I take that back. I believe there was a Jesus Christ... but he was just some dude slightly less charismatic than Steve Jobs.

Oddly enough one of the biggest new fields I'm learning about in my interactive media course is information architecture and visualization due to the overwhelming quantity of information available online. Information is probably going to be a new gold rush.

I agree with Cheeks. I mean how successful could a man who spoke eloquently and without stumbling over his words for 5 minutes make a "store" anyway? Forget about the reconstructed approach to selling and support he mentioned. What a bumbling fool!

"charismatic" "speaking eloquently without stumbling over words" and "bumbling fool" are all different things.

Being successful doesn't make you "charming" The link between the two things is loose at best. There are tons of uncharismatic successful people.

Shit, drew, do you even read what you say? Have you really thought "oh man, steve jobs restructured selling, HOW FUCKING CHARISMATIC OF HIM"

See Cheeks is the opposite of charismatic -- a nuisance -- so he can't ever understand this concept. Compelling devotion in others is exactly what charisma is by definition. Jobs did that to the letter.

it isn't nonsense. There is nothing charismatic about Steve Jobs as a person.

If you take apple away from him, he looks and acts like any random guy on the street.

But I guess I shouldn't be too hard on your guys. This is a pretty common misconception.

That was pretty great, Gohron.

I spent most of the day cleaning my computer room, and I found my original 1999 Japanese Dreamcast tucked away in a box. I had put it away since it was acting weird more than 10 years go, and the system looked like garbage now. There was an old tweeter on top of it that had corroded, so it had brown and green shit all over it, and the system was more yellow and brown than gray, I didn't think the thing had a hope of working.

I took it completely apart, laughed at the really ghetto region mod that I paid some jackasses to do way back when, and scrubbed the shell really well until the thing sparkled. All kinds of shit came off that thing. I put it back together, and it looks brand new, and plays perfectly.

Now it's time to make some crazy money.

Just nearly spit juice all over my laptop. 2 things, though.

1) I don't think some of those error words are in the autocorrect dictionary. Does the iPhone add them if you type them often?

2) None of the AT&T signal strength indicators on any of the pics had full bars...which is really par for the course.

Nick to me re Podcast

You can be on if you have an area of expertise that is of interest to our target audience (e.g., Zelda games, open-world games, Capcom fighters, vertical shooters) - something we could generally write a feature about on the-nextlevel.com - that you can discuss at length in a sufficiently engaging manner. And everyone is edited as needed.
