Google Exec Vic Gundotra -- 2008 Google Logo Memory

Featured Topics

Google senior vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra posted a story about Steve Jobs from 2008 to his Google + profile. The Apple CEO had called Gundotra during a religious service and Gundotra apologized for not picking up the unidentified call. According to Gundotra: "He said, "'Vic, unless the Caller ID said 'GOD', you should never pick up during services.'" What was the call about? The Google logo. Jobs' concern? Gundotra writes that Job said,"I've been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I'm not happy with the icon. The second O in Google doesn't have the right yellow gradient. It's just wrong and I'm going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"'

"...That Apple would still continue and if he feared that, I would happily take him to the store tomorrow where employees will inform him that they will still eagerly take our money for years to come. I will still go forward with the plan to upgrade my iPod and pass along my old one to him."

OH DEAR GOD! apple brainwashing at an early age.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny too. Obviously he came to be associated with Microsoft for a large part of his career, but he was raised on Macs, apparently, and continued to use them.

What's interesting about this one is I think this child pretty much brain-washed himself, out of thin air.

We aim to please! It still isn't perfect, but hopefully everyone thinks this format is a marked improvement over the last one.

Is is really sad and unfair for Steve Jobs to suffer from such a deadly disease. As it is for all persons, famous or not...
