• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

That's where all of us are headed. What's the lesson?

Or, in other words, you can't fight P.C. with apples.

I haven't snorted that loud in public for quite a while

But are we dead right now, like Steve is? No.

What’s the lesson?

You can't take it with you.

Also, if you have cancer, go to a doctor.

Not me - I'm learning from Steve's mistake.
