I geeked out yesterday. I'm an iPhone owner. I spent about 6 hours last night playing around with it. I've resisted the crack-berry addiction so far. But I became a iTunes addict about 2 years ago...so the iPhone was a natural lust for me. So I can't really compare it to blackberry, but I can say that this phone is incredible. So ingenious, and the texting features is like nothing ever developed before, the dialogue works like a comic strip in a way; and the keypad actually works quite well...I've had no trouble with it. But the merging of music, movies, email, voicemail, etc, etc. is really very close to all they hype. I'm impressed... Anyway, have a GREAT weekend... Jeff Hey there, Joe.

"Thank you, I am sorry, Please Forgive me, I love you." "His only identifiable flop? NEXT computing." It is interesting what people class as failure. NeXT was purchased by Apple in 1996 for $400 million dollars. The software that NeXT introduced to Apple resulted in Mac OSX, which is found today on all Apple Computers and inclusively is the operating system of the new iPhone. I hope that my next (pun intended) identifiable failure has the same results. NeXT introduced to Steve Jobs the life lessons that he needed and a path back to Apple, where in 1996 he returned to the Board of Directors, followed to become iCEO, before settling into his role of CEO and ultimately offering leadership to the staff that created and changed our worlds with iMacs, iTunes, iPods and the likes. Steve I am sure has had his fair share of flops (I am not the only one old enough to remember the Lisa, right?), but it is fun to debate whether these are flops. That which does not kill us, only makes us stronger. Recently I watched an interview with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Both were asked what do they most admire of one another towards the end of the interview. It is humbling to watch smart people candidly admit to traits they admire and somewhat not posses. The response from both is admirable. By the way, David, I am not having a go at you as I can see you posted an interesting question. I just felt impulsed to comment. Now to Joe, did you hear how Disney Pixar has had the audacity to release their new movie Ratatouilee on the same day as the iPhone? The launch of your book taking away the limelight of both Steve's babies on the same day would have made Steve a little more than just mad.
