The Long and Winding LoopFriday, December 20, 1996 by Dave Winer. OK -- I give in. Yesterday a rumor circulated that Apple had dropped its plan to acquire Be and was moving instead to buy the assets of NeXT, specifically their operating system and their founder, Steve Jobs, who is also the founder of Apple. If true, it would make the round trip on the Infinite Loop much longer than I thought possible... Either people are very creative, or the world is very strange. Still diggin! Dave PS: Get Woz to come back too. |
