Astronomy Look-alikes, No. 65

Chairing a PhD examination last week I noticed that the external examiner bore a striking resemblance to the late Steve Jobs (except for the “late” bit of course). To cap it all, I even found pictures of them both wearing the same headgear…

Steve Jobs

  1. Careful Telescoper.
    The “Jobobytes” seem very sensitive about their Messiah. “Take His name or image in vain, and thou shallt be cast unto the Gates (Bill) of Hell (Microsoft)”.
    It is rumoured that his mother once said “He is not the new Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy”.

    I like his slogan “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”

    The former presumably applies to the Chinese children who work for poverty wages making Apple products; the latter to the people who buy them.

      Hmmm, such an obvious troll … to respond or not, that is the question. Probably not; best to leave such troglodytes In The Dark.

      Apple should bring out a range of clockwork gadgets, but even they probably wouldn’t be as easy to wind up as their users…

  3. So Toby Moore has never been late?
