Steve Jobs :: Historic Blunder by HP !

So we went to Atari and said,
`Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts,
and what do you think about funding us?
Or we'll give it to you.
We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, `No.'
So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said,
`Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'
~Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer Inc. on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his personal computer.

Love... !!..

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise , the flexibility of the child , the sensitivity of the artist , the understanding of the philosopher , the acceptance of the saint , the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain . ~Leo Buscaglia ++ Perhaps it is good to have a BEAUTIFUL MIND, but an even greater gift is to discover a BEAUTIFUL HEART. ~Beautiful Mind (*Movie) [[ MyWords : Wordless... ! ]]

Seeing It... !!..

"If the Human Body is Obscene, Complain to the manufacturer, Not Me." ~Larry Flynt Long back while watching Discovery Channel. In a Program, I heard them say: "Our Body is Dynamic. Changes every day. Each & Every Day... ! Human Skeleton is COMPLETELY RENEWED every 10 years." *Current Research -- PMID: 8519493, PMID: 597437 [[ Pubmed IDs ]] We say that: (1) His Eyes are intense. (2) Her Smile is good. etc. IS IT FOR ALL? ...ALWAYS?? I'm trying to say that - Its All in the Eyes ! A person lying naked on the bed... can be anyone from a child to someone selling body for money. And EYES can be anything from Saintly Ignorant to Gyenocologist at Work to a Ponce to Sharp Shooter to Fighter Pilot to a Mother [[who feels - and not just See It !]] Some Child [[unable to See beyond some feet !]] to a Blind [[who still can see - WITHOUT EYES !]]... Or may be YOUR OWN EYES ! Well this Human Body as we SEE is not the same for long. Beautiful today, can be Granny tom...
