Steve Jobs doll is back – to kick ASS!!

When I saw last month’s limited edition Steve Jobs Action figure from MICGagdet (which Apple subsequently had pulled), I have to admit it was probably one of the coolest things I had ever seen. Well, apparently not scared of Apple Legal, M.I.C. Gadget is back, and they have done the impossible by upping the coolness factor even higher by releasing their new Pineapple CEO... Read More

Steve Jobs on Medical Leave

According to Cult of Mac, Jobs sent the following message to staff this morning: “Team, At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health.

Steve Jobs worshiped as a God in India

Remember Steve Jobs’ infamous 1976-ish trip to India, during which he became a Buddhist? Well, looks like he left just a big impression on India as India did on him.

Apple owes Steve Jobs 38 years in back salary – but can’t find him?

From the WTF department: Gawker reports that for reasons unknown (and we’re DYING to know them), Apple has turned over the job of delivering an “unpaid debt” of $37.91, owed to Steve Jobs, to the State of California’s Unclaimed Property program. Apparently they can’t locate him on their own? Given Steve Jobs only makes $1 a year from Apple, that... Read More

Steve Jobs, man of action, is now an action figure

Well, I don’t know if I would cal this an “action figure”, as it is incapable of action/movement, but damn, this $80 Steve Jobs Action Figure from M.I.C. is amazingly detailed. I mean seriously, check out those shoes! If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift for me an Apple geek, this is probably the only sure-fire hit out there right now, aside... Read More

New site asks, “Where’s Jobs?”

Much like Wonder Woman, Steve Jobs and his invisible jet could be virtually anywhere in the world right now. The question is, where? Well, one site dares to try to supply that answer, or at least have some fun trying. Behold, Where’s Jobs? Yes, Waldo’s got nothing on Steve. Whether it’s the Beijing Airport, the 5th Ave Apple Store, an anti-Vietnam War protest... Read More

Apparently that Steve Jobs Ninja story was true after all
