[11:00 AM] Steve Jobs's Top 10 (Mostly Rejected) Feature Requests For His New Gulfstream V by CogX (Send e-mail to Editor) We haven't heard from our source CogX for a while, but he has sent us some startling information. It seems that he has uncovered Steve Jobs' Top 10 (mostly rejected) feature requests for his new Gulfstream V. Without further ado: Steve Jobs's Top 10 (Mostly Rejected) Feature Requests For His New Gulfstream V: 10) A translucent fuselage. 9) Mac OS X Server Rack 8) Fans replaced with natural convection ventilation (e.g. "lots of little holes") to reduce noise. 7) MacOS 9, your airliner Co-Pilot. 6) Replacement of the flight stick with a round mouse. 5) No floppy drive (DONE!) 4) A handle 3) Under 6 pounds and a 6 hour battery life. 2) Fully AppleScriptable! and the #1 rejected feature request... 1) Absolutely no Windows! You can find more information on Steve Jobs' compensation package in our coverage. The Mac Observer Spin: This is too rich. Thanks to CogX for the great Top 10 List! Apple
