The funniest thing Steve Jobs ever said

Above: Don’t let anyone tell you Steve Jobs doesn’t have a sense of humor – after all, he did found his company on April 1st. Now, normally I like to think that Steve is an honest man, but listen to him stutter over that line… even HE can’t believe that particular line of bullshit.  Read More

Steve Jobs High School opening in Mexico

Faithful Mexican Macenstein reader Christian alerts us that a new Technical High School will be opening in the city of Joquicingo, and it is being named after Steve Jobs (whether he likes it or not). “In Joquicingo at Mexico State the state government built a new school called Steve Jobs… I wonder if the real Steve knows about it? The sign reads: mexico state gov ... Read More

“Computers are the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds” – Another Great Steve Quote

In the full context of what is being discussed here, Steve’s “Computers are the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds” actually makes a decent amount of sense. However, who the heck cares about context these days?!?! Somebody needs to take this piece of footage and slap it onto a compilation reel along with Steve’s “Scrolls like butter” comment,... Read More

The only thing nerdier than comic books is…

…Comic books about computer inventors! Being a nerd who is into both comic books and computer inventors, I don’t know how I missed out on this 1984 Japanese comic book about how Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computers. My only excuse is that I was about 4-years-old when it came out and roughly 8,900 miles away. Apparently, Jobs and Wozniak met when a fateful... Read More

“America’s Hat” getting iPhone tethering before America?

Rogers says iPhone customers can tether their iPhones starting in October… so how are they going to do it? There has been some speculation in the US as to whether or not AT&T will allow for a new iPhone data plan which allows for “tethering” laptops to the iPhone. Tethering allows iPhone users to share their internet connection via EDGE or 3G with their computers... Read More

Oh my God! Where the hell are Steve’s Pants!?

OK, I challenge you to watch this video and just try to tell me that at the 30 second point, life, as you knew it, has not been forever and irreparably changed. Yes, not many CEO’s would dare to get on stage in front of an large audience and talk about their company’s core values while wearing a black mock turtleneck and shorts, but somehow Steve manages to pull it... Read More

Finally, irrefutable video proof that Steve Jobs is healthy

Despite numerous press releases and insider reports claiming Apple’s CEO is doing just fine, the press just can’t seem to let go of the idea that Steve Jobs’ health might be suffering. In fact, it seems these days nothing short of Steve bending over to let the press conduct their own prostate exams will quiet these doomsaying Chicken Littles. Well, luckily for... Read More

Citation needed

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – you just can’t trust Wikipedia, kids. Faithful Macenstein reader Art Vandelay sent in the below shot taken from Steve Jobs’ bio (since corrected). See if you can spot the error: Early Years Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by Justin and Clara (née Hagopian) Jobs of Mountain View, Santa... Read More

Yikes.

Above: (Top) Steve delivering the Macworld Keynote in January. (Bottom) Steve delivering the WWDC Keynote in June. Wow. That’s a tough 5 months. Given Steve’s past bouts with the big “C”, is anyone else worried?  Read More

Oh… so THAT’s where Steve got the reality distortion field from

While Steve Jobs’ biological parents have been well documented, faithful Macesntein reader Marcelo Alves has come up with an interesting theory on the origin of Steve’s reality distortion field: Hi, (first, English isn’t my native language) Well, Albert Hofmann, the creator of LSD died today (102 years, died by a heart attack 🙁 ). Don’t you think he... Read More
