Cost of living in Hanoi is so high because of strict building codes. They have these towers, you see, and they constantly have to move them a floor at a time across the city, and the larger floors have to sit below the smaller floors, with

No "history of Apple" page? He may not have played an active role for a long time, but it seems a sad property of corporations that they constantly whitewash the past. Like: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-i
