Steve looked healthier at iPad event
MacDailyNews points out that not many bloggers or journalists covered the issue of Steve's health at last week's Apple event, but I'd argue that it wasn't really a huge story -- the guy is doing his job, and while we definitely want to make sure he's healthy, his well-being is not really for us to judge. That said, they put a picture of Steve from last September up side by side with a pic from last week's event, and it's true that His Steveness does look a little more colorful. Given that he's probably not going to share much information with us about his health issues (which is completely his right, obviously), we're at least happy that it seems he's a little more hale. Needless to say, we only hope he's feeling better, as Apple just isn't the same company without him. We do know he's personally invested in the iPad, if the rumors are to be believed, and so if this current run of work is helping him stay active and keep busy, I'll be extra happy to support it when the tablet finally reaches the shelves.
A new Apple Cube on the horizon?
Every Apple fan knows that his Steveness is into cubes, even more than Picasso was. The original NeXTcube (1988-1993) was, you guessed it, a cube -- as were the G4 Cube (2000-2001), and the new Apple cubealicious store in New York City (2006-?). Earlier this year we wrote about the possibility of the new Apple Media Cube, the ultimate Mac Mini meets truely awesome DVR/media center box which hasn't (yet) come to fruition. Well, here's another one to add to the flurry of rumors and speculations about what Stevie J. will unveil at next week's special event: a new Apple Cube? A US Patent filed today by our friends in Cupertino explains: "A cubical computer housing assembly comprises first and second ends and four sides, which define an interior compartment for housing the various computer components." Of course, we're still waiting on those thousands of embedded cameras in an LCD and an iPod dock in a PowerBook MacBook Pro. [Via Unwired View, thanks Staska]
His Steveness in desktop format
If you really like Steve Jobs (and I mean really like him) then your Mac isn't complete without this desktop from Deviant Art member *tumb. Personally, I think it is a little creepy but who am I to judge your obsession with everyone's favorite iCEO?
Steve Jobs wins the Steve Jobs award
Wired magazine announced their RAVE award winners yesterday, and not only did his Steveness win one (this would be his second) but the Wired editors decided that he deserved a category unto himself. The Steve Jobs award recognizes ' sustained excellence and creative genius.'Here's hoping I win one next year.[via Infinite Loop]
