Just click the above instead.
Can Anon84 (or mod) link the original in the title instead? I enjoyed the post, but it'd save people time.
Not to be stern but: Please submit the original source. If a blog post reports on something they found on another site, submit the latter.

Anyone else reminded of the Mac vs. PC commercials when looking at http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/fortune/0911/gallery.ste... ?
I'm reminded of how badly I want an Eames lounge chair :)
Anyone has more info about the "not having any furniture" thing? It's the first I hear of it.
The pic isn't new [1][2].
Two anecdotes on Jobs' Furniture:
Larry Ellison, "It struck me that there wasn't furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He'd rather have nothing if he couldn't have perfection."
Ed Riddle, an early Mac team member, recalls his interview with Steve Jobs: sitting on a furniture-less floor, staring into each others' eyes--the two men shared a Zen master--followed by Jobs bowing and saying it had gone well.
I did something similar. I wanted to figure out: what were the fewest amount of items I needed to get stuff done? I shrunk it to: a bed, desk, chair and computer. Of course I had peripheral stuff. But now that I think about it, I didn't even need them.

Shame they didn't caption everyone at the table in this photo:

You might be able to find some matching people in the images from folklore.org (great site for you early Mac fans out there).

Yep, I used to follow it years ago when it was still being updated. I think I've read all the stories on that site. (That's where I learned that Steve Jobs couldn't program. Amazing!)
The no-furniture titbit is interesting. The no-clutter principle in apple design, packaging, and his famed presentations seems to have been part of his real-world aesthetics too.
his house looks like something out of a disney (or pixar) movie. based on the photos, the inside looks equally interesting.
yeah, too bad he wants to tear it down and build a new one in its place. I love old 1920s style Stucco homes. They have a hell of a lot more character and style than anything new. It's sad to see the house lived in in those photos and now its derelict and empty and rotting away.
