fantastic advice from a business icon. excellent speech. i do somehow feel the audience didn’t quite get it mind you – possibly because Steve started by telling the bunch of graduates that he didn’t see the point in finishing college. That confused ‘em

congratulations iPhone App Store

What an incredible commercial success! Drop a shopping cart into thousands of chic-geek professionals’ pockets and watch them get bored, go browsing and buy stuff they’ll rarely use! Works for me! I love spending money on games and apps i’ll never get round to using in anger. It all seems so polite, with prices ranging from £0.59 to £5.99 (well, that’s the range i’ve been willing to stretch to so far). I just can’t feel offended with such low prices, even if the app isn’t quite what i need, er, ever!

Well done Apple! A job exceptionally well done.
