]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> People are always bashing you for doing too many Apple posts, but who's laughing now!?

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Was he wearing a black turtle neck? Did he have a rolled up parchment in his pocket that had the words: "I pledge my soul to you for eternity in exchange for blueprints for the iPod." written in blood?

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Congratulations, Brian.

Your honest appreciation and dutiful efforts to bring the latest and greatest gadget news to the masses is paying off. I've been reading you guys for a while as well, and I find the news about my industry pretty accurate, which lends credence to the rest of the articles. Keep up the great work and I'll keep clicking.

Weak!

Michael

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Sweet!

I met and chatted with Johnny Cash once, now if I could do it with Steve Jobs my life would be complete. I would probably be too nervous to make decent conversation though unless I had about an hour to spend with him.

Glad he reads the GIZ, it rocks!

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I remember a few years ago Bill Gates announced he reads Engadget.

I find the Gates/Engadget and Jobs/Gizmodo split so very fitting and not surprising at all.

Michael

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> The number of grumpy, moody, "the world is going down the toilet"-people now populating the internet comments section of ANY site surely now exceeds the total number of pensioners complaining about everything from their children to their grandchildren and the lousy food they get served?

Geezes. It's an anecdote. Simple as that. If you don't think it fits in at Gizmodo, you simply haven't been reading Gizmodo for long.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Moosiest, don't read it then. And if you do read it, don't post comments. No one is impressed with your shitty attitude.

Brian Lam

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Back off fanboys. He said he reads Giz, not the
comments. ;-)

Nice share Brian, good luck to you.

Maxwells_Nylon_Hammer

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> yowzer, that counts as a reasonable gadget post? i saw will arnette on the street a few months ago and he was actually listening to an ipod.. now THAT'S news! crikey, gizmodo is getting tough to count on for good reads.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Oh crap.

Now even more Apple stories are going to junk up my reader.

Aaron Eaton

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> what about your fantasy meeting with Steve Jobs??? That you wrote about a few months ago??? Did you get yourself an iPhone???

jsimondsmalamud

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Also, how often does he check the fake steve blog?

J3k

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I would have tried to give him my zune in exchange for an ipod. Worst purchase since Saved by the Bell came out on DVD.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> It's so cool to know that we've been in company with Steve Jobs right here at Gizmodo. I'll never empty my cache again...

MacManiac

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Man, that's really cool.

I'm genuinely jealous, I'd love to meet Steve (and have it go the same way as in your fantasy)!

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]>
Wow, you should send him an invite to comment on the stories.

Oh, like he doesn't do that already.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to kick off these New Balance 991s and get out of this black turtleneck.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> i agree, this is the best gadget site, other than mine (www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts) that is...

dimensionaltrend

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I am utterly embarrassed to come to the realization that I probably could not even walk properly if I ever came within 20 feet of that guy.

Imagine a casual pass in the hall...
Me: *double glance*...*triple glance*...*odd surprise-suffication sound*...*legs become Jello*...CRASH, FW-TOOM, KLANG, DONK-DONK-DONK-DONK-DONK (falling down stairs, for you non-imaginative types).
Jobs: "You forgot 'BOOM!'. "
Me: Silence
Jobs: "I would call 911, but my iPhone's out of battery."

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Wow, you should send him an invite to comment on the stories. Grats!

Norbert

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I tried to pull off the wearing the same outfit every day deal, but for some reason everyone looked at me like I was weird or something. I guess you have to be a genius to get away with it.

koryglenn

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Brian, to clarify things, next time you refer to weed, you may want to say something like "he didn't invite me over to smoke out with him", instead. You just didn't get the coolness factor across, I think. Gotta be specific.

RiceBandit

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I heard he hit wazzit's name over at endogadgit ... :). Congrats on making the effort to have the experience ... good work.

crescentdave

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Jason (it was Jason right?) should be happy when he realizes Steve Jobs has seen him putting a Wii in his pants. Too bad it wasn't a Mini or a Powerbook. Then again, y'all are such fanboys, he's probably always got a Nano tucked into his BVDs.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I work at the Starbucks next to Apple HQ and pray that one day Lord Jobs will grace my Stevens Creek and Deanza store with his presence.

PLEASE!?!?

ubercaff

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> The Jobs is one thing, an awesome thing. But how did you get Wert to comment you up over here?

girraffesack

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I met him once. Sent him a letter and he said he'd be willing to spend 30 seconds with me out in Cupertino. He was pretty nice, though it seemed all he was interested in is what I thought of Keynote (which was new at the time.)

dcalfine

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Damn! I was trying to quote Fezzik, didn't work. No my post makes NO sense at all. Shoot me now.

