Sometime after 1997 when Jobs returned to Apple, he gave this motivational speech defining Apple and their “core beliefs”. While wearing shorts. While we can’t promise he’ll be sporting bare legs this Wednesday, this minute-long clip is powerful stuff.

My favorite quote from the video shows the lack of modesty that Jobs manages to deliver so well:

“What we’re about isn’t making boxes for people to get their jobs done, although we do that well.”

But if you’re wanting to create a motivational desktop wallpaper featuring his photo and a choice quote, you can’t go wrong with this little gem:

“Apple at the core, its core value, is that we believe that people with passion can change the world for the better.”

Ortery’s Photosimile 5000 3D photocopier has taken two years to go on sale since it first surfaced in 2008, providing digital 3D replicas of whatever object you place inside it. Think of the possibilities!

Once the object is placed on the Ortery turntable inside the box, a Canon DSLR takes 360 degree photos, with the four daylight bulbs giving 6500K of illumination—the perfect lighting conditions for the 72 photos taken.

Connected to a PC by USB, the images are saved as GIF or Flash files, and then transferred to the Photosimile software. If all of this is getting you hot under the collar at the thought of such a machine, better schedule a meeting in with your bank manager—it’s $17,000 and has just started shipping.
