So I just noticed that Gary Vaynerchuk follows me on Tumblr… and you know what, he might follow everyone… but it still makes me feel awesome. So in his honor, I will crush it today, and from this day forth.

I love Steve’s response. I just love it. And I REALLY love that he was the one that responded. His style of succinct e-mail replying is very similar to someone else I know… hmmmm… ; )

From Gizmodo:

Apple told The Little App Factory to change the name of their popular app iPodRip, as it had the word iPod in it. The CEO sent a passionate letter to Steve Jobs, and he got a response.

Here’s the letter he sent:

Dear Mr. Jobs,

My name is John Devor and I’m the co-owner of a small Mac shareware company named The Little App Factory and a long-term Apple customer and shareholder. I doubt you’re aware but we recently received a letter from a law firm working on Apple’s behalf instructing us that we had violated several of Apple’s trademarks in our application iPodRip and asking us to cease using the name and Apple trademarks in our icons.

We have been distributing iPodRip since 2003 with the aim of providing a method to recover music, movies and photos from iPods and iPhones in the event of a serious hardware failure on their Mac which leads to data loss. Our goal has been to provide the highest quality product coupled with the highest quality service in a bid to resolve some of the angst that is generated by such an ordeal; service befitting of an Apple product. In this department we think we have succeeded as we have approximately 6 million customers, many Apple employees, music artists and other notable people in society. In fact I’d argue that our customer service is the best of all competing applications in our niche as many of them are scams and frauds that leave Apple customers with a terrible taste in their collective mouths. We fear very much that tens of thousands of Apple customers looking to recover their own music and having heard of our product via word-of-mouth or otherwise, will instead find a product produced by one of our competitors, and will wind up the victim of a scam (one closely-named competitor charges a hidden monthly fee, for instance).

It is quite obvious that we mean Apple no harm with the use of the name iPodRip, or of the inclusion of trademarked items in our icons, and in fact I believe that we have been providing an excellent secondary service to Apple customers that has potentially caused you many repeat clients. In fact, we are quite aware that Apple support and store staff have recommended our software on numerous occasions as far back as 2004 so we have felt that we were doing something right!

With this in mind, we are in desperate need of some assistance and we beseech you to help us to protect our product and our shareware company, both of which we have put thousands upon thousands of hours of work into. Our company goal is to create Mac software of the highest quality with the best user experience possible. I myself dropped out of school recently to pursue a path in the Mac software industry, and you yourself have been a consistent inspiration for me.

If there is anything at all you can do with regards to this matter, we would be most grateful.

Best,

John Devor

And Steve replied:

Change your apps name. Not that big of a deal.

So they changed the name of their app to iRip. Fair enough! [CrunchGear]

“Something has changed within me, something is not the same. I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep. It’s time to trust my instincts; close my eyes and leap!
It’s time to try defying gravity. I think I’ll try defying gravity, and you can’t pull me down!
I’m through accepting limits cause someone says they’re so. Some things I cannot change but till I try, I’ll never know! Too long I’ve been afraid of losing love I guess I’ve lost. Well, if that’s love it comes at much too high a cost!
I’d sooner buy defying gravity! Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity and you can’t pull me down!
As someone told me lately, “Ev’ryone deserves the chance to fly!” And if I’m flying solo, at least I’m flying free! To those who’d ground me, take a message back from me; tell them how I am defying gravity. I’m flying high, defying gravity.”

“

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa City police are investigating an early morning assault in which a man accused another of being a zombie, then punched him twice. Police said the assault occurred at 1:17 a.m. Sunday at an Iowa City restaurant south of the University of Iowa campus.

A man was ordering food when he was approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye. When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose.

The man then ran out a back door.

The victim was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
