Random Site Quote:

On a soft november day in northern california, steve jobs is guiding his gray Porsche convertible out of San Francisco, and he is talking about Apple Computer Inc. That, of course, is what Jobs is famous for: as a co-founder of Apple in 1976, he was a leader of the computer revolution, until he was ousted in 1985 in a board-room coup. Jobs was 30, and he walked away with $150 million but no small measure of hurt. As he negotiates the Friday afternoon traffic on Route 101, Jobs keeps insisting that he does not want to talk about Apple. Then he goes on at length about how the company needs to reinvent itself, how it needs to regain its lost mantle as the personal computer industry's leading innovator. He is intimate but elusive, and undeniably articulate. He recalls his years at Apple fondly, then makes it clear that he is doing nothing more than reminiscing. After all, he has other things to worry about, like running Pixar, the digital-animation studio that created ''Toy Story,'' and overseeing Next, the computer-software company he started when he left Apple.
