It's my understanding the Andy has always been a Robotics geek even dated as far back as his days a Danger. So I find it hard to believe the argument that Andy has to be coerced into perusing a Robotics vision that he had no passion for.
- legulere 11y agoHis wikipedia article says that his first job was as a robotics engineer at Carl Zeiss for three years.
- kolme 11y agoSomeone pointed out he already worked in a company making robots for three years. Well, maybe that's even why Android is called "Android".
- mandeepj 11y agoApple engineers nick named Andy as 'Android' and he choose that name for his mobile OS (android)
- doyoulikeworms 11y agoI wonder if that was a Star Trek reference
- jakobloekke 11y agoWhat an amazing piece of trivia! Thank you for that.
- jdcarter 11y agoI can confirm this. I worked with Andy at General Magic, and I later worked at Danger, Inc. (but after Andy had left). Andy was building robots the entire time. The early Danger office had several robots that Andy had built for fun.
