"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Jobs used an expletive to describe Android and Google Docs, Google's Internet-based word processing program. In a subsequent meeting with Schmidt at a Palo Alto, Calif., cafe, Jobs told Schmidt that he wasn't interested in settling the lawsuit, the book says.
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."

'Apple surprises with rare earnings miss'
http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/…'It's the first time the company missed expectations for earnings per share since 2004. Analysts were expecting as many as 22 million iPhone units to be sold. Instead, the company shipped 17.1 million units in the quarter.'
Well, duh ... it's a recession and people are fucking skint. They can't afford to splurge on iPhones and iPads.
- This is so lame. They missed the earnings by a small percent, and it's just some lame prediction anyway.monospaced
- Did nobody notice they sold more phones than anyone has ever done this quarter? Still breaking records.monospaced
- They literally sold over 4 million new phones just this last weekend.monospaced
- You have a boner... ;)DrBombay

In a Private Light: Diana Walker’s Photos of Steve Jobs
I first met Steve Jobs on a photo shoot for TIME in 1982. I had no idea that he was going to be my friend or that he was going to be this incredible genius — a part of all our lives, in what we do and what we see. He was speaking to a group of Stanford students in a dorm living room, and it was hard to photograph him there and not be in the way. You had to have light, and I was creeping around. But he was game. I asked him to stand on top of an Apple sign, and he did it. I asked him to stand in front of an Apple cutout (which ended up on the cover of Fortune magazine), and he did that too. I thought, This is you. This is who you are.
He was so much fun because he was so quick — he was such a fast study. You showed him anything and he could get it in a second. I was always fascinated by his design sense. It was wonderful because he liked my pictures.
I really will miss his inventiveness, his ideas, his eyes — and how bright he was all over. He had some kind of electricity about him. He was very, very focused in the office. He demanded a lot of the people who worked for him. I’m sure Steve wasn’t the easiest person to work for, but what a fascinating person to work for.
Diana Walker was TIME’s White House photographer for 20 years, where she captured intimate moments with five Presidents.

Steve Jobs Memorial Held
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB…Executives from throughout the technology and media industries were expected to attend.
A walkway in front of the church, which sits near a sculpture garden, was illuminated with small white lights. The weather was crisp and cool, and guests were served hors d'oeuvres in a clearing adjacent to the church.
The service was expected to be followed by a reception on campus, according to invitees.
