Re: Steve Jobs for President

He doesn't have to manage our economy.  Fred Anderson would do that  wink

I look forward to the day when we can all see a keynote just by watching the news or a "state of the union" address.

"My Fellow Americans, we have decided to outlaw Microsoft forever.  We begin email-bombing in five minutes."

Re: Steve Jobs for President

The best part would be his new Keynotes!!!
"Ladies and Gentleman, the President of the United States..." and out comes Jobs with a huge American Flag in the backdrop...still wearing a black turtleneck and jeans...with that slight wave that says "Its hard as hell to be this cool..."

"Well, this has been a year of innovation for the United States...and we have two US Worlds worth of news...so lets get started...(applause)..for starters I want to talk about nuclear weapons...we did some research on modern attomic devices, and found that while yields are up...there is ALOT of room..in fact, we found that a modern Tomahawk missile is good for removing a city the size of Portland, Or. But the problem we found was that to remove a larger piece of real estate would take a whole slew of them. So we have been hard at work working on something that would coordinate the effort...and we come up with THIS....iNuke. (applause) iNuke is the center of your intercontinental war. We think this is going to be HUGE. Let me show you how it works....
(sits down)

iNuke opens in less then one bounce...here I have my map payne. The Map Payne refreshes every 15 seconds using your open TCPIP session to pull information and build the map of the planet that you see here. Now, you ask "Steve, why would you need to refresh the map?" Well that is a good question. You see, we did some research, and found that nucleur war is dynamic, which is a fancy way of saying that it changes. If I have a coordinated attack with iNuke to take out Pakistan for example, Pakistan is no longer on this map 15 seconds after I incinerate it. So here, let me open a new session....Lets just blow up Canada for fun...eh? (Crowd Laughs). Now I am going to select Target, And Im going to click on Canada....now notice that it only wants to blow up Calgary...if I hold down the shift key and click on Canada....there we go, notice how all of Canada is now highlighted in red..so if I click Launch, Canada will now go the way of Bell Bottoms and the Bay City Rollers...
And that.....is iNuke.
(applause)

Now lets talk about where iNuke is pulling its data from. We did some research on communications technology and found that our current sattelites are about as reliable as a 1974 Ford Pinto...(audience laughs) so we've had a team up around the clock for about 6 months developing this...(image pops up in background) we call it iSat. (applause).
Now, let me show it to you....


As you guys can see, Jobs would be a COOL president.... cool

What about the'one more thing'? lol

Re: Steve Jobs for President

And,...there is one more thing.

We wanted to apply the nuke-yu-lar technology we're using today to something smaller.

Much smaller.

So... (image displayed on screen, cheers from audience)

The new 12-megaton PowerNuke!  It's the most compact full-featured nuke-yu-lar bomb we've ever built, and the most compact full-featured one on the market today.  It is made of the same Plutonium alloy as the 17-megaton PowerNuke, and it's got all the features, in a much smaller case.

And it's beautiful.  And...I'd like to show it to you today.

(table rises out of the floor, revealing the 12-megaton PowerNuke and cheers from the audience) Isn't it beautiful?  Here, I'll open it.  That's how small the keypad is!  And when I open it, that's how fast it awakens from sleep.  Great, huh.  And it's powered by a 12-MEGATON PU4 Processor!  In something this small!  Amazing!

And here are the prices.  $1799 to $1999!  So.

You can have one of these soon, because we're gonna be shipping by the end of January!

And, there is one other thing.  Not only are we shipping them to YOU, we're also sending one to each of the hostile nations surrounding us, as a gift from the US of Apple.

Thank you...[leaves stage]

Re: Steve Jobs for President

Thanks for all the comments...for your enjoyment..

Oh...and...strap on your seatbelts, and hide the children...there IS..just one more thing...

