Steve Jobs: “To infinity … and beyond!”
From my post on MetaFilter:
Back in 2004 or so when I worked at Apple, I saw Steve Jobs walking across Apple’s campus with a reporter toward the cafeteria. I was walking a few feet behind, enough to hear the reporter asking about Steve’s family. As we approached the entrance, Steve stopped and opened the door for an employee carrying trays of food outside. The employee never looked up but said “Thanks.” “Sure,” Steve replied. Just then, at least two dozen people followed the employee out. Because of where the reporter was standing, none of the employees (as far as I could tell) noticed who was holding the door for them. Steve continued holding that door, talking to the reporter, until I came up and offered to take his place as doorman. “Thanks,” he said. “Sure,” I replied. He smiled and invited the reporter inside.
That’s it.
Whatever else you may read about Steve, whatever else happened in his life or to Apple or to the world of computing, know that he opened doors for people.

The connections we make in the course of a life—maybe that’s what heaven is, Tom. We make so many connections here on earth. Look at us—I’ve just met you, but I’m investing in who you are and who you will be, and I can’t help it.
Google seems to be acting like the king piece in chess. It has no value fighting itself, but without it, all the other pieces are useless so it sends out other pieces to fight for it.
