Steve Jobs

Quotes: « Andy Hertzfeld: We're not a pit crew at Daytona. This can't be fixed in seconds. » « Steve Jobs: You didn't have seconds, you had three weeks. The universe was created in a third of that time. » « Andy Hertzfeld: Well, someday you'll have to tell us how you did it. » « Steve Wozniak: It's not binary. You can be decent and gifted at the same time. » « Steve Wozniak: I was angry. You were saying things about the Apple II, and the way you were treating the team… » « Steve Jobs: Woz, you get a free pass for life. I gotta get back on stage; we got like, two minutes of rehearsal time left. » « Steve Wozniak: Do you understand how condescending that just was? Maybe you don't… » « Steve Jobs: I don't wanna see you get dragged off… » « Steve Wozniak: I get a free pass for life from you? You give out the passes? You give them to me? » « Steve Jobs: You're gonna have a stroke, little buddy. » « Steve Wozniak: What did you do? What did you do? Why has Lisa not heard of me? » « Steve Jobs: How many fourth graders have heard of you? » « Steve Wozniak: You can't write code… you're not an engineer… you're not a designer… you can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board. The graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Parc. Jef Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project! Someone else designed the box! So how come ten times in a day, I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do? » « Steve Jobs: I play the orchestra, and you're a good musician. You sit right there and you're the best in your row. » « Steve Wozniak: I came here to clear the air. Do you know why I came here? » « Steve Jobs: Didn't you just answer that? » « Steve Wozniak: I came here 'cause you're gonna get killed. Your computer's gonna fail. You got a college and university advisory board telling you they need a powerful work station for two to three thousand. You priced NeXT at sixty-five hundred, and that doesn't include the optional three thousand dollar hardrive which people will discover isn't optional, because the optical disk is too weak to do anything, and the twenty-five hundred dollar laser printer brings the total to twelve thousand dollars, and in the entire world you are the only person that cares that it's housed in a perfect cube. You're gonna get killed. And I came here to stand next to you while that happens 'cause that's what friends do… that's what men do. I don't need your pass. We go back, so don't talk to me like I'm other people. I'm the only one that knows that this guy here is someone you invented. I'm standing by you because that perfect cube – that does nothing – is about to be the single biggest failure in the history of personal computing. » « Steve Jobs: Tell me something else I don't know. »
