remember, you have to do it in 6 steps or less. Points awarded for creativity and obscurity.
Good luck!
6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 3 – John F. Kennedy
Man, Apple better release a new MacBook or something soon. This dearth of Mac-news is killing me. In order to maintain my sanity, I have been counting how many times I can dribble this basketball in an hour, and then I try to break that record. But for those of you without basketballs to dribble, we have created the “6 degrees of Steve” game to help get you through this lull.
For round 3 of the tournament, we have decided to go political on your asses, and we are throwing out the name of none other than the 35th president of the US of A. You know who I’m talkin’ ’bout, people! Give it up for Mr. John… F… Kennedy!
(Ok, maybe this basketball isn’t working after all).
So, can you link Steve Jobs to JFK in 6 steps or less? (without using the film JFK as a step?).
Good luck!
6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 2 – Kato Kaelin
Filed under: 6 degrees of Steve, Games, Humor, Slow News Day
Ok, Round 1 was actually pretty successful, with some fairly creative solutions. Since things are still looking a bit bleak in the way of Mac news today, let’s bring on Round 2 of our new feature “6 Degrees of Steve“.
This round features everyone’s favorite non-Ito OJ trial celebrity (from the first OJ trial, that is), Kato Kaelin. Anyone out there have the ability to link him to the almighty Steve in 6 steps or less?
Good luck!
6 degrees of Steve Jobs: Round 1 – Bill Cosby
Filed under: 6 degrees of Steve, Games, Humor, Slow News Day
Today being a slow news day, we thought we’d introduce a new feature here and see how it plays out. Many of you are familiar with the party game “6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon” (well, those of you who have been to really lame parties are, anyway).
The point of the game is to try to link Kevin Bacon to another star in 6 steps or less, using their filmographies. We’d like to try something similar with Steve Jobs. Of course, since Steve isn’t an actor, the links may have to be a bit more tenuous and work related.
So, for instance, to link Steve Jobs to Kevin Bacon, you could go:
1) Steve Jobs founded Apple with Steve Wozniak
2) Steve Wozniak is (shudder) dating Kathy Griffin
3) Kathy Griffin was in the film Four Rooms with Marisa Tomei
4) Marisa Tomei was in the film Loverboy with Kevin Bacon.
There you go, four steps. Not bad. At least something good will come out of Woz’s relationship with Griffin (it will make this game a whole lot easier). Of course, the Pixar route is also a possibility, but we’ll give extra points to those who can do it without using Pixar or Griffin.
Round 1
The first name I am going to throw out there is Bill Cosby. Can you link Steve Jobs to Bill Cosby in 6 steps or less? Fewest Steps wins. Good luck!
