So, Jobs really drives a car with no license plate! Interesting.

He and half of the rest of the Valley.

Here in Cambridge we call that a bicycle.

Celebrity gossip? Jesus.

Yeah, I went over there hoping to see candid shots of them in bikinis, WWTDD-style.

Google / Apple fist-fight is about the biggest story in tech, and will likely impact the next few decades of dev!

The two principals meeting in public without Steve's hands wringing Eric's neck is a real story.

I dunno, maybe I'm more romantic, but my kind of programming celebrities appear in mailing list text-only posts rather than paparazzi pictures.

10 years from now when I'll look back at this, I don't want to remember Steve and Schmith "sitting in a tree" ... all I want are the facts ... what company released what, with what impact and what was the retaliation from the other competitor.

I understand that News are either about things you can use right now or about things that keep you entertained.

But boy, the preferences of people for entertainment is getting really weird lately. Too bad geeks aren't into clothes fashion, otherwise we'd be talking about Steve's shoes right now ... oh wait :)

I've never seen Eric Schmidt as being particularly loyal to the Google cause. Not like Jobs is to Apple, anyway.

My imagination writes their dialogue as "Sure, we'll kill Android. If it makes someone mad, maybe we shouldn't be doing it."

But I am just a little cynical...

This reminds me of how celebrities often meet up at the Ivy when they want to attract buzz/speculation about potential projects or simply to make at statement.

I'm completely against celebrity gossip, but this article does have one tidbit of useful information for Bay Area residents: Charlie Ayers owns a cafe in the Town & Country Center. I'll have to check it out!

You may choose a public place for the neutrality. But you only choose the outdoor table for the attention. Steve Jobs' image is too controlled for that to be random.

They were probably just passing time until they got spotted, making fun of some common annoyance (newspapers, from the sound of it) so they'd be sure to convey the desired friendly, casual image.

Does Steve ever get tired of wearing the same clothes every day?

His shoes are pretty excellent, though.

"Does Steve ever get tired of wearing the same clothes every day?"

Don't you ever get tired of having to pick something different every day? I have to imagine that's the rationale. Steve isn't the one who has to look at Steve, though. I don't imagine he cares.

jrockway3• 16 years ago

No, I don't get tired of having to pick something different every day.

Uniformity is the name of the game for Apple no?

I thought the linked body language analysis (http://gizmodo.com/5503192/so-awkward-steve-jobs-and-eric-sc...) was more interesting than the article itself. If Schmidt is scared of Jobs, I have to wonder why. I can't think of too many things Apple can do to Google...the main one I can think of is the rumored switch to using MS/Bing services on Apple portable devices.
