A good article. I thought it was about time someone reported on the Real Steve. He's just a guy, like any of us, and reading this, he seems like he's a guy a lot like me.  Save for the perfectionism streak, I can see a lot of myself in that.

Blunt, almost rude, no tolerance for foolishness/mediocrity/ignorance, and a desire for clear, straightforward design.

If Steve expects so much from those around him ... why are Ipod screens irreparably damaged when you touch them ? I think he should have demanded more.

He's a real firecracker, alright.  With the exception of the logic boards, Macs and OSX are the absolute highest quality you can get.

If your iPod breaks when you touch it, maybe there's something wrong with you.  My iPod is just fine.

Ok, whatever I don't care, but there's something fishy about apple, I can't tell what it is just yet.

Ok then, riddle me this batman, why did he bundle quicktime 7 with ITunes for Window$ 2000/XP ? I don't need or want Itunes, why combine them ? is there a logical reason behind this ?
