I wasn't saying Steve Jobs was self-promotional like Wolfram, but a lot of Apple reveals involved 'incredible, never-before-seen' sorts of language. Language like "as far as I know we're the first people to ever do this" seems like the kind of thing Steve would say about a product; these guys are just applying it to a project they worked on.
If I'm honest, I'm probably just very cynical about any sort of salesmanship.

- seanmcdirmid 13y agoProbably. People act like apple was the first company to perfect their marketing and message, maybe they were, but it's completely acceptable to me that a company would want to optimize how they present their products. Most of us are just jealous of how successful they've become, which is also not unexpected. Wolfram, however, could work on sounding a bit more humble in selling himself.
