			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen a Steve Jobs keynote? Have you noticed he seems to be wearing the same black polo/turtle neck for years?</p>
<p>I got interested and here&#8217;s what came up:</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUM8k-jWV0w" target="_blank">1998 Macworld keynote</a> he seems to be wearing the black turtle neck. Unfortunately the quality of the video is quite low, but I&#8217;m sure if you dig deeper you can find a better quality pictures/videos.</p>
<p>Same goes for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUM8k-jWV0w" target="_blank">1999 keynote</a>, where even Noah Wyle wears one of these! Noah Wyle played Jobs in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122/">Pirates of Silicon Valley</a> which came out in 1999.</p>
<p>Skipping a few years and you can compare and contrast some pictures of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stevejobs_Macworld2005.jpg" target="_blank">2005</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Jobs_and_Bill_Gates_(522695099).jpg" target="_blank">2007</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Jobs.jpg" target="_blank">2008</a>, <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0410/" target="_blank">2010</a>.</p>
<p>The jeans Jobs wears are of different color on some occasions, and so are the sneakers! But the turtle neck looks the same always! So what is that turtle neck made of? Kevlar? Diamond threads? Unobtainium? Or maybe it&#8217;s not the threads at all!</p>
<p><span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p>I believe the explanations for the persistence of the turtle neck is a <strong>new Apple product</strong>! It could easily come to mind that Apple is testing out (yes in plain sight!) a completely new product. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet:</p>
<h2>The iPowder!</h2>
<p>Washing a regular piece of clothing with the iPowder seems to make it extremely durable and keep the colors intact for at least 12 years! What better advertising then show the people that what they&#8217;ve been witnessing for all those years was a test case of a completely new Apple product that will undoubtfully change the world! It doesn&#8217;t irritate the skin! Preserves the color and strengthens the threads! It was proved that 1 in 1000 cases it might cause a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124546193182433491.html" target="_blank">severe liver damage</a>, but this minor bug is being worked on and it will certainly be fixed before rolling out the final product!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Всеки период се характеризира със своите &#8216;силни&#8217; и &#8216;модерни&#8217; хора и техните &#8216;професии&#8217;. Силните и модерните са тези, на които всички искат да поддръжават:</p>
<p>До 1989 трябваше да си (син на) член на ЦК.</p>
<p>Около 1992 трябваше да си просто &#8216;гъзар&#8217;.</p>
<p>След 1995 се изискваше да си борец.</p>
<p>Около 2000 година стана модерно да си (син на) хотелиер.</p>
<p>След 2003 всичко се опрости &#8211; трябваше да си просто крупен бизнесмен.</p>
<p>Днес, бизнесмените не са на мода &#8211; работят твърде много, имат прекалено много отговорности. Днес, ако искаш да си модерен &#8211; стани консултант.</p>
