Wooooosh. It's a reference to comparing oneself to Steve Jobs. They make fun of it in Silicon Valley and elsewhere in tech culture.

- raymondh 10y agoThe Steve Jobs reference wasn't lost on me, but it is a distractor from the central topics of non-accountability, integrity, and management. Especially when women are involved, discussing what outfit is being worn is a red herring and tends to degrade the quality of the thread.
- EliRivers 10y agoIt does when the comment on someone's clothing is whether or not it compliments her figure and if she's wearing this season's colours. Dressing like a clown should be commented upon. Somewhere between these two extremes is deliberately dressing like Steve Jobs.
- DavidHm 10y agoMaybe. But the Jobs attire is not so special that people wouldn't wear it unless they were trying to emulate him. If I had to pick on dress to wear every single day of my life, it would probably be a grey turtleneck - pretty close.
- daemin 10y agoAlthough in this case if any male business leader would wear a black turtleneck, they too would be compared to Steve Jobs as well.
- forgetsusername 10y ago>Especially when women are involved, discussing what outfit is being worn Uh, why is this "especially" so, just because a woman is involved? Why are people so desperate to make everything a gender issue?
- EliRivers 10y agoThe clothing choices of female politicians and business leaders is routinely commented upon by the media, to a far far far far higher degree than males; nobody is making this a gender issue. It already is.
