• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

A fruitarian diet won’t help you against pancreatic cancer.

Or, in other words, you can’t fight P.C. with apples.

You can’t take it with you.

Also, if you have cancer, go to a doctor.
