“I used to think that technology could help education. I’ve probably spearheaded giving away more computer equipment to schools than anybody else on the planet. But I’ve had to come to the inevitable conclusion that the problem is not one that technology can hope to solve. What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology. No amount of technology will make a dent. It’s a political problem.”
Steve Jobs | 1996 interview with Wired.com
“You don’t walk into the future by looking back.”
“In general, what employees do in their own time is their choice, but Apple states in its guides that:
The lines between public and private, and personal and professional are blurred in online social networks. Respect your audience and your co-workers. This includes not only the obvious (no ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, etc.) but also topics that may be considered offensive or inflammatory. In sum, use your best judgment.
It is unlikely a rant or two would cause deep damage to the Apple image, but without online restriction the brand could lose that sense of professionalism that inspires so many.”
“Sometimes a design can be so sleek and simple that a user finds it intimidating or unfriendly to navigate.”
“You’re probably familiar with a few of these ‘ladies’: the default voice on most GPS systems, the computer that guides you around your voicemail, Julie the Amtrak lady. These ‘women’ assist you in your planning, help you find what you’re looking for, and, in the case of the GPS, keep you calm when you’re lost. They perform, to put it bluntly, women’s work. They don’t need bodies to do it — they aren’t hot or sexy like the cultural trope of the steamy secretary — but they aren’t cunning either, like HAL 9000. They are brains without bodies, but also without minds of their own.”
