Comments Off on Banned Steve Jobs action figures going for $2500 on eBay
A little less than a month ago, the MIC Gadget store began selling a Steve Jobs action figure that was eerily spot on.

Comments Off on MarketWatch names Steve Jobs CEO of the decade
MarketWatch today announced that Apple CEO Steve Jobs is their CEO of the decade. An obvious choice, sure, but do you really want to trust a publication that thinks it’s a smart move to ask the dope otherwise known as Rob Enderle for his opinion? Adds Enderle: “[Jobs] is not somebody [who] any one of us would […]

Comments Off on Steve Jobs promises MobileMe will “get a lot better in 2011”
Now that “Find my iPhone” is a free feature for iOS users, forking over $99 a year for Apple’s MobileMe service is harder a sell than ever before.

Comments Off on Steve Jobs’ 1979 Business Card [Photo]
What you’re looking at below is a bona fide photo of Steve Jobs’ business card from 1979. I wonder what the good folks from American Psycho would think of it. A few observations: 1. Apparently he went by Steven back in the day 2. An obvious statement, but the lack of an email address is […]

Monday, November 29, 2010
What says “I’m an Apple nerd” more than owning your very own Steve Jobs action figure. Sporting Jobs’ trademark Levi jeans and black turtleneck, this figurine ignores no Jobsian detail and even nails Jobs’ hairline, facial stubble, and his New Balance 991 sneakers. The action figure was first put up for sale by the M.I.C […]

“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world?” So said a young Steve Jobs to Pepsi CEO John Sculley in 1983 in an effort to convince the then cola executive to take on CEO duties at Apple. At the time, Sculley was […]

Comments Off on $399 iPads showing up at T.J. Maxx; Jobs says they’re not authorized resellers
There’s some tomfoolery going on at T.J. Maxx these days. For some inexplicable reason, the clothing retailer is carrying the 16GB Wi-Fi iPad and selling it for only $399, $100 less than what you can find anywhere else. At this point it remains unclear how a) TJ Maxx is acquiring said iPads and b) how […]
