"(Big name research firm) says our market will be $50 billion in 2010." Every entrepreneur has a few slides about how the market potential for his segment is tens of billions. It doesn't matter if the product is bar mitzah planning software or 802.11 chip sets. Venture capitalists don't believe this type of forecast because it's the fifth one of this magnitude that they've heard that day. Entrepreneurs would do themselves a favor by simply removing any reference to market size estimates from consulting firms.

That's when you find out who you are and what your values are.

I was actually a fruitarian at that point in time. I ate only fruit. Now I'm a garbage can like everyone else.

Hoping to stimulate creativity. And it stuck. And that's why we're called Apple.
