That is quite a weird conversation. Steve Jobs seems to be very demanding.

From what I've heard from people who have either worked for or with Jobs have said he IS very Demanding.

You do know that CARS is an Apple satire site, right? I'm pretty sure that Apple never really posted ads that read Apple Computer has current openings for Genius and Ninja positions".

malvolio · Feb 18, 2005, 10:49 AM

Yeah, there's a reason it's not called saneapplerumors.

ThinkInsane · Feb 18, 2005, 10:51 AM

A quick look at the staff roster should help clear up an misunderstanding.

Aiglos · Feb 18, 2005, 10:54 AM

I'm very skeptical of that story. In either case, why couldn't he just admit that he didn't work there in the first place.

Very hard to believe, in both the story and how Corretti can be so stupid.

turtle777 · Feb 18, 2005, 10:55 AM

Jobs: "So... what have you done for me lately?"
Corretti: "bought an iPod shuffle a couple of days ago !"

Uhhh.. like i said, i find it hard to believe.

Get a brain.

Xeo · Feb 18, 2005, 11:04 AM

Sounds like BS to me. Especially being at a site where the comments are filled with people trying to comment first.

That's like quoting something on these forums...

Seems like you just got yours. Otherwise, if you had it all figured out, why were you even skeptical ?

Demonhood · Feb 18, 2005, 11:14 AM

geez people, read the disclaimer on the main page if you can't pick up on the satire.
or, um, Steve Jobs will fire you too.

Once again, I will reiterate, Crazy Apple Rumors Site is not a legitimate news site of any sort. It's humor. Read through the stories (you know, the ones that are written by a caveman correspondent). Or some of the stories about their energy based financier from another dimension. And how said entity (know as The Entity) has had them battling a giant octopus that lives in the center of the galaxy. One more time kids, repeat after me: "This is satire". Or do you guys think The Onion is all true too?

Xeo · Feb 18, 2005, 11:23 AM

So someone posts a link to a website we've never heard of and we're all supposed to know it's satire based on one article? I didn't believe it was true but that doesn't mean the owner of the website wasn't trying to pass it off to be.

roberto blanco · Feb 18, 2005, 11:25 AM

okay okay...guess i should have read the entire site first. LOL

it seemed very odd to me. but nevermind then. just enjoy the satire. *g*

Eriamjh · Feb 18, 2005, 11:31 AM

I like the comment about knowing the look one gets having "nailed a friend's sister" once before.

I would be honored to be fired by Jobs. It would also be quite humorous to act like a smart-ass employee and be all defiant with him knowing that he has NO POWER OVER YOU.

"Your Reality Distortion Field has no power over me."

The problem is that several times it was posted that the site is satire, and people kept talking about it like it was news. It ain't. Far from it.

But as Demonhood said, the disclaimer is worth reading:

Crazy Apple Rumors Site is dedicated to the fabrication of Apple rumors that defy verifiability, grammatical convention or any basis in reality. Crazy Apple Rumors Site is not affiliated with Apple Computer, Crazy Eddie, the Fleetwood Mac "Rumors" album, Mack Trucks, the Washington State Apple Growers Association, the Vatican Secret Service, or Victoria's Secret (despite the large collection of their catalogs in the CARS' men's room). Any similarity to existing Apple rumors sites is purely coincidental. As a matter of fact, any similarity to an actual web site with content, readers, and advertisers is not only coincidental but really rather unlikely, don't you think? Should any member of the CARS team be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of our actions. She's really adamant about that. All cease and desist orders should be directed to Steve Ballmer, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA. He's the big freak, after all. Lubrication provided by Deschutes Brewing, makers of Mirror Pond Pale Ale. All meals catered at great expense by Honoki of Roppongi, Tokyo, and are flown in daily. Try the miso eggplant. It's exquisite. Guests of Crazy Apple Rumors Site fly Aer Lingus, strangely enough, and stay at the Silver Cloud Inn in Tacoma, in the luxurious Crazy Apple Rumors Suite.

Don't forget to send those complaints to Balmer

I wanna work there!

Joke or not I did work with a woman who was very much like that.

Worked and still work (thankfully for someone else).

please somebody tell me that someone could not really think this way.

even if it's just a review, i could not imagine anyone believing this...let alone anyone who would consider himself a tech journalist.

Wow, what a load of crap that is. Pretty much every sentence he writes can be shown to be untrue or partially untrue.

From Eug's article:
Poor standards compliance:
Apple's Safari web browser often fails to render MSN properly.

Subtle, but very funny, article.

Well, I read his other article and he gave RealOne Player 5/5 stars, so it must be a joke.
