so let's talk about your relationship with Apple because you you have a relationship with Apple and in fact I and I don't know I don't know what your relationship with was like with Steve Jobs and I do want to talk about the post Apple jobs but I know that you guys had talked at least one time I was like standing off to the side I think maybe when you met him I don't know if you've met you had met him before this I think it was maybe the iPhone 4 after the iPhone 4 announcement right is that the first time was it the first time you met him that was so I was standing like off doing some photographs of it and I saw Jobs come over and be introduced to you no no no no job doesn't come over to even rato you were they say they say would you like to meet Steve right and then you're like you were brought down there were some but there was something there was somebody drifted in one direction okay Caitie cotton asked me if I'd wanted to meet him and and I actually said to her I said has anybody ever said no to that she said no right and and I and I saw you guys wrap it a little bit did that does that relationship go beyond that I mean did you guys did you email know each other did you ever have any no because he actually they actually Jobs actually cited you as a response to what was this over was this flash or it was either that it was either the dev tools when they kind of banned third-party devs yeah there's something to do with flash and and you had written a big one of you guys remember this but there was a lot of controversy about the app store and the kind of tools you could use or flash it was one of those one of their controversies about things we don't want on the iPhone right and you would written a big piece on Darien fireball all right and job said go read Darren fireballs post on this because we think this sums it up for us and we think junk goobers take on this is insightful and not negative is that what is that yeah how was the traffic on that it was just crazy I mean it really was it's died far and away the most traffic post and that wall it was is one of those things were some random guy emailed Steve Jobs some other guy like a developer you know somebody nobody had heard of right had emailed Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs just wrote back this one line john Gruber's we think john Gruber's take his insightful and not negative and that was it he responded in an email and then the guy who did that got the email and you know where some people would get emails from Steve Jobs and then put it on a weblog and say Steve Jobs sent an email and everybody goes nuts it's at the top of tech meme you know the next day yeah that happened yeah so it's like second or third hand though it's some random guys site you know which never got big traffic I mean you should have just been sending out those emails as Steve Jobs it was easily like a 25% bump like they know like if you look back at like my month-to-month stats it was easily like 25 30 percent higher than the month before
