Steve Jobs, Apples Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, putting a single foot inside the Redmond campus, Microsofts fief, would be nothing short of a sacrilegious move.

18.6.2009 Microsoft is 30 years old today! have a look at the Microsoft Timeline
It's hard to believe that Microsoft is already 30 years old. The company that made Redmond, Washington, a household name was actually founded in 1975 in another city by two young Seattle men, one of whom was a college dropout. From this inauspicious beginning came an equally improbable vision: A personal computer on every desk and in every home. Thirty years later, it seems so obvious. But at the time, when only a handful of people knew what a personal computer was, it was a great leap of faith and daring.

Job's lawyer recently made a comment at a town council meeting over a historical house he wants to demolish: "I don't think he would be
strong enough if we were here until 1 a.m., and I think there's a strong possibility of that." The quote clearly shows that Steve's health

tell you how many random people I've met who just simply hate Ballmer. And none of their experiences have been personal. I can see how Ballmer can
come across as a mean, shrewd and cocky person who likes to eat babies and kills people for sport, but I'm here to tell you that Ballmer is probably
the most intelligent, tactical and loyal person I've ever known. Clearly, this is going to be hard to digest especially considering I work at
Microsoft.

AppleInsider, Jobs played a big part in the recent iPhone OS 3.0 release, and is apparently working on a tablet-size device, bigger than an iPhone but
smaller than a MacBook. Rumors about an Apple tablet have been flying around for ages, even more so lately, but if sources close to Jobs himself say
he's working on it, then there's a good chance that there's something going on.

24.10.2007Internal Apple Stevenote: iPhone, iPods with OS X, and "off the charts" Macs in the ...
Apple held a somewhat rare,
company-wide virtual meeting
with Steve Jobs this morning
(11am Pacific Time), wherein
Steve Jobs discussed the
gravity of the iPhone on
Apple's business as well as
how he perceives the parts
played by the rest of the
company. The following is a
series of notes produced by
combining details from several
of Ars Technica's internal
sources.
Steve opened
up with how he believes that
the iPhone will change the
mobile space forever. He said
that when the Mac first came
out, people talked about how
some day, every computer would
work that way, and the same
would be true of the iPhone.
The iPhone was driven by the
fact that everyone hates their
phones, and it's all about
"core competence"--making
all of the features
easy-to-use and
self-discoverable.
He then talked about
iPhone in relation to the rest
of Apple's business. Steve
described it as trying to put
the third leg onto a chair
with only two legs. The first
leg is the Mac business, which
Steve addressed by saying that
they have the "best Macs" in
the new product pipeline ever
right now, and that the stuff
coming out in the next year is
"off the charts." Wow,
sounds juicy. ..
