interesting article on Steve Jobs.

From Web: What makes Steve's methodology different from everyone else's is that he always believed the most important decisions you make are not the things you do – but the things that you decide not to do. He's a minimalist. I remember going into Steve's house and he had almost no furniture in it. He just had a picture of Einstein, whom he admired greatly, and he had a Tiffany lamp and a chair and a bed. He just didn't believe in having lots of things around but he was incredibly careful in what he selected. The same thing was true with Apple. Here's someone who starts with the user experience, who believes that industrial design shouldn't be compared to what other people were doing with technology products but it should be compared to people were doing with jewelry… Go back to my lock example, and hinges and a door with beautiful brass, finely machined, mechanical devices. And I think that reflects everything that I have ever seen that Steve has touched.
