    Jobs == Apple, and what kind of overly litigious society do we live in when the CEO of a huge corporation has to obey some law that tells him how to park on his company property?

    This pretty much solidifies my belief that Apple is not going to be a long standing company. It will either die in the hands of Jobs(though, not due to stupid stuff like the parking spot issue), or shortly after his departure.

    @Nintenboy01: I would call him a genius. Maybe not a math/physics Einstein sort of genius, but at least a marketing and presentation genius. The market is just saying "so what?". None of his skills cannot be replicated through some combination of other people, and Apple can afford to hire the best people in the business.

    Harvard business school is no longer a legitimate standard to judge business administration by. They are a joke.


    They're responsible for the quantity over quality era we are in.


    They think running a soda company is the same as running a major car company.


    Being a successful CEO requires passion for products. No one can say Jobs isn't passionate about apple.

    I wish he'd stop wearing the typical black turtleneck and blue jeans combo. How about a nice chic suit jacket and some designer slacks or something cool like that. I dunno, for how much money he makes, he should just dress like a business man.

    @LessthanZach: Why should he 'dress like a business man'? What does a dress code handed down from over a century ago have to do with anything? Wearing a suit doesn't make anyone better at their job, it is just a silly social construct and prejudice. For that matter, having lived and worked on both coasts, Jobs *is* dressing like many business men from California. Things are a lot more laid back there and it is not uncommon to see CEOs not wearing the traditional suit - and I think that's great. New England/New York is still a lot more uptight about such things.


    Fuck what other people think is 'cool', wear what you want. Especially if you, like Jobs, really don't have to care. That's one of the perks of being successful.

    @carterdea: "Best" implies that there is a quantifiable measure that people agree on, while generally there is not. For instance, I own a Sony mp3 Walkman as it has features that I value - noise canceling, good sound quality (better than iPods), and FM radio. Other things that the iPod is better at, like video playback, are not as valuable to me. Since this is a subjective valuation, I don't find it reasonable to say that any mp3 player is the best without qualification.

    @opazhman: I know. It takes great self-restraint to not key every car I see that's parked across two (or, depressingly, even four) spaces.


    Parking in handicapped spots never really bothers me. I don't do it, but I've never seen a parking lot that didn't have an abundance of empty handicapped spaces. It's especially annoying to have to park in the middle of nowhere because whoever designed the parking lot decided (or was forced) to designate a full third of it as handicapped.


    What does annoy me are the people who use the motorized carts in grocery stores just because they're too fucking fat and lazy to walk to get their groceries and instead feel that it's fair to take up the entire aisle with their scooter and their enormous ass.

    @BlueToast likes parenthises.: I should have been more clear. I'm talking about people who I see walking without apparent impairment while also using the cart. For example, I've seen people walk just fine from the parking lot into the store, only to grab one of the motorized carts. It's possible that they may legitimately need them, but if the evidence suggests that they can walk just fine, I tend to assume that they're just lazy.


    Obviously, I have no problem with people who use the carts because of a real handicap that prevents them from walking.

    @kylenalepa: My wife uses handicapped parking and "walks without apparent impairment". She doesn't use a motorized cart in the store because of the stigma although especially on her bad days I wish she would. I understand how she feels though, people with your beliefs are common and few of them polite.


    She is not at all overweight and visually appears to be in good physical condition. She also wears high heels, even her casual shoes have high heels, see if you can figure that one out.


    All this to say you really need to stop thinking that you can somehow tell from looking if someone has a "real" handicap. Hers is real and she'd trade that handicapped sticker in a heartbeat if someone could take the pain away.


    And the reason for the high heels is to help keep weight off the back of her feet.

    @Jake712: I understand and hope that she is able to walk more easily without pain in the future. I'll try and be more understanding of people using the carts in the future. Even though I'm sure that at least some of the people using them could do without, I'll make sure to remember that despite what visual evidence I have, I'll never have the full story and should give them the benefit of the doubt.


    I apologize for any offense I caused.
