That makes no sense. If you are as much a fan as you bring your family there, but you don't know what Steve Jobs looks like? Has he not be on the cover of absolutely everything since 2007?
- veyron 15y agothere's a whole cohort of people who are entranced by the iphone but have never seen steve jobs. To be fair, he doesn't appear anywhere in the stores or in most advertisements. I realize it's hard to believe, but you can be a fan of the product without being aware of the key members of the company that produced the product.
- pmorici 15y agoI'd say it's conceivable. Isn't there a statistic out there that says something to the effect of a large portion of the population can't name the current president of the United States?
- epo 15y agoI think that was the vice-president. What is shocking is that in another survey, some 40% of Americans asked didn't know who or what the Taliban were.

- tjogin 15y agoMost people who love the Mac or some other Apple product are fans of the _product_, many of them have never even heard of Steve Jobs, and most of them don't know what he looks like. I know that doesn't jive with the popular misconception that everybody who loves an Apple product idolizes Steve Jobs, but, really, it's all about the product.

- hernan7 15y agoI can totally believe it, we went with the family once to visit/snoop around the Google campus, but if Eric Schmidt or Larry Page had showed up, I don't think I would have recognized them. (And we use Google products every day.)
