Fruity Villains Help Celebrate Apple's 30th Birthday [blog.wired.com]

The 30th anniversary of Apple Computer this weekend, combined with the recently positive media attention to all things Apple and Steve, you just know there's a load of bad articles on their way. I've read two already.

One thing I have just finished reading that really didn't suck, is this Apple Heroes and Villains on Wired.

I remarkably agree with basically all of their decisions and the comments are pretty accurate. Even to the level of pointing out that the only truly unreliable hardware produced under Steve Jobs has been the Apple III.

It's an entertaining read with short pieces of text and photos - it would actually make a great coffee table book!

Another nice short piece I found is by long time Silicon Valley journo Evelyn Richards: Change is as comfortable as a black turtleneck.

On a related note and almost as if to celebrate their shared history in recognition of Apple Computer's achievments, Beatles label Apple Corps are back at sueing Apple Computer over the use of the Apple name in the music business. Nothing would be more remeniscent of the old days except perhaps a look and feel suit :)
