Steve Jobs has humor and looks cute

The latest interview conducted by The Wall Street Journal was pretty much interesting in terms of different presentation and views of the two big computer & digital business veterans.

As a new Macer, I personally like Steve very much, his sharp-looking appearance, his smart yet humorous response, his relaxed posture, his white sports shoes & seemingly shorter jeans, his passion/love/enthusiasm/pride of what he has been doing...

Oh, gosh, this guy doesn't look like 40 something!!!

The videos below are selective clips I personally like a lot! The quotes with * are not necessarily accurate word by word, but it is absolutely Steve's original idea!!



* we are where we are, yesterday doesn't matter, we invent tomorrow.
* when I wake up in the morning, wow, there's something exciting around the corner.



* what we do is kind of navigating through, make life more efficient.
* isn't a ship funny that leaks on the top?
* we are not one company trying to do everything; what we are trying to do is to deliver the best consumer experience, friendly GUI in a coherent product.
* it is hard for one company to do everything, we partner with people who are good at stuff.



Well, who can believe Steve is only 6 months older than Bill?!

I love Steve's humor when he was asked to describe the relationship between Apple and Microsoft. This is not an easy question considering both are strong competitors of each other, but it was so much entertaining moment that Steve came up with his humor "we keep married for secret". I just love it!



Snapshot for Bill:
Belief and love in software, software pulling him throughout his creative 20s, energetic 30s, mature 40s...

Snapshot for Steve:
luckily born in middle-class family, never care about money, land in what really loves to do, greatful to working with super great people, create something for people which are also really loved by himself...

Who has the future?
Increasingly creative powerful post-PC devices or PC with more integrated tremendous power?

The best answer might be, citing Steve's personal quote, "I don't know", * That's why we are so exciting about the future as we never know what our exploration will arrive at, that's what keep me working up to the morning.

Komoo: Chinese Twitter?!

Komoo is the clone of Twitter, and the news said it's getting very very popular in china (it just started early May this year)------it makes sense, as many chinese net citizens do like "gossip", and many chinese like send SMS. Lets see how it develops........

Super Pocoyo

Hooooo, Pocoyo, I'm loving it!

Welcom, Macer!

Today I got my first apple "gadget" MacBook, very exciting about it of course, but kind of nervous about the incoming trouble due to infamilarity of Mac usage. But overall very good feeling of being a Macer!

Today is a very good day, Apple just updated its MacBook today, and I got it today with the same price. Second, I got a lucky note from one Chinese restaurant which says some good things will happen 3 months from today which I hope is my future fantastic job offer :p Well enough of today.

I love San Francisco!

My "Tech Notes" from Master of Management in Telecom & Digital Business

1. Being a team player means: your work should always be "open sourced", your ideas should always be a "BETA version".

2. Never be over-optimistic. I'm so greatful to my wise decision that I didn't throw out the text book even when the accounting professor told us "no more cost accounting" in last term, as we now actually have two more financial/accounting courses this term using the same textbook---So...for people not that into accounting & financial stuff, better get over the fear, as we know in the real world, accountants are always sitting top of corporae hierarchy structure and you have to deal with them all the time.

3. It is true that being an early adopter means wasting money, while my observation from my peer tech guys tells me staying abreast with most advanced technolgy, you are actually making life easier and somehow eaning more time to get more money (to be proved :p).

4. Move fast. This is like the common strategy of many well-established incumbents in the telecommunication industry: if not able to lead a trend, at least, move fast enouth to be "involed in the trend" even if ROE is not clear. The underlying assumption is if you are not the first to cannibalize the potential market, someone else will be, which might lead to another story like Kodark---just reminince its strategy for digital camera.

5. Geeks are passionate engineers creating new widgets to get things done faster and easier. Geeks are well-structured people preferring numerical graphs and charts and tables with highlighted points. Comments from geeks are direct, tech details oriented of course, sometimes harsh, but that is for the sake of "problem solving".

6. There is no born smart guys (smart-looking? yes!)---They are performing extremely well because they are working much harder than you, they are task-oriented, they are very patient to make trials and tests and have failures before the ultimate version is done.

Way Back into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
