I don't think I was talking specifically about Steve Jobs. It was just a general philosophy about one person grows up and he's kind of managing companies and every day he's working making sure this is in place and that's in place.

I do not like to talk about the future. I don't like to be one of those people.

I don't think that's honest and I don't think that's valid and worth anything.

Rockets are bad technology. iPhones are good technology
