Apple Computer has a "a lot of new things in the pipeline," according to CEO Steve Jobs. While he didn't elaborate as to what kind of things his company is working on, he made the comments in an exclusive interview given to the Guardian UK's Bobbie Johnson.

The interview took place this week, as Mr. Jobs is in Europe doing a press tour for Apple Expo in Paris.

Mr. Jobs spoke about how he sees Apple, saying: "There's a very strong DNA within Apple, and that's about taking state-of-the-art technology and making it easy for people."

The Guardian added that Apple's targets are busy, modern consumers; "people who don't want to read manuals, people who live very busy lives."

Other topics covered in the interview include Apple's environmental programs -- "One automobile is, I'm sure, greater in impact than 100,000 iPods," said Mr. Jobs -- and Mr. Jobs assertions that Apple is not a political company.

"We're not trying to sell belief," he said. "We're just who we are. Apple has values we care about; Apple cares about tolerance. We are not a political company, but a company with a set of values."