XtremeCamera

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> >>

Nope, never happen. Apple will copy the site and claim it was their idea ;-)

j/k -- Actually, I heard he doesn't like meeting people so he must be quite the fan of Giz since he took the time to talk to you. Nice...

XtremeCamera

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Good on you Giz... I'm not the huge Apple fan, but it really says something when you get those kinds of props from someone so big in the game.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Steve, if you read this, i am your long lost son, please get in touch, mom is getting depressed about you not returning phone calls and me not getting that iphone you promised on christmas....

Cheve

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Ain't nobody Godifying Steve Jobs. People should honor people who change the world in a positive way. Honoring someone is different than worshiping them.

It's an "honor" to host a good friend, be taught by an intelligent mind or meet an innovator.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Crap, sorry fastm4drive, I meant to respond to rc28 !!! Bad copy-and-pasting on my part.

liquidsoapdispenser

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Steve doesn't smoke. I believe at least one of his parents died of lung cancer and he's very anti-smoking. Take it from an ex-Apple employee - who now also doesn't smoke.

targatop

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> You left out the part about kissing his twins, Left and Right ButtCheeks, but I guess that's a given.

hooptycritter

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> how about imondo, or iapplemodo.

rohan1

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> @ fastm3driver
I think solely as a businessman, Jobs has plenty of reason to be looked up to. No one is calling him a deity. Stop raining on Brian's parade, jerkwad.

@ jdare
Hilarious, Strider... I actually considered the possibility for a moment.

liquidsoapdispenser

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Wow! Good for you, Brian.

Demial

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> pretty soon apple will buy this blog and rename it applemodo... just wait...

Fezzik

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> @XWL: no.

I just wanted to say that I was the one who emailed Apple (Steve) and outlined a strategy (gen 1? gen 2) way back for iPods to get integrated with auto manufacturers. For free. !$#@

Of course, I lost that email, so um, yeah. I swear! My idea!


iomatic

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> So Brian can we count on you to have an iPhone in your pants anytime in the near future?

...please do change your underwear before the momentous event...

TrafficGeek

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Did he mention me? Any mention of the email I sent? At all? Nothing? Really?
I stalked him for months, and he does not even send [cease and decist] letters anymore.

Seriously, though.. That is pretty cool, Brian. Congrats! I think I probably would have immediately gone and purchased an Apple product from just being in the same building. That is why I stay away from Apple events -- I am too easily tempted by the fanboy vibe.

Brian Lam

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> So, in the inevitable brokeback photoshop treatment of this momentous occasion, will Steve Jobs be Heath Ledger and Brian Lam be Jake Gyllenhaal, or vice versa?

(has it been long enough ago for brokeback jokes to be funny again?)

XWL

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I knew it!!! I knew strider wasn't just some dude with too much time on his hands, and crazy knowledge of all things geek, I knew it was you Steve, I knew from the beginning. Mark my words.

djdare

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> "Hi Steve.."
"Boom!"

zxdxz

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Also, now that Brian Lam knows "stevie" will be reading his posts everyday does this mean even more apple fanboy biased journalism?

rc28

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I met Bill Gates in 1993. At the time, I was doing a lot of freelance writing for various periodicals and had some pressing questions to ask him.

In hindsight, I would have rather met Jobs. In fact, I'd still like to meet his Steveness. But since I'm not as well known as Gizmaster Lam, it would be a simple passing in the hallway.

chillywilly

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Did you lick his ass too?
You'd swear this guy was god himself! Apple is a business, they want to make as much money out of you as the next so stop acting like they are some sacred higher being.

rc28

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> he smokes? lame

fastm3driver

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> Nice, must have been amazing. Next time you're writing an article, will you keep getting distracted knowing Stevie may be reading it?

BTW, I read Gizmodo about 20 times a day.

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> can i kiss your feet?

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> does this mean any exclusives??

geel

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> I just had a Jobs-gasm. Right here. Right now.

Does he have a favorite auto site yet? Dammit Lam, ask him the important shit!

Ray Wert

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> congrats Brian....this truly is the best gadget blog on the web...

]]> <![CDATA[Meeting Steve Jobs]]> That's really cool, Brian. You and Jobs are mutual Fanboys. That makes you, like, the fanboy's fanboy.

I'm jealous.
