From what I hear, SJ is very odd.CapnNismo wrote:
Kmar, where did you find that bit?
Jobs has always been a bit odd. Incredibly driven. But odd. One of the things that has made him such a player in the computer world, but I think one of the things that also maybe turned the board of directors against him way back when. I don't know all my history about Apple, so that could be totally wrong.

wtf. How are those patents? Can I patent the loop method for shoelace tying? Or, more likely applicable to Steve Jobs, using velcro to fasten shoes?Kmarion wrote:

Good apps as long as Apple thinks they're appropriate...jay_courage wrote:

I think we may have heard it in the same podcast ^^ Leo's too apologetic for Apple, imo, but I listen anyway because his voice is awesome. But, uh - Steve Jobs is a total douchebag who thinks way too highly of himself.Kmarion wrote:

Apple throws a tentrum, sues HTC for 20 patent violations
Although Multi-Touch should be the main patent violations, there are 20 other which Apple is suing HTC over (although the violations are made by Google’s Android OS). Why didn’t Apple go after Google? Deep Pockets. And though lawsuits can take years to resolve, Apple has also appealed to the International Trade Commission to prohibit importing HTC phones into the United States. And while they have every right to protect their patents, Leo believes this is anti-competitive and may result in backlash from consumers.