We polled the public because we wanted to know what YOU wanted to see from this administration. And what we found was enlightening..we found that Americans, by and large, are driven by Justice. If there is a baby in a well, Americans will sit in front of the television for hours upon hours waiting to see the baby rescued. This spark of reality driven television shows...Americans like to see their own lives on television..they can relate to them better. Again, justice is delivered.

But there was an episode that happened on September 11 of 2001. A terrorist attack that took place in New York. The individual responsible for instigating this attack was Osama Bin Ladin.

And we never found him.

As I said earlier, we found that Americans want Justice. And when I asked my Secretary of Defense Phil Schiller what his thoughts on the matter were, he said "Steve...the Americans want Osama Bin Ladin. They want Justice."

So we had a meeting. We brought in the team that was working on iNuke, and we brought in the group who launched iSat. And we created a new project...code named  "Soft Justice." Its a module for iNuke, that can track the location of human DNA from space.

We call it "Bin Hidin'" Now the best part of this product is that records the encounter with great detail from space, and creates a mpeg4 movie file out of it so you can edit the movie in iMovie, and burn a DVD of it and send it to all your friends.

Bin Hidin'.

Well at least we have a vice-president with a clean bill of health and a good business past!

Oh wait...

Re: Steve Jobs for President

Americans would never vote for a gay president, he should just go for governor of California or something.

Yeah, Steve Jobs is pretty ambiguously gay.

Well, that's pretty lame. He's got a child and has been married for years. If he's gay, he hides it by living as a heterosexual.

doubletime - if you're not mature enough to post anything worthwhile, then bugger the hell off. Weak gay slurs are just that - weak. You can't even seem to manage an intelligent insult.

"Yur... he's so gay... hur hur"

Brilliant, almost Wildian wit. Could it be the famous drunken Noel Coward quote?

No.

Just another weak-minded halfwit who's worked out how to use a keyboard but hasn't progressed to working out complicated stuff like manners, etiquette, wit, thoughtfulness or intellect.

I look forward to a rebuttal, but knowing your form, I fully expect it to be along the lines of "yur... you're so gay... hur hur... I funny."

Re: Steve Jobs for President

It always amuses me to see trolls scurry for the door like rats...forgive him Gary, he thinks the mac is "Gay" because he uses XP...and the only people that use Macs are gay artists...didn't you know that?

Oh, and as a side note...homosexuality is a curb about one inch high...can't you just get over it?

Homosexual... heterosexual... it's all the same to me. They're both just people, doing what people do. I'm happy for people either way.

What I don't like is the constant stream of idiots who think that "gay" is an insult. It's about as effective an insult as left-handedness, which shoe you put on first or what you cereal preference is.

Sometimes I find it hard to suffer fools.

Re: Steve Jobs for President

I find that most true fools always take the bait that hangs in front of them.  Whether it be an anti-gay, anti-Mac or anti-anything sentiment that they're pushing, they will always stick to it.  And that's the sickening thing.  The fact that people truly believe what they're saying is correct, and if they don't, then they still say it because they're afraid it isn't.  The unfortunate thing is, there are so many people like this that you can't escape them.  Wherever you go, they will always be there, they will always be just around the corner, they will always be lurking in the darkness, waiting for you to say something that gives them reason to respond.  You can't escape.  But, there is solace only in the fact that you know they're wrong.  It may be difficult to weather the constant, unrelenting storm of trolls, but it can be done with some determination (and a heck of a lot of pure nerves).

Whew, what a load of waffle.  btw Steve Jobs has 4 kids: Lisa, Erin, Reed and Eve.  smile

Which reminds me, we NEVER ever hear about Steve's kids.  If he becomes President his kids would be exposed left and right.

Re: Steve Jobs for President

The funny thing is that if Steve was less mercurial in the 80s, John Sculley would have been President by now, and up for his second term.  eek

Re: Steve Jobs for President

Jobs for president? He'll probably have to find something to occupy his free time. He'll have more of that coming his way.

and the women come out to cut up what remains,
just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
and go to your god like a soldier...
