So Steve Jobs died yesterday, and, Apple-hater that I am, I've been conspicuously quiet. Now, I could dredge up the time Atari hired Jobs and Steve Wozniak to write the code for Breakout and they earned a $5,000 bonus for the work (largely done by Woz), but Jobs kept the bonus a secret and only paid his partner $375. Or when his daughter Lisa was born in 1978, how he spent two years denying he was her father, and his denials forced her and her mother to support themselves on welfare. But this is also the guy who invented the Apple IIe, Macintosh, LaserWriter, iMac, Final Cut Pro, iPod, iPhone, and iPad —and all those things rock! So instead, I'll just say one thing: STEVE JOBS HALLOWEEN COSTUME. Nobody steal my fucking idea!
