Photos from inside Apple Headquarters

It’s the Chocolate Factory for tech nerds. Search the web for “Apple HQ,” and most of the results you get will be pictures of Apple’s Cupertino headquarters — from the outside.

Steve Jobs is a tweaker, according to his flawed biography

I’m hating the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. It’s like an art novice trying to explain Monet’s brushstrokes. I’m not convinced that Mr. Isaacson understands the topic all that well.
