Analysts say the craziest things when trying to guess what the supersecretive Steve Jobs is up to at Apple. Last quarter, Jobs has only billed the company for $30,000 in business-related travel reimbursements.

Steve Jobs? Micromanaging? Perish the thought!
OT: at Drupalcamp Vancouver today I met a woman who was talking about the fact that she has unusually-shaped ears, and the iPod earbuds always fall out. What puzzles her is the fact that Steve Jobs has identically unusual ears...so, did he discriminate against himself in the design, or does the inanimate matter of earbuds simply obey his wishes?
I too have Jobsian iPod-unfriendly ears, but my wife's seem almost as if they were designed to hold an earbud. Fortunately, our new baby has inherited her new-millennium ears.

My baby will undoubtedly be more successful than his non-iPod-friendly-eared peers and will naturally make a more attractive mate. In another 5,000 years, everyone will have iPod-friendly ears.
@SYFer: You are undoubtably correct.
