For those who were watching the Xserve announcement video really closely, there's a little gem in there that fills any geek with glee. To quote Slashdot's summary:
In the recent 'Apple Introduces Xserve' video, an audience member asks two questions, the first regarding Apple's plans for licensing WebObjects, and the second a slam on Apple -- and a poorly aimed one, considering it focuses on slamming Apple's choice several years ago to license AIX for some of their early server offerings. Steve's response while the man is answering his question had me rolling on the floor practically in tears. To see it for yourself, take a look at the video and skip ahead to about 01:28:30 and watch from there. At 01:29:02, Steve makes a familiar gesture to push up his glasses -- glasses which by any account needed no adjustment.
"Mercurial", they call him. This is what he does at a press event. I can only imagine what it must be like to work for the man. (From what friends have told me, it's gruelling.)
I'll bet he's got one hell of a sense of humor, though.
