Pictures of Steve Jobs' Demolished Mansion

Gizmodo has hired a plane and took some photos of Steve Jobs' now demolished mansion.

The Jackling House was located in Woodside, California, designed and built for copper mining magnate Daniel Cowan Jackling and his family by the noted California architect George Washington Smith in 1925. George Washington Smith integrated the 17,000 sq ft residence and landscaped gardens with a large traditional courtyard, open-air balconies, and many indoor-outdoor sightline and access connections. Details about the house and its contents when Jackling lived there, including the organ, are in his collected papers in the Stanford University Library. [W]

After a long legal battle, the mansion was destroyed earlier this week. Local preservationists had created a group, 'Uphold Our Heritage', dedicated to saving the historic residence but they were unsuccessful.

iPad Keynote Superlatives

Language is a very powerful thing and Steve Jobs uses it particularly well during his keynote presentations.

In a blog post about Apple‘s handling of the iPhone 4′s antennagate issues, Dilbert creator Scott Adams writes, “I’ve wondered for some time if Jobs studied hypnosis, or if he’s some sort of freakish natural,” asserting that Jobs “speaks and acts like a master hypnotist.”

This cleverly edited version of the iPad keynote is a fascinating look at Jobs’s use of positive adjectives. Although you may not realize it as you watch the full-length keynote in real time, this edit reveals his presentations are liberally peppered with powerful, affirmative language.
