Steve Jobs, Polishing his Apple

Great story about Steve Jobs in today's business section of The New York Times titled, "Oh, Yeah, He Also Sells Computers: How Steven Jobs is Shaping a New Apple."

To some people in the industry, Mr. Jobs, of late, has even outshone his old nemesis, Bill Gates of Microsoft -- not in market share, of course, but in innovation. "Both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs arrived with the idea of digitizing the world, but Gates has lost his way," said George F. Colony, the chief executive of Forrester Research, a computer industry consulting firm. "Despite all of his warts, Jobs has kept the dream alive, whether it's movies, music or photos. I call him the digitizer."

In Silicon Valley, where speculation about what Mr. Jobs may do next is a favorite spectator sport, the betting is that the company is preparing to introduce such an effort in July at its World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Hey Oz, any plans to blog from the conference?

You betcha. I am just watching the $AU fall at the moment while I work out the sequence of events (buy new powerbook then fly to the US, fly to the US, buy new powerbook) and my flights (decisions, decisions). Whatever, even if I end up using my Newton, there will be some sort of blogging. Note that I recently did a live blogging test (only moderately successful from my perspective) using the standard MT tools. I will be trying another test using NNW soon.

I just reloaded this page (to see if there were any followup comments) and the colours changed. The text went from black to blue and the headings turned green. Are you playing with your css template as I write?

Nope. I changed it this morning. :-)
