Steve Jobs: We Rested On The Seventh Day

Steve Jobs: We Rested On The Seventh Day

Right after the announcement of the many new and exciting features going into iPhone OS 4.0, Steve Jobs walked into a Q&A and, asked about widgets on the iPad, casually made this Old Testament reference:

Q: Why have you veered away from widgets on the iPad?
A: We just shipped it on Saturday. And then we rested on Sunday.
Q: So widgets are possible?
A: Everything is possible.

Interesting. You know who else rested on the Sabbath, right? Say what you will about Steve, but he always leaves his ego check in at the door.

    Is it ego to compare yourself to myth?

    I believe he doesn’t believe in God.

    You are pushing too far. Why cant he joke (could be)?
    I think he despise stupidity (whatever is his definition, and his choice of clothes is a proof that he has no time to spare with foolishness), and people take it as ego trip.

    I thought of it as a joking remark, sort of tongue in cheek about the whole iPad hoopla.
