One of the French surrealists noted that "Salavador Dali" is an anagram of "Avida Dollars".


Cute idea, but

•Dali has been quoted to say, "Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it." Steve Jobs is notorious for his perfectionism.

are opposites, not a mark of similarity.

And I'm surprised the phrase "reality distortion field" didn't come up.


Wasn't Salvador Dali a Franco regime collaborator? He claimed to be Communist and Anarchist but I have my doubts.

I do not think that Steve Jobs is any of these, so why are they pretty similar?


The line above the title says it all :-D


yes, typical bullshit article.


I did glance through the rest of his blog, the only highlight was a remark "I'm ----ed if I go deaf".

(this blog ate up the four stars in the quote above)
