FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for November 10, 2011

A computer beat me at chess once, but it was no match for me at kick-boxing. ~ unknown

J-Note: for those for you who haven’t seen the Sunday edition of Fox Trot, Jason bid farewell to the i-Fruit.Many of the postings find it to be a tribute to Steve Jobs, pioneer of the personal computer revolution. The “i-Fruit” is a parody of the i-Mac, one of Job’s greatest achievements which saved Apple, Inc. from brink of corporate extinction.

Not so sure. Apple is more successful now than they’ve ever been, so I’m sure there’s somebody who’s been taking notes of what worked and what didn’t work, and what helped get them to where they are. Stever Jobs was brilliant and creative, but he didn’t have ALL the ideas, I’m sure. Apple will be okay, I think.

My computer hates me.It crashes randomly.

The probelm with interns and computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to do, not necessarily what you want them to do.

His name is Jonathan Ive, senior VP of design at Apple and possibly the highest paid employee there. He designed everything at Apple that begins with the letter “i.” He answers to no one but the CEO of Apple. He and Steve Jobs were like two halves of the same person, spurring each other on to greater design heights. Can he do it without Steve? I think maybe he can.

I can beat the CPU at chess and I am only 11 however I also can do a Rubik `s cube and I enjoy Shakespeare so I am not a normal 11 year old

Heh, you tell him, Roger.

[Snerk] Good one today!

the technology revolt. I swear one day all technology is going to take over and make us all slaves. Creepy isnt it?

I thought it had no floppy drive.
