Well, today's a too-fer, as in two-for-one. First we blew out our numbers, and then we got our pals in Washington to fire this bonehead US Attorney who's been hassling us on the options. See here and here. And we made sure they wrote it up that "Kevin Ryan is leaving to spend time with his family," so everybody would understand that people were bitching about this guy and so Washington canned him for trying to lead some egomaniacal crusade against Apple even though, as I've said time and time again, no crime was committed. So look, Kevin V. Ryan. You want to come out here to my Valley and push Steve Jobs around? You want to play hardball, ese? I think you must be loco. Mess with the dudes from Brocade if you want, fair enough. But try to tangle with the Jobsmeister and it's like having sex with a porcupine, if you get my drift. I run this Valley. And Hollywood too. So this time you messed with the wrong genius, you big dope. You tried to punch above your weight, and you got TKO'd.
Much love to Jerry York and his shadowy pals in D.C., and also who could overlook the huge contribution of my dear friend Mr. Albert Gore Jr. Not to mention Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi. If you want to understand a little of the subtleties of this matter, I urge you to check out who appointed Kevin V. Ryan and then consider who's in power today in Washington. Food for thought. It's a new day for all of us. Now we just need to get this friggin iPhone to work right by June, and Bob's yer fookin uncle, as Bono would say.

From the SF Weekly article on Kevin Ryan's performance:
In 2002, Ryan applied for a vacancy on the Northern District bench. As the story goes, White House officials urged him to instead take the job of U.S. Attorney, assuring him that after gaining a bit of federal seasoning, he would don a judge's robe.
Whether Ryan still carries that career ambition is unknown. Yet considering his cold relationship with the region's federal judges and the speculation in legal circles that Justice Department officials would prefer that he step down, the optimism of four years ago seems a distant glimmer.
A month before he took office, Ryan told the Mercury News, " ... I think I have an advantage because I'm not coming from within the system. To use an overused phrase, I'll be able to think outside the box."
He's had a more difficult time stepping out of his bunker.
How is fookin' Bono, anyway?
Steve, was it anything like in Godfather II, when that senator wouldn't give Michael the gambling licence, then he ends up in a hotel room with a dead hooker? That would have been sweet. Another neat thing to do, is have his kids college acceptances revoked. Bet you Jerry could handle that too. Always say, kick a man till he goes down, then kick him some more. Good luck.
The dark season of
Chiswickian Conundrum
Smoke that in your pipe.
Why the hate? The poor man was just trying to do his job, and put his kids through college.
latest BS from John DvorHAcK:
Ballmer, iPhone and the reality-distortion field
I've always suspected that Jobs ran into some crazy guru who taught him this reality-distortion-field trick. Seriously, it's the only explanation when you start to think about it.
It also explains his seriously ascetic nature and his connection with Larry Ellison, who has some weird Japanese spiritual thing going on. I'd rather not know the details.
One of the untold stories in Silicon Valley is the number of rich crazies who are caught up in various pseudoreligious pursuits that they bend to suit business needs. Epson America in the 1980s was essentially run by Scientologists, as was the Ashton-Tate empire until its founder died. IMSAI and numerous other Bay Area companies were dominated by EST trainees and apostles.
But, to me, none of it has ever been as weird as the Steve Jobs reality-distortion field. Maybe it's all a coincidence, and Steve is just a naturally charismatic guy. Anything is possible.
But the reality-distortion field does exist. And at least Ballmer sees it, even if all those reporters covering Jobs and Apple don't.
Interesting choice, that Jonny Evans link.
