It seems that Steve Jobs isn’t too happy with the Internet Explorer team for “copying their stuff”. Or maybe he was still fuming at Microsoft holding patents for various iPod features.
Anyway, a couple guys walk by our table and Dean says “hey, was that Steve Jobs?”
I check and say “yes.” The trademark black turtleneck and jeans gave him away.
Then I follow him outside and introduce myself. “Hi I’m Robert Scoble and I work at Microsoft and it’s an honor meeting you.” By then Dave and Dean walk up. “I’d like to introduce you to Dean Hachamovitch, he runs the Internet Explorer team and this is Dave Winer.”
He then said something like “cool, nice to meet you. It’s nice to see that you’re copying our stuff.” Ouch.
