Flickr Find: You've been Steve'd!

When Flickr user jpegsrock returned from a few days out of the office, he discovered that someone else had taken over his desk while he was gone -- Steve Jobs.

It's an unwritten rule among his co-workers that something is done to their cubes if they're going to be out of the office for awhile, and the prank they settled on for jpegsrock was hanging up portraits of Steve on every available surface. Why? Jpegsrock told me that he is the unofficial Apple spokesperson for his office and his colleagues figured this would be an appropriate homage. As another TUAW writer who saw the gallery commented, it's fantastic, but a bit creepy. And yes, it even got a little creepy for jpegsrock as people from around the company dropped by his cube to check out the display.

Oh my God, I didn't mean to say that to yours, I meant to say it to the Steve Jobs one.

This is way old news released on iPhone Savior back in June of 08. TUAW must be lurking for anything they can find to add some spice now that Jobs is sidelined. http://www.iphonesavior.com/2008/06/mac-head-surviv.html

Now if you truly believe that apple doesnt make quality products then head on over to engadget and hang with all the apple haters there.

As an owner of multiple Apple products and as a former Quality Engineer, I can assert truthfully and with complete certainty, that Apple really *DOES NOT* give two shits about quality.

Do they care about Design? Yes.
Marketing? HELL YES!
Quality? Oh, HELL NO.
