Let us just hope that "the inventor of the internet" doesn't get our beloved company into too much (or any) trouble...
They said "he has leadership experience" at Apple's website. I just hope that this doesn't mean that Steve-O plans on giving up his favorite company AGAIN!!!
If he does... He will not again have as much luck as he once before did...

Maybe he'll go for the chair, and lose, leaving a complete idiot (Dubyah, SJ) in that place, like he did before.

Should I take this as we can't open bets on how soon he'll make a claim to the extent of "I invented the Digital Hub (or any other good Apple idea)." in a Wired Article?

Keep in mind your friendly moderator is a die hard liberal. Be careful what you say or in the words of Dr. Webster "Clickey, clickey, lockey, lockey."

hrm, that'd be culling a potentially good discussion. That and the fact that I have never heard of a modereator locking a thread because it does not agree with their political views.

I seriously doubt that The Steve would step down for Al without a fight.
As for a certain moderator's comments, one's political allegance should not be used as a criteria for locking threads. I will overturn any moderator I see grossly abusing their moderator priveledges.

I retract my statements. Regardless of my political views if the thread turned into harcore bashing of someone in either party in other tech I would move the topic to another forum. Appologies if my statements caused a few to get upset.
