I don’t agree with many of Kahney’s comments but don’t kid yourself, the cult comments are not too far from the truth. I remember growing up in a time when people had Chicago Bulls, Dallas Cowboys and NY Rangers logos in the windows of their cars. Yet I see more white Apple stickers plastered all over cars when I drive to and from work than any sports team. I guess if Sony had included WALKMAN stickers with their cassette playing marvel of the 80’s……..Jobs’ 1984 Volvo 245 DL would be stylish.

I don’t know “Inside Steve’s Brain”, but I do know that Rob Enderle wrote it were a good book. Knowing Enderle (from reading) as a 100% reliable counter indicator (remember his praise of HD-DVD a few DAYS before it collapsed?), it is clear what a smelly load of crap that book must be.
For those who wonder why I read Enderle’s whatshamacallit, it is like watching the “black channel” on east-german tv before the wall came down in ‘89. It was pure propaganda aimed to convince east-germans that west-german tv were all propaganda. all very professional, not funny at all, but so perfect in turning everything upside down that it was like a sit-com.
A book from you, Daniel, would be well worth reading, but I’d agree you don’t need permission to write.

If Jobs needs more body fat, I’d be happy to volunteer as a donor.

And nobody said how sexy Daniel is??
Everybody knows that :
1. Mac user : gorgeous
2. PC user : ugly.

And fat people are the best CEO (in a PC world)…

Once again a really good article. Thanks!

What if Jobs has been on the tried and tested Pizza-Beer-Doughnut diet since last time he went on stage? He should come on stage portly and with a beard, just like Santa. Would that make Kahney happy? I mean, everybody knows that Ballmer replaced Gates as CEO because he is fatter. Fat people make for better CEO, obviously.

Oh come on Daniel. It could be worse. I will be 26 in about a month and my hair started to turn gray two years ago.

I read “Inside Steve’s Brain” and it’s not a very good book. There’s very little orignal thinking, are any real knowledge about Steve Jobs thinking. There are some amusing stories from Steve’s youth but the Folklore site is so much better for the occasional entertaing “Jobsism”.

Really Daniel, you SHOULD write a book. I know it would be awsome. I’d buy it and do my best to promote it to every geek in my country.

You’d be great at writing a book like that, and I’d personally love to read it. Why do you need Steve Jobs’ permission?

Incidentally, I snickered at Microsoft’s Windows 6 x3 in the last article, but the cover shot here’s kind of offensive to me.
