by Mike Schramm (Mar 15th, 2012)

Throwboy's got a new pillow coming out soon, and as you can see above, it's in the shape of a plush Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs and the Mac team, photographed by Norman Seeff

by Mike Schramm (Nov 17th, 2011)

I really like these photos of Steve Jobs and the early Mac gang, taken by Norman Seeff. You may have seen one of them on the front cover of Time magazine, not to mention on the back cover of Jobs's recent biography. It's great how these photos show just how young and carefree Jobs and company ...

Well the one rumor that I thought was least likely (that the Beatles were a no go at this morning's event) turned out to be true. There is still no Beatles music available on the iTunes store, either in the WiFi store or otherwise. Not that Steve didn't taunt us. Over and over again, he threw down ...
