I'm wondering if anyone's picked up on this:

What's going on?

Is it safe to travel?

Or has the political climate of the United States radicalized Steve to create a strange turtleneck/army shirt hybrid?

Create your own theory here.

Wow, he needs to un-button the top button and show some skin....wait...

blackbird_1.0 · Sep 12, 2006, 04:48 PM

Is it a Nike brand jacket?

Kerrigan · Sep 12, 2006, 04:51 PM

Well, his rather significant weight loss over the past couple of years has made him look somewhat thin and sickly in the turtleneck. Remember how everyone was complaining about his looks in the last keynote? That turtleneck looked too loose and baggy, and it was accentuating both a boney frame as well as some unflattering chest lines.

Notice how in an oxford shirt gives him a more "well-built" look, even though he's about as thin as last time we saw him.

Landos Mustache · Sep 12, 2006, 05:09 PM

That is a really ugly shirt on top of it. The collar is practically acting like a turtleneck it is so big.

Cody Dawg · Sep 12, 2006, 05:16 PM

Is he sick again...or still sick and not letting anyone know about it?

Not this again.

He said last month there is nothing wrong.

mdc · Sep 12, 2006, 05:50 PM

Was he wearing his New Balance or the new Nikes?

imitchellg5 · Sep 12, 2006, 05:59 PM

I did notice that. Odd. baw, when did he say nothing was wrong? I must have missed that.

The spokesperson said he is fine at least.

Cody Dawg · Sep 12, 2006, 07:02 PM

If he's so fine why are they making it a point to let everyone know that he's fine?

People don't just get thin and change from turtlenecks to dress shirts for no reason.

The only people making it a point are the lame bloggers.

paul w · Sep 12, 2006, 07:13 PM

It's clear he's been using - he swiched to the buttoned shirt with buttoned up sleaves to make sure he hid his track marks. He has a tendancy to push up those turtlenecks' sleeves you know.

JoshuaZ · Sep 12, 2006, 07:31 PM

But does he have jeans on? Thats my big questions.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO!

All is lost.

WinsOBoogi · Sep 12, 2006, 07:47 PM

Jeans and a dress shirt, huh?

I wonder if this is a new thing, or a fluke.

Face Ache · Sep 12, 2006, 07:51 PM

I predict this is the beginning of the end for Apple.

For now.

WinsOBoogi · Sep 12, 2006, 08:02 PM

I think I figured it out. His turtleneck is correlated directly to the Aqua interface.

The new shirt is correlated to the new iTunes user interface.

Workable theory?

He's making it a point to say he's OK because the rest of us are speculating that he has to be sick. If none of us were speculating over his health he wouldn't have to make a point of it.

demograph68 · Sep 12, 2006, 08:33 PM

Apple is now dead to me!

spauldingg · Sep 12, 2006, 09:03 PM

I think it looks rather dashing, and a bit more age appropriate.

And he is definately looking and moving less "tired" than he did last time. I never fell for the sick thing, I think last time he was just exhausted. He's no spring chicken anymore, but still a handsome vital man. Yes, I'm a fag who has had a little crush on steve for decades...

molala · Sep 13, 2006, 01:07 AM

He looks alright, but I agree that the collar is too big. I, too, am relieved that he is at least wearing jeans and that the shirt is black.

ambush · Sep 13, 2006, 01:18 AM

The guy is just getting too old for this.

What's next? ****ing adult pampers?

seanc · Sep 13, 2006, 02:26 AM

Lets look at this in a different way, Apples slogan is/was "Think Different". Many people got a Mac instead of a PC and Windows, Steve followed it and got a new shirt

He did end up rolling his sleeves up this time as well... I'll have to look a little closer for those track marks...

Kerrigan · Sep 13, 2006, 09:46 AM

People shoot up in their neck?

turtle777 · Sep 13, 2006, 10:53 AM

Steve abandoned the turtles. Sad day

First, Intel chips, now this.

Monique · Sep 13, 2006, 03:10 PM

Have you ever notice after he got married he started washing himself. That was a big step . It is a silly and funny thread.

real · Sep 13, 2006, 03:47 PM

SJ makes that shirt look good

change is good, remember Apple inovates.

real

Jawbone54 · Sep 13, 2006, 03:52 PM

No. I miss the black turtleneck. I just wish that he'd start wearing a belt with his jeans.

F*ckDell · Sep 13, 2006, 04:07 PM

Hahaha, I agree with jawbone, a belt would have set off the dress shirt nicely.

Any of you guys remember MacWorld from 1986, or 1985 - can't seem to remember. Jobs was wearing a tux!

I think this is step one, next step will be the belt, then dress pants, maybe some dress shoes... finally, his resign as CEO of Apple Cooperation Inc.

::maroma:: · Sep 13, 2006, 04:17 PM

I must say, aside from his dramatic weight loss, he is aging gracefully. His wardrobe is fine, its understated and tasteful.

And just be happy we don't have to put up with the likes of this cornball every keynote:

(Check the sweat marks! Nervous? or just on crack?)
/shudder

Hes insane!!!

imitchellg5 · Sep 13, 2006, 07:17 PM

Steve Ballmer is the worst person to present anything. I hope he unveils the Zune... he'll most likely get too much sweat on it and it will short circuit ( probably will anyway

JoshuaZ · Sep 14, 2006, 02:26 AM

I hope Jobs shows up in PJs next time. They'll show everyone what a casual CEO he is.

Totally. He scares the **** out of me and I think he is the personification of Microsoft to the last detail.

Fat, sweaty, nobody finds it attractive and is annoying as hell.

You forgot filthy stinkin' rich.

Monique · Sep 14, 2006, 12:20 PM

I hope next time he is naked.

Some fashion consultant will get Steved (fired).

I really didn't want to picture that to begin with and i REALLY didn't want to picture you picturing him naked.

Monique · Sep 14, 2006, 12:59 PM

But he is adorable and I am a woman and hetero, so I like to see cute guys with no clothes.

Aww man that just make it 10x worse

Monique · Sep 14, 2006, 01:11 PM

Just like this guy at work I was telling you guys about Robert, darn so cute and so bored because they are married. I would not mind kneeling in front of them and saying hello.
